Feels like Summer!

What a crazy week and weekend. Time is flying by....
We will have someone in the Basement today so the kids will need to turn down the TV.

We took Family Photos this weekend what fun.

D is glad to move on to the next project, the Streaker. The oven is now working. Lighting and Logos will consume his time when he is not doing the basics. Busy this week at work with meetings with Honda. Was given a new Tie made of Airbag material...

S scrambling to get Kenny packed and pack for camping for 7 days and prepare sharing time and a Primary Quarterly Activity. Finished the July 4th pillow. Dentist appointments yesterday. I think the phone issue is solved for now. N wonders where his phone is......uhmmm. Peas lettuce from the garden are delicious. Bargain on Quilt batting in the garage.

T working on a quilt again. Busy at work with the sunshine. Still up too late....

K has taken over the front room floor in effort to get the suitcases packed. Finished work at DB. Going to the Temple with C Black. Did baptisms for the dead last week with N and D.trying to fit in as many last dates as possible.

N doing well with no summer school. Took swimming lessons with C. the last 2 weeks. Found a Tigger that sings and bounces.....oh my..

C swimming and gym and piano. 4-H class on babysitting has consumed her creative side lately. I sense some jealousy with the older kids freedoms....C sewed her own "I spy quilt Blocks"..WTGC

All registered for the 5K on the 4th....Walk, run or be pulled....

Hello Mr. Sun

We are happy to see the sun. Hope it stays here a while. We stood in line for 3 hours for the Disney Christmas Carol Train at the Ogden Train station on Tues. Enjoyed the weekend. Friday was filled with traveling and following the Ragnar Relay to cheer on K and L. Crazy people running day and night. Saturday we walked the 5K route in N. O. to see if we could make it. N took Sadie and she pulled him along. The rest of us made it ok, not great times, but finished. Sunday was a wonderful Father's Day.

D sang in Church with C and enjoyed his last primary Father's day song in Sacrament. Enjoyed visiting with family and wrestling with them on Sunday in Wellsville. Finishing up the details in the apartment. Got some chairs, g's, great cocoa almonds and a running shirt for Father's Day.

S is somewhat relieved that K bought some clothing for Ukraine. She realizes the sooner he leaves the sooner he comes home. He will do a wonderful job and have a great time on the 2 year adventure that awaits him. She finished the Blocks for quilt and helped T make a pillow on Friday. Found her cell phone in the washer and is now using N's. Went to Sam's club and spent too much money. Doesn't like that place.

T working but hardly no one wants to swim in the rain. Made a car pillow(BYU?) on Friday for K. Still staying out too late... the rebel. Wishing for $$ for a Sand Volleyball pit at North Shore, just doesn't know where $14,000 would come from. Excited for M and B to return. Though Mom assures her they will come home just as "weird" as all the other RMs.

K still working and got to work at DB again on Saturday. Beginning the spending cash to get ready for the mission thing. Last minute dates he is trying to fit in....of course the Disney Train was one of them.

N swimming lessons in his own unique style. Still gets up too early and finally got his word girl toy. We hope to now convince him to ride for a BYU pillow like K's.

C swimming and gym and piano. Got her teachers name for next year 6th grade at N. O. Elementary. Great sister and shopping buddy.

GOOD MORNING.....It is not Raining

Such a nice break from the wet. The weekend was full with the Wright Reunion. We are so lucky to have the Lodge to play in. Good food and great times with extended family. Sleeping in the lodge wasn't the best nights sleep for some. Kitchen in the apartment looks nice, we should move down there. FHE was on Ukraine, it was great to hear and see K experiences.

D survived the Weekend and even got part of the garage cleaned on Saturday. He is painting the Logos for the trailer. Rain makes it harder to run. Almost healed from the bike crash.

S worked on the blocks for the quilt for the first of the week. Did some mending while the machine was out.Then just worried about the rain and what to do with the family reunion. It turned out fine...we have a break for a year or two doing that. LOST Cell phone with her brain(calendar) in it......:-(

T has not been as busy with the wet rain, no one wants to swim.... imagine that? Exciting news from USU with a small scholarship. Any free school is better than none. Went to the temple open house.

K taught Sunday school and spoke in church. Did a great job. Only one month left and he is now where near ready. Work is getting old for him. I think he will be glad to get out of here. Also went the the temple open house. Finally got a hair cut!

N excited to go camping. Starts swimming lessons today. He is so good at waking up each morning....too early for mom. Seems to have weathered the short sickness fine. Back to normal.

C did all her blocks for the quilt and took a Babysitting class for 3 afternoons. She is a diligent young lady. Loves to stay up late with the big kids. Started back to gym but S had the wrong time and took her 40 min. late. Ooops.

Rain Rain GO AWAY

Looks like .....WET

We are getting some serious rain.

D attended the twins baptism and then rode his bike home. Only a 3 hours ride. Still healing the road rash on his back. Made a trip to the dump and the DI....Happy Guy.

S posted today cause she stayed home with N. and knows this week will be crazy getting ready for the Wright Reunion. Tired of sick kids washing bedding and trips to the Laundromat. Three in a month, that is a record. We are usually a health bunch. Cannot find her I spy blocks. Cleaning and getting rid of stuff. Took C shopping cause she needed to Get OUT of the HOUSE.

T burning the candle at both ends again...Some never learn to slow down. Has H here for the weekend. Fishing and outdoor movie before the rain poured down on Saturday night. Baptisms this week too.

K visited DB in Logan, I think he misses working there. Did not like having to work a job he doesn't like on his Birthday. Went to the Temple with K and J. Not in a hurry to get his clothing bought. Needs a haircut Bad. Takes the teasing about dropping him off on the Curb at the MTC pretty well.

N is the latest SICKY. He has had a fever for a couple of days and threw up( he rarely throws up) all over my bed and so...He didn't have to go the Dr. yet. He is doing better just a little coughing left now.

C done with meds for ears. Doing great on Piano and will be happy to start gym next week. Loves the new clothes from the shopping trip. Getting ready to sing with Dad on Fathers day.

We will try to stay dry and plan a reunion inside.

I am a little slower.

Since this is basically my Journal, I feel guilty if I have not updated this. After several blisters we got new running shoes for C, N and S. We have been walk/running as much as we can in prep for the 5K on July 4th. Cabinets for the Kitchen downstairs come next week. Then we need some renters. The kids will have to turn down the movies...

D took a spill on his Bike on Saturday and is bruised and has road rash. Cracked his helmet, so those of you that think you don't need a helmet. Think again. We are glad it was not worse.
He is very busy at work.

S attended Aunt Mae's funeral on Tues. thinking she was tough and did not need a kleenex... she was wrong. I Grateful for the gospel plan show us the truth. She took C to Dr. with ear infection. It is stressful going to the Dr. even for others. Primary is always chaotic on Sundays. Not sure about this Drop off your missionary at the MTC curbside stuff they have initiated. Having the kids home all day is harder to get things done, but cleaned the carpet runners and slate yesterday.

T working and doing much better with the right antibiotics. Her mouth looks great after seeing the dentist. She spends a lot of time with K. Who is a great kid. She seems to have interesting stories to tell. Her latest trauma was going into the pool for a save and breaking her favorite red glasses.....

K had his 19th Birthday with a Chocolate Peanut Butter cake and we sang to him 3 times. He actually ripped the wrapping paper on his gifts and is excited about his Pixar CD and Imagineering book. I bet it will be read by the weekend. Mom wishes he would start purchasing his Mission clothing......

N busy boy. Up at 6:30 is hard on Mom. Doing Great practicing piano with C. He likes to take the Dog for Walks. He talks about Buffalo Campground and is ready to go. Treadmilling for a "word girl toy". Anything that will get him moving.

C got flowers from a boy on the last day of school right in front of the whole class. Tiff called her a "Man Eater". I told her she was 10 years ahead of her time. She is a great teacher and helps so much with Nate. She went to the Dr. for an ear infection so the pills are being downed around here. She is great to talk to. The baby of the family, but one great kid.
