Today is saturday and it has been a pretty uneventful day. Chris got up early to take Stephen to his driving class. I fed the animals for Chris (ugh the big goat stinks!!) I worked on my lesson for YW tomorrow, I'm teaching on repentance. We had the kids help pick up weeds in the yard and we tidied the house. Kyle and Chloe had their friends Blake and Maya come over to play. Sydney was home all day (yeah) and Zach went to Nathan Merrills to swim. Tonight we had our good friends Kevin and Rees Wiscombe come over to play the farming game. We used to play in Utah in 1995-1996. It was so fun to do it again. Sydney is now at the Harry Potter #7 part 2 movie with Ashley and Chelsey. Good day altogether, tomorrow is sunday I love sundays.

Today was a good day. Sydney got home from Utah last night she did so good on the flight by herself. She had alot of fun and really enjoyed her trip. She hung out with Taylor and other friends and her cousin Whitney one day too. I'm glad she was able to go and have fun. I missed her alot. Today she went to hang out with Ashlyn and the rest of us were at home just relaxing. i've been feeling sick so it was nice to be here. I got some groceries and then tonight we went to dinner with kyle and chloe and Sylvia, Stephen and Naomi and Bro. Niemann. It was fun just to eat and relax and spend time with her and her sweet kids. Zach went to the movie with some friends. For YW this week we went to eat at Joe's Farm Grill it was fun to just talk and enjoy each other's company.

This week has been busy. We have been school shopping for Kyle and Chloe and thank goodness we didn't have to buy too much. Jillian has supplied Chloe with alot of clothes and so she got 1 new outfit, tennis shoes, undies, backpack and school supplies. Kyle got some new shorts and shirts, undies and supplies. Zach and Sydney's supplies will have to wait until we know exactly what they need. I love school shopping and the smell of the new supplies (wierd I know). Sydney has been gone to Utah and has had fun with G&G Brereton and Taylor H. They went to see Grandpa Sackley grave and to temple square on sunday. THey have been shopping, getting nails done, and hanging out. She comes home tomorrow night I've missed her. Salviah kids Stephen and Naomi are staying with us for a few days this week I hope I can entertain them and feed them good enough. They are so sweet and I'm so glad they are here. I've been sick since yesterday with a sore throat and runny nose I hate being sick especially when I need to entertain.

Summer is flying by!!

Summer is coming to an end well not really it just means that summer for the kids is coming to an end. School starts 2 weeks from monday! It's been a fun last few weeks. Zach started All-star baseball and they have lost 2 games and won 1. Not a super season but a good learning experience. Jessie and her 4 kids came to visit us. We swam alot, watched movies, went to see Despicable Me, and Cars 2. It was just just to hang out and talk and let the kids play. We went out to dinner one night at Garcia's with Christ Hatch & Cory and Ashley McKinnon. One of the nights that I was at Zach's game, Jessie stayed home with all the kids. She was so sweet and totally cleaned the entire house and then the biggest Haboob hit the phoenix area. It was a massive dust storm that lasted over an hour!! We had so much dust in the house all that she had cleaned had to be cleaned again the next day. It was super crazy it was so dark at times that we all had to drive with our hazard lights on. It was the worst dust storm I've seen since I've lived in AZ.

Jessie went home on 7/7/11 she also took Sydney with her so she could spend some time with G&G Brereton and see Taylor Heyman of course. I think she is having fun. Today is saturday and I did some school shopping with Zach and Kyle and Chloe are playing at Blake and Maya's house and Chris went down to the farm. Tonight we have another game for Zach and then tomorrow is sunday and another discussion with Bryan Weber. We also had an informal discussion with Summer Kelly on thursday it went well, I know she felt the spirit but she is in a place when her parents are pulling her in opposite directions. It is hard for her. I hope she continues to come. Bye for now.
