Just a quick reminder, this blog has turned into a thought journal. May not be the most exciting thing for other people to read, but it is helping me be better about recording things.
Sunday we were able to get out the door and get parents church in Pleasant Grove early. We were even the first ones there! Even though we are about 10 minutes early, their chapel was already pretty full and we weren't able to save many seats. Bryan and My we're not too far behind us. The blessing was lovely and sacrament was very nice. Susan flew in Saturday evening and was also able to be there. After church, we owe it back to errands house, including the whole Robinson clan. I had muffins and juice and fruit and Raible to visit for a while. We put the median and little kids down for a nap after taking several pictures. As usual, trying to put pictures together with so many small children was somewhat like herding cats. I haven't seen them yet, but I'm sure there are some pretty darn funny pictures!
It really was a very nice day. It was nice having some other people around you are interested in holding babies so I could do something wild like, go to the bathroom without listening to a baby cry. The babies have hit another growth spurt and ate and ate and ate and ate all day. Craig tells me a full asleep while feeding one of the babies. I don't know who I was feeding or when I fell asleep but I just know I felt better when I woke up! because we have so many birthdays in August, that evening we celebrated dad's and Mys birthday. Of course in true Nasson style, we had amazing delicious grilled salmon, bugs and rice, Erins green beans and bacon, steamed broccoli, some delicious bread, fruit, and yummy lemonade. For dessert, Erin and mom made dad a German chocolate cake complete with coconut, and a big cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Both were delicious of course!
During the day, Craig was able to sit down and work on some family history things with dad and aunt Susan. There's been some mystery surrounding my grandpas mom and her story. She was adopted as a baby and has two names. It would seem they were able to clear up some of that as well as learn about and record some other things about dad's family. I hope that next time they are visiting, which will be in October, we can do some more and maybe even find a few more names to take to the temple.
We've had an off a lot of thunderstorms the last several days. It was pretty exciting driving home Sunday night seeing all of the lightning hearing the thunder. We got home we had several storms that were right over us. Lots of windows rattling thunder in the sky lighting lightning.
Mom, dad, and Andrew, left Monday. We decided we should go back to Pleasant Grove to say goodbye to them on Monday. Mondays are usually busy day and yesterday was really no different. So we went up to say goodbye and spend a few more minutes with the family. We left errands at about 1230 and headed to Sophie's preschool open house in Springville. We found out the daughter of a couple of my friends is going to be in her class. Sophie will be starting preschool tomorrow Wednesday with two friends. She is extremely excited to be going to school! After the open house, we hurried home to try to let the gross rest a little before we had to go to colorguard. We were home for a grand total of 55 minutes before we needed to leave. In that time the girls were able to get a snack and lay down and rest while they watch Daniel Tiger and I was able to get the rest of the card T-shirts iron ons finished. Rehearsal went fairly well. We need to be holding the students more responsible but they are getting better every day. Sophie and Olivia were so exhausted that Olivia crashed on the blanket in the middle of rehearsal!
I had a follow-up doctor appointment in Provo late last night and so we went straight from colorguard there. Craig was thrilled, as that meant he got to have "taco truck "for dinner. The taco truck is actually a freestanding little walk up restaurant that sells amazing Mexican food.
It's now 822 Tuesday morning, the big girls are up, babies have been eating while I've been recording this, Craig is walking to his car at the high school, and we have a little friend coming over to play in about 45 minutes. Tootles!
