We had another busy week here at home. Imagine that!
On Monday last week, which was Memorial Day, we went down to
Waterfront Park again like we did two years ago. We listened to the
speakers and singing groups. Turns out that one of the choirs that Mike
Loveland sings with was the main choir for this event this year. It was
fun seeing him perform. He played his guitar for an original song that
someone wrote about the war veterans. It was very moving.
Then we took Grandma to Chipotle for her first steak
burrito. Hey, they serve brown rice now! Also, we gave her a Voodoo donut
run. There were long lines there this year. Then we went up to the
Vietnam veterans memorial by the zoo. She’s never seen that before
either.
The band is busy getting ready for the Grand Floral Parade
which will happen this coming Saturday, the 9th.
We had our camp kickoff meeting for Hillsboro Stake Girls
camp on Thursday. I’m getting ready to do crafts again this year.
Friday was Pizza night and then we went to Scott Huskey’s
wedding reception at her parents’ home which is near my school.
Yesterday, Saturday we ran all day long. We went to
Aunt Donna’s to work on her computer a little. She has moved again. This
time to a small apartment very close to her old house. In fact, it’s just
across McLaughlin from her old neighborhood. It’s a very small apartment
by the Westmoreland park. Adam, I think we did an episode of Nowhere man
there at that park years ago.
Grandma will go home again on Wednesday. I think she’s ready to see her own digs again. It’s been so much fun having her here just to visit us. Haven’t been able to do that for years. Sounds like Grandpa’s been having fun with Mitch. They’ve been fishing, out to shop at the guy stores and to a basketball playoff game!
So, when we got to church today a newer family in the ward
sat in front of us. They have two little boys and then two little toddler
girls – Twins!! Dad loved that!
Elder Lawrence and Taylor say hi! Oh, and Elder
Gardner is flashing his “fiancé” now on Facebook with her nice new engagement
ring. These boys are wasting no time at all with getting hitched!
Chism is married already!
Emily Peck’s brother Carter just opened his mission call
tonight. He’s going to the Micronesia, Guam Mission! English
speaking. Guam is actually and American territory, so it should be
fun. I bet he takes a boat to Zone meetings! Guam is just a little
island that is about 10 miles wide and 30 miles long. Fun! He leaves
September 5th, so he has the summer to prepare.
Spoke to Brother Weed today. We exchange words like,
“how’s your missionary doing?” and “Great! And how are yours?” Pretty
funny. Nothing specific, since I’m always in a rush to get to Primary
these days.
Adam, how’s your foot doing this week?????? I’m
anxious for a report! Dad pulled his own stiches out of his finger on
Friday. One of them was getting infected, but it’s better now. He’s
so ADD, he obsessed over them all week. Silly man.
Band awards are this Tuesday. Can’t believe another
year is passed. 7 ½ more days of school!!!! Then summer!
And Adam, you hit your 6 months on the 28th!
Then Drew less than 2 ½ months later…It’s going by!
Hope you have a wonderful week. Can’t wait to get your
emails this week!
Drew, my clock is set to ring every day at 7:00am to pray
with you!
Love you all,
Mom
