Weekend at Grammie's, Chapter 2

On Saturday morning Grandpa and I met Ryan, Lacey, Amy, and Jayson at the SLC airport. Ryan & Lacey had the awesome opportunity to be with President Monson in the celestial room as he dedicated the new Twin Falls Temple Sunday morning (Lacey's dad is one of the stake presidents there) so we brought Amy and Jayson to our house. Jayson wasn't so sure about the arrangement but he eventually warmed up to us.

Thomas and Amy have a great time together. It's so fun to watch them play and enjoy each other's company. Too bad they don't get the chance to be together very often.

On Sunday evening Emily and I took the kids back to the airport to meet Ryan & Lacey. It was a really quick visit but I'm so glad we had the chance to see them all again!

Cabin Fever

Last Thursday and Friday I went with the IRSC (Institute of Religion Student Council), three faculty members, and two other secretaries to this great cabin. This retreat is an annual event to train the student council for the upcoming school year. It was my chance to train them on how to use the institute credit cards and manage their budgets.

We had a blast. They are a great bunch and the institute is in good hands for the 2008-09 school year.

Weekend at Grammie's, Chapter 1

Logan and Kate came to stay with us from Thursday the 14th to Monday the 18th while their parents & bro & sis were playing in Hawaii. Grandpa and I really enjoyed them! Kate and Logan had spent the first part of the week at different families so when they got back together at our house Logan was really glad to see his sister. Whenever she left the room he would say, "Where's KateKate?" At bedtimes Kate got a little homesick and wanted to call her mom but did great the rest of the time.


Thomas & Mya came up to play with them on Friday morning. They are helping us get rid of some of the BYU brownies we had left over from institute Thursday night.

Grandpa & I had a previous engagement Saturday night and couldn't find a babysitter so Melissa kindly offered to take Kate and Logan to their Primary's bike parade and luau with them. Who needs Hawaii -- they got to go to this fun luau in American Fork!
Pretty fancy bike decorating!

It made me feel good when Kate wanted to call me at bedtime instead of her mom that night. They were good kids and kept us laughing at the cute things they said and did.

Stay tuned for "Weekend at Grammie's, Chapter 2" featuring Amy & Jayson coming up next week!

Tuacahn!

Wow! Tuacahn in St. George! On Friday night Ruth and I saw "The Sound of Music" and on Saturday night we saw "Les Mis". Fabulous! The performances were amazing and we got to mingle with the cast after the shows.

Sorry -- I haven't figured out how to put all of the following collages into one post, so just pretend that the next 3 posts are in this one. All in all it was a very fun weekend trip to St. George.

We arrived in St. George in time to join Mylee's 1-year-old birthday party in the park. Happy birthday, Mylee!

Saturday in the park

Here are Jen's kids playing in the water. What can be more fun than kids and water on a 100 degree day?
