Wow, kids back in school. What am I to do?
We had a wonderful week at Ed. Week. Great learning and nice to get away. Berries are on...
T held down the FORT here at home with help from K. She did some teaching in Logan and I bet was relieved to see us come home on Friday. She is going to SLC this week for school. I think
K last email was not live, since we were in Provo and the internet was not working. He is doing well...learning the Russian Language and lovin' the life at the MTC. Letter came on Thurs. with Tons of Pictures. He looks awesome. What a great Guy.
N is so excited and becoming more independent and doing things for himself. He got a FAT CATS shirt at my favorite store. New glasses too. We found the old ones after placing the order and paying for the new ones. WHS in the 10th Grade..Wow.
C is 6th grade at NOE. We can see her class from our front porch. Nice new school. She will love it. Great help to N. She went fishing with K and N and had all kinds of fun while D and S were gone. Growing up so fast.
D is back to work... S is going to find something to keep her busy. She finish the quilt, so now what?
Temple dedication was wonderful. Great messages. We have so much to be thankful for.

24th Year Anniversary for D&S
We are headed to Provo, so I am posting today. We did get to see "UP" finally. Great Disney Pixar family film. Raining, soaking wet--5K on Saturday.
D RAN the 5k. He officially committed to run the TOU half marathon with K. So he will keep up the running for a while. We did get to go to lunch with N & C for the last time before school starts. He was the Seed Spitting Contest winner at the Stake Fair on Saturday. Now there's a "Claim to Fame".
S finished sewing the "I Spy Quilt" this week. Now the cutting begins.....Since the block have been around for 5 years now. She walked with N & C for the 5K on Saturday but has been running on the WHS track most days. Excited for Ed. Week.
T fed the pool staff and is closing up the year at North Shore. She did some shopping this week with K and attended Real Soccer last night on the 4th row! She will start traveling to Logan this coming week for some classes, but then will be working close to home at McKay Dee in the NICU. She will be filling in for Mom and Dad this week.......
K was e-mailing us this Tues. but the computer crashed while we were in the process. He got the bag the same day...cookies and all. D & S will be dropping off his phone cards etc. at the front desk while they are in Provo. He seems to be doing great.Got a long letter in the mail and things sound like they are going great.
N is ready to go to "Good Ole' Weber". We laughed really hard when we came home from church to a message on the phone that the bus would pick him up at 6:34.....Uhm.... that would mean he would be up before 6. S thinks she will be taking him up each morning. He earned his Fat Cats Money. Walked the 5K with the dog and much prodding. Got on the dunking machine at the Fair twice. Skating and Tennis on Friday.
C decided to wait for now with the Swim team. Their competitions sound like they are the same time as Gym in the fall. She loved the Dunking Machine and drug the dog along the 5k too....or was it the dog drug her? She has a brand new school to go to this year and gets to walk to and from. That will be much nicer than the traveling she did last year. 6th Grade will be great. She such a great friend to Nate. They will have an eventful week with Mom and Dad gone.
See you next week.

Monday August 10th
Well, keeping up 2 blogs is more work than I thought.
It is already August. Attended the Fair on Saturday, it was actually cool and nice. The animals were fun to see. Tuesday we got to email live with K.... that was fun. Wednesday at the Park and in the river was fun trying to fly kites. It cooled off and got windy on Thursday.
D had his 30 year Reunion at USU in Logan. He had a great time and enjoyed seeing old...friends. Shopping on Friday afternoon did him in. Too many people. He is very busy at work, but gets to take a week and go to Education week with S.
S thinks she is ready for school to start. Primary makes a busy Sunday. Froze at class reunion but is enjoying the cooler days. Exchanged K bag and made cookies to send him in the new one (packaged and sent on Friday).
T getting back into school. Rode in the Helicopter at the fair with K. Does dinner for us on Mondays.
N was somewhat interested in shopping on Friday for some school clothes though he has no concept of staying in the dressing room to change. Doing some swim lessons and piano with a lot of help from C.
C has been swimming with the Swim team in the morning. Not sure if it will last. Loved the Fair and the parrot show. Excited for new school to start.

Warm Weather/Busy week
We had a busy week and weekend. after we got K off to the MTC on Wednesday, the sewer backed up downstairs and we had to have the plumber come drill out the mail line to the road. We spent a day at Bear Lake. The lake is full and the beaches few. We also managed to down 2 Old Ephraim Pizzas, with a lot of help. Elder Black's farewell on Sunday filled the day. We did get in a good Nap at Moms on Sunday before the fireworks at WSU that night.
We have emailed E Parkinson(K) and sent a letter in the regular mail, but have not heard from him. I assume his p-day is today or tomorrow.
D busy back at work.
S took Primary kids to Oquirrh Mountain Temple open House. It was an all day trip......
T working and needs to take better care of herself. Too much stress...
K needs to write home ASAP
N is busy again with computer and movies. Softball practice is warm..
C getting excited for school to start.
The garden is growing and looks like a good year for berries.

What a day. Dropping your son at the curb......
We got K to the MTC. What an experience. I am grateful we did not get to go inside and experience the other side of the MTC. We left home at 10:00 and ate in Provo at a Hawaiian restraunt. It was good. We rode down in (Snowball Express) Mom's Suburban. It was difficult, but K was really ready to begin. Then we drove to Park City to do some shopping. C got some clothes for school. Then we visited with Aunt Afton. We got home about 5 p.m. It is kinda somber. I am still washing from camping and the luncheon after K talk. I took a picture of his room and then proceeded to find the floor and bed to change the sheets and vacuume. D helped me that was hard. So life goes on.

Vacation Over MTC in 2 days
What a week. July 4th we ran/walked the 5K in North Ogden and enjoyed the parade here. Then went to Liberty for Fireworks. We went to Island Park on Monday the 5th and returned on Saturday. K talked on Sunday and we ate lunch at the Sr. Center. We have had a great time.
D is off until Thursday. He enjoyed the camping and was such a big kid. It is nice to have him here.
S is not sure she is ready for Wednesday, but it will come ready or not. Fever Blisters left over from Island Park. So grateful for family... changed and showered twice yesterday.
T back to work. She and K joined us in Island Park for a few days. She survived camping.... She made some great ranch dressing for the lunch and finished sewing her quilt yesterday.
K has so much to do and only a few days. He gave a great talk on Obedience on Sunday. Needs to pack and get the leftovers and clean his room.
N is glad to be home and back on the treadmill and watching too much TV. Wore out the tires on his bike at camp. He did lots of biking around the loop.
C is probably not ready for this week. She is more emotional that way. I hope she is strong.
