A busy week that is full of parties

By -

 The game day at Caitlin and Sal's house went well. We played a few games and talked a little bit about their investments and about how we are doing right now

This past week the three oldest kids went to acting class every day. The class is going to be two weeks long. They are enjoying it a lot, and have learned a lot of things so far.

They will be putting on a play next Friday and we are excited to see it!

On Tuesday Grandma Julie took Alison and kids to see the Faeries at Gardner village. Most of the kids had a good time when there.

On Wednesday we had a Chemistry activity dudes activity. During which we had the kids do some titrations and neutralized the substances. The kids seemed to enjoy it mostly.

Thursday we celebrated Boo's birthday. She got burritos from the local 'Betos' restaurant, and we also made her a chocolate cake. Her favorite toy was a dolly she got with a swimsuit.

Friday we celebrated Timmy's birthday because he didn't want it to be on Father's Day. He got a bunch of video games, some toys from his siblings and also a Lego dragon. He has enjoyed all of them at various times. He also got snorkel stuff

On Friday night we went to Indianapolis Jones at the off Broadway theater. We all enjoyed it and the players appreciated how vocal the audience was. The acting was good and the jokes were funny. Timmy and Boo both went up and had people sing happy birthday to them.

Saturday Mike rented a power washer from Home Depot and power washed the shed to clean off as much paint as would easily come off. We haven't painted it yet, but it is getting much closer.

Saturday night Mike was invited to a game night at Chauncey's house. They played video games and had a fun time. Mike got home late since it ended about 9:30.

Throughout the week we also got the roof of the shed put on, so after we paint it we can work on the interior.

Over all it was a very busy week, but was also a good week.

This week we have been busily trying to get ready for christmas. We have all of the presents that we need and Alison did all of the shopping, so really we're pretty close now. On Wednesday Mike was able to use some volunteer time off to go to The cannery at welfare square and help them can applesauce. He ended up canning about 15,000 pounds of applesauce. It was good, and he appreciates that guys work pays him for it. On Wednesday we all went to the church because the activity dudes and young women (and men) were having a caroling activity. We had a fun time going around and singing and then ate cookies and drink hot taco after. Gideon and Elsa ended up going home early with Alison. Thursday after dropping the kids off at Grandma Julie's house Alison went all over the entire valley to every store that exists in order to buy things in preparation for Christmas. (Alison wants me to add that it was only actually four stores.) Despite having gone everywhere she was still unable to ...

The start of morels - 2018

Another week has passed. Alison got a new bike this week. She is trying to figure out how to bike around four kids, and was hoping that having a bike with a higher seat would allow her to attach a trail-a-bike to it, which would mean that she could carry two kids along behind her on her bike. It doesn't seem like it is going to work, however, and she might end up just hauling the kids in the bike trailer like in previous years. Wednesday was Rea's date night. She chose to have a fire, read books, and have a dessert. It was fun. This week Rea and Sara went to theater camp to prepare for a play that they put on on Saturday. It was The ugly duckling. They said their lines clearly, and spoke toward the audience most of the time. They did very well. At the same time, Alison, Timmy, and Gideon waited outside for them, and got good naps. Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sheila came over to Utah this week, so we were able to spend some time with them on Friday and Saturday. We watc...

In which we blacken someone's name

Last Sunday after we wrote our blog post Rea received her patriarchal blessing. The patriarch was not far away from our home, and she received a nice blessing. The patriarch's wife acted as a stenographer, and they delivered a text version of it to our house a few days ago, so she now can read it when she wants to. The Dalyias came over on Monday and the kids all played. They had a lot of fun and apparently ate a lot of mints as well. Wednesday was a very busy day. In the morning Alison and the kids went to the Poulson's house and then Mike took Sara to her acting class. Next, Rea went to the temple open house, and Alison took the kids to her presidency meeting with her, and then Mike took Sara back to her activity and grabbed the kids. Here's hoping that we can avoid that busy a day for at least a few weeks. Gideon had a lot of fun at Sullivan's birthday party on Thursday. They jumped on a trampoline, ate pie, played a lot of games, and ran around, so it sounds like it...
