Once again Mike was out of town all week. This week he was in Memphis Tennessee. He got to go on a tour of Graceland, Elvis’s mansion. He said it was pretty neat. He also got to go to several fun restaurants.
Those of us who remained at home Enjoyed having Nephi and Melanie with their sweet little Andersen and Grace, here with us for a few days.
Monday Michael had an orthodontist appt. again and finally got the appliance we’ve been going to all these appointments for. He also had a soccer game that night and while they didn’t play awesome, he reported having a fun time. We all went and cheered for him and had a fun time watching.
Tuesday after a full day of school, piano lessons, and sewing lessons, Aunnika and Catherine had activity days and Michael had soccer practice. Brittany and Allison held the fort down here at home.
Wednesday afternoon, Brittany had an oral surgery consult and he suggested that she get her wisdom teeth out so we set up the appointment for that and then got home in time to take Hans to his soccer practice. Brittany drove us there for her driving practice time and while Hans practiced soccer in the rain, Brittany practiced parking between cars. We set up camping chairs and cones all around a parking spot and she only “crashed” a few times. I was glad I didn’t have her practicing on real cars J. The oldest three all had youth activities that night and must have had a great time cuz when I went to pick them up they sure didn’t want to leave. By that time it was pouring rain so they asked me to crank up the music in the car and they danced in the rain with some friends. They were sure wet when they finally got in the car.
Thursday was a slow day. We just added Michael and Daniel’s soccer practices to the mix of the day. Brittany drove us in the van to Daniel’s practice. It was a VERY scary drive there on narrow winding roads so we took a different rout home and that was way better.
Friday Mike got home so I went and picked him up and once again we sat in traffic forever and then went grocery shopping again. When we got home, we got daddy and the boys packed up and they headed out for a father and sons campout. I think the little boys favorite part was the cannon that Andrew Fellows took up. They loved seeing that fired off. They also report having met a man that is 100 years old and only looks about 40! Here at home the little girls watched “Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses” and the big girls and I watched “The Vow” . Definitely a girl night here.
Saturday morning I took Brittany and Allison and Jenna Walker to the church to clean for the Young Women’s cleaning assignment. Only two other girls showed up and no leaders! After dropping them off, I got everyone else that was left here and went and picked up Daniel from the campout and took him to his soccer game. Mike took Hans to his soccer game a little while later. Daniel scored the first goal for his team and they won umpthing to 3. We then went and joined the others at Hans’s game. He also scored a goal for his team and they won 6 to 3. We came home and did a little cleaning up and went and got some stuff for Brittany’s prom hair. Mike took Allison and several friends to a stake youth activity. We then took several kids and went to Michael’s soccer game. This game was much more fun than Monday’s and his team won. We hurried home and I got to make a hair clip for Brittany and then did her hair for prom and got her all dressed up. She was so so beautiful! Allison went to “Avengers” with some friends while Mike and I went out on our date and Michael babysat here at home. Brittany finally got home glowing. She had such a wonderful time. And then we all went to bed!
