Showering Julie and Jordyn Jo


We had a Baby Shower for Julie and Jordyn today.  I went to her mom's earlier today while they were also showering her with gifts for Jordyn.  Might as well do two showers the same day. Julie said she liked it because then she only had to get ready once. (Kamryn couldn't believe Kevin was't coming to his daughters shower)  I am really excited to meet little Jordyn...so fun having grand babies.  
Julie invited me and her mom to be there when Jordyn makes her entrance into this world and I am really excited.  I have never watched a birth before and I am looking forward to it.  Life is such a miracle!
I am thankful for my friends and their support to me and my kids. They truly have my back.  This weekend was a busy weekend and many were not able to make it...I understand...but will say I was disappointed that I didn't hear from my mom or sister.  I have no idea where they were.  Oh well....life goes on. (I appreciate the calls or texts that let me know they wouldn't make it...that's thoughtful)

Julie is set and ready to welcome Miss Jordyn into this world.  She has everything she needs.  Julie is such a sweetie that she deserves to be spoiled and showered with love.  I am so excited for Kevin to get another little girl....he is such a good daddy.




Weekly Tidbits

*The boys took Larry and Gramps to dinner for Father's Day and so Kelsi, Kimi, and I went out too.  It was fun listening to Kimi.  Larry and I watched a movie with the kids after.  The kids enjoy us hanging out with them and staying up together.  They even talked us into playing the Wii the next night.  (I am not good at Mario Cart)

*Went with Larry to a little luncheon to send off Bruce and Diane Jardine on their mission. (Mission Presidents in California...can't remember the mission) I was hurrying because the kids took my car to seminary and forgot to hurry home. I was stopped by two trains and ended up asking the two cars behind me to back up so I could go around since the train stopped.  Good thing I went around because the train then started going the other way.  I reminded myself to laugh about it since there was nothing I could do to make the situation better.
*took the kids to see Heaven is for Real. We all loved it. Kimi talked a lot about it after and was feeling the spirit very strongly.  Heaven is for Real and Jesus loves us! Life goes on after this life!

*Larry was called to the High Council.....he is going to miss his primary class.  He loved teaching the eleven year olds.

*I have been subbing this summer for the Summer Bowling League. This week was crazy....my first game was a 144 which is just under my average which is 150. I was happy with that but my 2nd game was the worst I have bowled that I can remember. My first ball I would get 8 ... No kidding....I bet I got 8 on my first ball at least 7 out of 10 frames. Then my 2nd ball would get very close to the remaining pins but would miss or maybe hit one. I couldn't mark and didn't until the 10th frame when I finally picked up the 10 pin....that gave me one more ball and I threw a STRIKE! I ended with a 94! Wow....just Wow! It's not fun to sub when you bowl like a skunk. (Stinky) The last game was much better. I marked most frames and ended with a 187 ..... Almost double my 2nd game! I'm glad I ended good....much more fun!

*Larry mowed "I LOVE DAWN" in the lawn.  I heard him moving because I was in the front room reading.  I just thought he was mowing around the edges because  I didn't think he could have mowed the back yet.  I didn't think anything of it until I stood up and saw that the middle of the yard was mowed in spots...that's when I saw my name.  When I went outside to talk Larry I could see the rest.  Ahhh....How Do You Say I LOVE YOU?
*Got to play with the grands while Natalie went to the Dentist.  When Natalie came back I loved it when Mya said: "that wasn't long enough"  I love having my cute grands come and play.
*Tonya came and visited while I was cleaning for Julie's shower since she wouldn't be able to make it to the shower.  (her family had a family reunion that day)
