Want to take a cake decorating class. I have lost my skill and want to retrieve it.
Jasmine finished EFY. She didn't want to go at first but felt very spiritual about it and is glad she attended.
On the 4th, Malcolm and I took each one of the girls on a 2 hour 'mother/father/daughter' excursion. Lizzie wanted to clothes shop at Naartjie so she got 4 dresses. Emma wanted lunch at Einsteins; she got her chocolate chip coffee cake and Ellie got breakfast at IHOP. Jasmine ended up having dinner with us the next night at Applebee's. It was fun to have just one child to focus on. I think we should do that once a month but maybe not spend so much money :)
Had a BBQ with Jennifer and Mark at their house.
Took Ellie to see my mom on her 75th birthday. She had surgery the day before so we wanted to lift her spirits. They removed the rod in her leg in hopes to heal the wound from the break. My dad seemed weak and tired. Poor guy.
Had our windows cleaned.
Ellie had her WCC. Doc heard a murmur that she didn't like. She referred us to a Cardiologist. I am not worried. I wonder why.
Looked up Ibrahima..and old friend. He owns a Massage Therapy School in Mississippi or Missouri....can't remember. Good talking with him.
Malcolm attended Girls Camp as a Priesthood leader.
Joanie and Jasmine went to court for their 'not wearing a seat belt tickets. Plead not guilty and have a new date in September.
Aunt Mary and Makayla flew into SLC on a buddy pass.
Went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House with the Bishop and his lovely wife and my buddy Lori.
After the temple, we all ate delicious ice cream and the best hot fudge ever at Leatherby's.
After ice cream someone had the bright idea of taking all the kids (7 I think) and putting them on the front porch of our friends, the Pitts and ringing the bell. When they answered (in their underwear), they told them 'our parents said we have to stay here'. The adults (us) were hiding across the street in the bushes...why was that so funny when we did it?
Spent the day on Pioneer Day with Jody and Su and Malcolm's sister. Cooked on the grill, played Settler's and had a ton of fun.
Swam a few times at our pool with Aunt Mary.
All of us went to Bear Lake and stayed in our condo/timeshare....rented SeaDoo's, 4 wheelers, swam at the pool, played one full day on the lake, watched a few movies, BBQ'd, rested, went to Raspberry Days. Want to go back again already.
Pictures to be added later
Oh my, I loved it. Thanks for the update! Your family is so fun. You have bee so busy! Now I'm curious about this seatbelt thing.... you got a ticket for that? What a lame-o cop.
ReplyDeleteJeez lady! I thought you had dropped off the face of the earth. Good to see you are doing good and having such a fun summer. That is so funny about dropping the kids off on the porch!
ReplyDeleteWere you really not wearing your seatbelts??!! Naughty!
