End of Soccer Camp

The kids learned so much at soccer camp and had a great time. I was grateful for Jann and several of my friends for taking the kids to and from camp while I was gone.

I love listening to their accents and its also pretty funny to watch Garen pick up his ball and run because he didn't want him to steal his ball!-

Sunday walk

We had a lovely Stake Conference weekend. We took a little window of opportunity between wind and rain and went on a nice Sunday walk. Maddie was ahead the whole time and rarely on the trail (she likes to make her own trails), Sophie tried desperately to catch up and then gave in and rode on Andy's shoulders, and Garen ran down a steep rocky hill faster than I ever thought possible and managed to keep his footing all to get away from a dog.

Some Favorite Moments Today

Garen sat on the counter this afternoon helping me make a cabbage, tomato soup. He helped measure everything and dump it all in. We laughed about silly things and talked about the Resurrection and Easter. When the food was all made he randomly came up to me and gave me a big old hug!

Garen's new favorite thing to do is get two totally different books and intertwine the pages then have me read it making a very silly mixed up story. I read him one today and neither of us could stop laughing. I love Garen's uncontrollable happy laugh!

At bedtime Sophie was in her crib and asked for a hug and a kiss, I gave her one then she said with a shy little smile "one more", I gave her one more and then she continued over and over again, "one more." Soon Maddie and Garen joined in on giving her hug after hug. I stepped back for a minute and took in the sweet mental picture of Maddie standing on the edge of the crib leaning over squeezing her little sister and Sophie softly patting Maddie on the back.

Today was a good day!

Weekend Stuff

This weekend was busy but nice family time. Friday there was no school so I took the Girl Scouts on a tour of Commerce Bank. (It's the tallest building in Rock Springs and it's only 4 floors) The girls had a wonderful time and I learned a ton about banks and money that I never knew!

After Girl Scouts I took Maddie and Garen and their friends Kamryn and Austin to the movie Hop. It was pretty cute. Then their friends came over to play for a bit.

Then we were off to Maddie's dress rehearsal for the Ice Skating show.

Saturday we got to sleep in a little then sell Girl Scout cookies while Andy went to his basketball game. From there I went straight to Green River to pick up my bountiful basket. I am loving these bountiful baskets! The fruit and veggies are so yummy and you get tons for the $15!

Then we had Maddie's Ice show (it will have it's own post coming up)

Sunday was also an eventful day because it was my last day as the Primary Secretary and my first day in Young Women's. I've had Primary callings for the last 8 years and haven't been in YW since I was 17 so this will be a new exciting challenge. I get to teach the laurels each Sunday! I will miss Primary very much! My kids didn't know what to do after church without me being right there in the primary room. Maybe I should not tell them where the YW room ,then they will have to run and find Andy after church! haha.
