wow what a week

        This last week went by so quickly that I could hardly keep up . Last Sunday we had such a wonderful time at the baby blessing. I kept losing and forgetting my camera so I didn't get any good shots of the baby, this really bugged me, But I did have plenty of food and goodies made so I hope that made up for it. William and Natalie left us on Monday and took Tishel with them. Boy did the house get quiet! on Tuesday we had 4H sign ups. We are doing a leather craft class this year, I had 4 children sign up and I bought 5 kits just in case. I think we are going to have a lot of fun. On wednesday I vegitated, and on Thursday we went to my brother-in-laws funeral. I was so sad, and my sister-in-law was being so strong . It was heart wrenching. Friday was a very long day we left the house at around 9 to drive to Sandy. We stopped in Mt.pleasant to pick up Olivia. We had a bit of trouble finding her. We found her whole family tho! They finally we got her and we were off again. We had dinner at Aunt Dana's, then we went swimming at her condo. It was fun. When we got done, Seth said Robert had called and would be at Dana's when we got there . Robert was on his way to Enoc to get a car to make into a demolition derby car. Sounds fun to me! Saturday was an unbelievable day . We got up at 4:15am,  took Olivia, Seth, Debbie, and  Grandma to the airport. They were going Nauvoo. They had quite a time with plane problems, ended up in Nebraska, and drove to Aunt Eunice's house. Meawhile, we got in the car after dropping them off, and drove down to St George for the Lincoln Ward reunion (this is the ward Papi grew up in. It was very small and they really knew each other well. A lot of them live in Utah now so they get together once a year ) . We were in no hurry to leave and stayed till around six then picked up some plants at Uncle Raymond's house and headed home. We got to the rest stop just past parrowan before the turn off to bear valley, and there was a Spanish speaking family of 8 who's car had broken down. They were returning from a funeral in LA. and trying to get to Denver. We stayed with them while they got the tow truck, and since the tow truck would only take four people, we took the others back to Ceder city. By that time it was 11 pm. They offered to get us a hotel, but I needed to be home to teach today in R.S. so we left. We got home about1:00 am so we were up 21 hours yesterday! we slept later than usual but made it to church on time .






So that has been my week . Joys, Sorrows, Celebrations , and a very empty house with just Kieora and Dax, Today LuLu (sorry I'm supposed to say Lucia) has come to visit from the RR . So its not so quiet now!!!
