ERIKA LACROSSE
Erika did it! She decided to play Lacrosse! I think she's really going to enjoy it. Her coach is already very impressed with how good she is and she's reached her goal of becoming a "Swing player". So that's fun. We're excited for a fun season! 3-5-25
QUAD SHOWER
It came! This was a much-anticipated event... lots of fun drama... and we were excited for Kelly and Devan to have their moment. It ended up being so cute! Waffles with all the toppings. A cute flower buffet to create your own bouquets. Fun games and visiting. And lots of gifts! Fun stuff. 3-8-25
CHARITY'S 23rd BIRTHDAY!
Charity chose Texas Roadhouse for her birthday party and since the Layton one was packed, we made everyone go down to the Bountiful one. Unfortunately, it was just as packed! We sat there for about an hour and a half. It wasn't anyone's favorite to wait, but we did get to chat a little. We got to have Steve there for a little bit, but again, with the wait, it was too much. Jack also met his match, and really wasn't happy for a lot of it. But we loved celebrating Charity and having that time for her. They finally brought my food while I was out getting Molly at her friend's birthday party and they also sang to Charity, so that was good. Good times. 3-8-25
WARD CONFERENCE
Martha was out of town this week for our Country Lane Ward Conference meeting, so I did her part. It was a little crazy. I was SO nervous. But I think it went okay. I'm no Martha, but I think it passed. I hope it wasn't too bad. 3-9-25
ERIKA'S BASKETBALL TEAM BANQUET
Erika struggled with where to be that night, with a lacrosse game on top of it. But she made it to the banquet and got her special blanket and some recognition for the fun season. She is going to miss Christine and Bree. But what a great season!! They did so well! 3-13-25
PRESIDENTS DINNER
We had our dinner with all the YW Presidents. Martha did all the work picking up the food from zupas which was nice. I showed up late because I had Erika's Basketball Team Banquet. It was a good little meeting. I've got to get myself in a place where I can listen and not think about what I want. There are some opinions I don't agree with and the misinterpretation of the Worldwide Broadcast with Emily Freeman is crazy. This will be an interesting calling I think. We'll see how it goes. 3-13-25
PINEWOOD DERBY
Molly, with activity day girls and boys, got to participate in a Pinewood Derby :). These are always so fun and get so many in the ward to come out. Molly's Snickers candy bar was so cute and did pretty well on the track too!! So fun! 3-14-25
KELLY'S FRIEND SHOWER- TANGLED THEME
Mine and Charity's hard work and planning finally game to fruition Saturday! We threw Kelly's friend shower. It took a little preparation but was pretty easy to pull off. She had a really good turn out and it was really fun to see who came. SO many friends. She really does have a lot of support in life. Makes me happy for her. We had a lot of fun with the question game Charity made and everyone put advice on wooden hearts for the picture frame. We ate soups (not hazelnut, but that's okay), pineapple, purple grapes, braid breadsticks, purple drink. It was so fun! We got these cute little purple votive candle holders, with candles and then a little flower in each as centerpieces. Along wtih a little printout of their timeline that I made on Canva and put in the little wire stands I made. She got lots of gifts and had a lot of fun. The clean up was pretty quick- we had a lot of help from bridesmaids and Claire :). It was so fun that Claire came. She helped us clean up and then showed us some of her published books she's been making. Then she actually came with me to take pictures of Noah's Prom group and Chick-fil-a after!! So much fun!! She's the best! 3-15-25
NOAH'S PROM PICTURES
I had so much fun doing pictures for Noah! Claire came which was so fun! She seemed stunned by how not modest the girls' dresses were. But we had so much fun posing them and getting some fun pictures. Noah is nice to let me do that :). I think he had a fun time at Prom. He seemed happy about it. 3-15-25
ST PATRICK'S DAY
I didn't get to do everything I'd planned for this day, this year, but it was still wonderful :). We had green pancakes, I left little gifts of green things for the kids by their beds. The leprechauns left us a treasure hunt that actually required some thinking this year. Still fun. Although, we have yet to escape the saddies. Maybe one day. The pot of gold did not disappoint! Such a fun day! 3-17-25
JACK ENDOSCOPY
Jack and I were not looking forward to this day. Anxious to hear whether he had celiac or not though. Everything went really well though. As good as we could expect. It felt pretty early in the morning, we were up at Primary Children's, but we were able to check in, sit and relax in the waiting room, and then they called him back, got him all set up with the anesthesiologist, and off they went. I really wish they would just let me stay in the same room, but they never do. So dumb. But I did get to listen to The Saints book while I was there. Got through almost a whole volume. Jack did awesome! Coming out of the anesthesia was a trip :). He was funny. But pretty quickly. Then we headed home. We found out almost a week later that he did in fact have Celiac disease. Kinda crazy. One more thing to add to Jack's list. He's done so well and is handling it really well so far. 3-21-25
BRENCHLEY SHOWER
This ended up being a really fun, chill shower. We got to meet some of Devan's extended family and stood and talked for a bit. Then got some food, played a few games and got to hear Kelly's answers about their dating and engagement, that was fun. It was a fun time- everyone was really welcoming and fun to be with. She got good and spoiled with gifts! So fun though!! We're getting closer! 3-22-25
DINNER WITH CLAIRE
We met up at our usual place- Sawadee Thai I think it's called. We had fun talking. It is always good to visit with Claire. Hopefully we get to meet her puppy when she gets home from Georgia. 3-227-25
WARD SHOWER
Brooke Desmond was so sweet to offer to throw a shower for Kelly. Christie May helped her. They invited the entire ward! I thought she had a really great turnout to this one. Christie went all out on the gluten free stuff for Kelly which was so nice of her. We had a lot of fun. It was fun to be with everyone and get to chat with a lot of people. I loved that Aubrey McColley and Debbie came! So fun. 3-29-25
