HI Kevin!
We have had sun this week!
Woo HOo! The sidewalk is finally
done. Here is a picture of the stick
figures Jessica and I put on the new slab up by our porch. Can you guess which one is you?
She had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, ranch chicken for dinner and an ice-cream pie that was melting as we lit the candles!
Dad has had the girls out in the yard cleaning up- The
backyard is looking pretty good. I made
new cushions for the swing- hopefully the squirrels won’t rip it apart. Rachel worked cleaning up the
trampoline. We had to rip off all the
foam pads and spring covers cuz it was all rotting. Bolts all tightened up, legs attached, and
net upright again. She is planning on
having friends over this summer and wants it in working condition. We got the roof lifted on my
gazebo/arbor. Here are some pictures so you
can see my creation. I plan on adding a few more screws- the roof is just
sitting there. I plan on the ivy growing
over top, and maybe some other climbing plants too.
Crazy girls on the swing.
We have enjoyed FHE out around the
fire. We roasted hotdogs for dinner on
Monday. Rebecca’s mom thought we were
silly having a fire on the hottest day of the week! We enjoyed them anyway- did some woof’ems
too.
We had a fun activity for Young Women’s on Tuesday. We hosted a Newlywed game for the Sr.
Citizens/empty nesters of our ward. The
contestants provided us with some great entertainment. They have even requested to have this
activity again next year.
Jessica’s bday was on Thursday. She got a bunch of books
(all Jane Austen and also Ella Enchanted). Also a pattern for a dress she wants
to make, and an apron pattern that she already sewed.
Jennifer’s birthday was on Saturday. She told us that she wanted homemade cookies
and brownies. So Jessica baked up a
storm- 3 types of cookies: chocolate
chip, snicker doodles, and oatmeal.
Melissa made brownies. We shipped
those to her and also sent her a children’s book with great illustrations that
she wanted. Rachel sent her an artist
magnet that she wanted. And dad gave in
and bought her an Appa plushy. We got
one very happy phone call from her when she received that in the mail!
So that has been our week.
It was fun. Hope you had a great
one too. Our prayers are with you. Lots of love, MomJ
