I got to watch Parker and Macie while Mya went to Back to School Night with her mom. I love these little's. On Sunday Trichelle gave Parker this cute shirt that is absolutely perfect for him. It says: Always be yourself UNLESS you can be BATMAN then always be Batman! For months Parker has called himself Batman...that's his name and he's stickin to it! So a perfect gift for him. I believe they gave Mya a necklace with an "M" which was little and cute just like her! I love how much Macie smiles now and how she wiggles her little wrists....oh they make me smile. I was talking to Mya went she got back and my eyes filled with tears. It's so strange having my grands be so big. Ivy is going into 4th grade, Mya and Kamryn in 1st and Zaden in Kindergarten. Parker gets to go to preschool. So strange since I remember so well when my kids were that age.
***My dad was in the hospital last week but has moved to a rehab center. (the same one my mom went to after her knee surgery) I heard he is doing better and actually drinking water. I'm still going to get a picture of him drinking water since I couldn't remember ever seeing him drink water.

***I met some Bonneville Buds for dinner on Tuesday night. It was so nice visiting with these ladies. I look at them and see such beauty. Having only four of us was kind of nice because everyone was able to add to the conversation and did. It's kind of funny that Becky, Lynn and I all have younger kids and the same kind of problems with them. I think it's because they are boys and all their names start with "J". I love staying connected with childhood friends....it's so much fun!
***I got to sub the last day of the summer league. I love the last day because it's always so much fun. The games are different and fun. The first game if you threw one ball and if you got an even amount of pins you automatically got a strike. If you left an odd number of pins you got a spare. It was fun and my score was good. There were also colored pins and if you left one you had to pay a quarter to a bank with a balloon the same color as the pin. I ended up paying one quarter the last frame. The 2nd game was a normal game however if you got a strike or spare you got to play a memory game that had prizes. I won two prizes. I also had a very good game and took a picture to prove that I really can bowl. (for my boys) The 3rd game if you got 7 pins your first ball it was considered a strike. I never got seven so the strikes I showed were real. On the 3rd game if there was a colored pin for the head pin and you got a real strike you got to take a bank with the same color of balloon. My team never had a colored head pin to even try for a bank. (I've won them in previous years) On the summer league they serve lunch. This year the lunches were amazing! The gal that did them knows how to cook and went all out. She even decorated the serving tables with bright flowers every week. In other years the food was limited and there was never left overs. This year you could take what you wanted and there was always left overs. This gal was awesome! I'm glad I got to add to the tip envelope for her since I didn't have to pay to play this summer. Joy is the lady in the picture with me. Joy is so much fun just like the other ladies....I love them all!
***I went and checked on my dad. He is in a rehab center and going great. I had to get a picture of him drinking water since he seldom does. I told him that he really needs to drink water every day even if he doesn't like it. His body needs pure water to keep it working right. He's a funny guy. My sister was there when I got there and my mom came before I left so we all had a fun visit.
***Friday Larry and I went to the Temple. We got out at 9:30 and it looked about like this picture. The Logan Temple is so beautiful...I love it. Even though we had a few sandwiches on our way to the Temple Larry wanted to stop and get something more and so I agreed. We just stopped at a Burger King and to my surprise we sat and ate our order. Larry then stopped and filled up with gas which was getting low. It's a good thing we did both these things. There were a few HUGE boulders that had slid in the Canyon and it was closed. We had to take an alternate route which took us 45 minutes longer to get home. (I was so tired) Had we not stopped for food or gas there is a really good chance we would have been in the canyon when the slide happened. I totally believe it was an answer to our prayers to be delayed. I had even prayed on our way up that we would be safe this night as we all traveled in the storm. (we were all safe) Prayer is a powerful thing!
***I was told that I light up a room when I walk in! ☺
