Monday...For FHE Ruthie did our lesson about prayer. We painted prayer rocks. The blue and red bulls eye is Isaac's, the purple and gold is Daniel's, the golden strawberry is mine, the one under that is Sam's and the all purple is Ruthie's.
Tuesday...We got a call at 6 am from my dad saying Rebecca had died just an hour earlier. It was a long day. Tuesday night was our Primary Noisy Party. Those are the pinatas and balloons (in the black bags) and extra candy that didn't fit in the pinatas. The kids had a blast and I felt really good after the adrenaline rush.
Wednesday...I took the kids to see G Force and right after we got home these beautiful flowers arrived. My excellent friend Amie sent them to me. Aren't they beautiful?! Thanks again, Amie!
Thursday...Back to school night for the kids. There is something exciting about going back to school. I just don't know what it is! Ha ha. My kids have excellent teachers this year. Mindy, Rebecca's mommy, asked me to get hankies for Rebecca's great grandmas, grandmas and aunts. I found these beautiful crocheted hankies at White Elegance. I then scrambled to find someone to embroider an R on each of them. My fantastic friend Jen said she would do it! She even did Rebecca's name and a flower on Mindy's hankie. Aren't they beautiful?! Thanks again, Jen!!!
Friday...I have been harassing my kids with ketchup. They love to eat chickens for breakfast...I figure they are getting protein and fat. A great way to start the day. Usually I just do a dab of ketchup. Now I do their name, initial, happy face, heart, etc. They are thoroughly disgusted with my actions! I don't care.
Saturday...Poppy's Hike. Alex, my brother and Rebecca's daddy, wanted to still do the hike. (He's the one with Josh, in the white t-shirt and what looks like a straw hat) They had tons of fun hiking up Donut Falls. Then we always go to McDonald's and my dad buys everyone lunch. We broke the McDonald's. They don't like us.
Sunday...It's only 10 am and we don't have to go to church. (Temple Dedication) So the kids and dad had a fight. Awesome. We still need to get everyone spiffed up for the funeral Monday and the first day of school Tuesday. We will do Father's Blessings this afternoon...a tradition in our home at the beginning of every school year.
Have An Awesome Week!

The primary party was terrific, my kids were so excited about it that we postponed a trip to Lava hotsprings so they wouldn't miss it.
The hankies look great! Thanks to your friend Jen for doing them!
I am worn out looking at your week! Whew! Busy family. My heart just aches for Rebecca's family... you all will be in my thoughts tomorrow.
On a lighter note- Lisa made your sloppy joes and they were delicious. The cool thing is that I HATE sloppy joes (well the manwich kind). Nice recipe!
I'm impressed how you get so much in a week. Hope everything runs well this week with your emotional start to it. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
It was an honor to embroider the hankies for your family.
You always amaze me with how much you accomplish and with a genuine smile on your face!
