Birthdays and school days and lagoon day, oh my!!


On Monday these cute Idaho boys were back to school!! (Photo credit: Britt) 
Also on Monday we had our first full day withTrevor's  family here ... 
Such wonderful people!! 
Dad was missing in action since he was driving Emily to Texas ... Trevor picked him up at midnight at the airport when he got back!!   Thanks Trevor!  (Photo credit Emily and Scott) 
Tuesday morning we had our final teeth cleaning before our mission. 
Briahnna et al came to help unpack!!  Isn't Elias sweet to push his sister in the swing?  
Scott and Eva were at school,  but these girl got to chat!! 
Then they noticed the grapes!! 
So tasty and pretty. 
I had a date for junking and lunch with Wendy. We started the day with a trip to Dear Lizzie!  While in Highland I dropped off Robin's birthday gift, but she was out and about! 
Here's Wendy checking out the cute but spendy clothes. 
That night, while Dad was serving at the temple, I got to go to dinner with J Scott and his family!!  Happy fourteenth birthday Scott!! (Photo credit Nell) 
On Wednesday we got carpet on the stairs to the attic, in the library, 
In the family room and in the bedroom of the apartment.  It took all day!! 

I managed a couple of hours at the antique mall redoing the front display. 
On Thursday I walked with Ginny. Loved this kitchen utensil whirley gig we walked by. 
I'm also loving the style this young lady sports!! 

Then I was off to work where I hauled the old green cupboard from the family room to sell.  It was a huge amount of work rearranging to make it work. 
That night I had book club and Ann had us help her with a project she's doing for a Wood Badge training.
The book we read was All The Light We Cannot See  and it's set in Germany and France, so Ann made us crepes. Yum.  (Photo credit Ann)

On Friday I met up with Joyce to celebrate her birthday a couple of weeks late. We junked and had lunch together. Good times. 

That night we met up with the Crumps for dinner at Mi Rancherito. It was fun to hear about their time back in New York doing the pageant.  
Then Saturday it was Dad's last work Lagoon day with the Grands ...

Zach and Dad. 
We met up with these guys too!! 
Zach and Nenna.  
Reagan and Adi 
Can you see that Darby joined us too!! 


I think everyone had fun, but poor Nenna got sick at the very end of the day. 
I liked this room in one of the museums in Pioneer Village there, because this desk of Brigham Young's is very sililiar to my latest find and also because this painting of Brigham Young is the one I had my cousin Debbie use as a base for the portrait she did of Dad that hangs over the mantel in the library. 
That evening it was off to Ryan and Tia's reception. 
Here's Barb and Randy introducing  the brides parents. 
Dad and Jeff made up the final shift serving ice cream. (Photo credits: Robin) 
Sunday before church it was very gratifying to hear Trevor playing the piano, very well. 
After church I made long rice to take to Becca's for family dinner.  She'd had a hankering and a to was her birthday. Brady looked up a recipe and made kualoa pork!  It was also Ben's birthday and Davin's was Friday!! 


Here's the birthday people including Scott. Since his birthday was Tuesday!!  (Photo credit: Dad)

  1. That's got to be the most INTENSE teeth cleaning I have ever seen! Looks more like oral surgery!
