Took Gram D on a little FHE picnic up the canyon. Roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. We had a great time. Cory did a lesson on the First Vision.
Oh yeah! Granny likes her roasted marshmallowsTUESDAY- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - - - -
Blakers last game. He was super excited about the participation medal he received!AND
Court of Honor for Mason. He earned another 10 Merit Badges. He currently only has 2 required MB left to earn (camping, which he has just a few more campouts to attend & hiking). Then he will be doing his Eagle Scout project. Once that's completed he will have enough extra MB for 2 palms. GO MASON!
Spent all morning baking double batch of Chocolate Chip cookies, homemade Oreos, and Cinnamon Rolls for the Estate Sale. Kelsey off to her 4-hour Stadium of Fire practice, Doctors appointment, and back up to Midway getting home around Midnight.
This is how most of us looked from 2:00 on after getting up to place flags at 6:00, BYC at 9:00, Fast Offerings at 9:30. Getting 5 kids and myself dressed and ready for church without a husband to help, and doing the Ward Newsletter in between. (Can't believe we made it to church on time!)

Up and off to Midway for the Estate Sale at 5:45 am. Grandma came over to watch kids and take Kelsey to another Stadium of Fire practice this time at 7:00 am. Estate Sale went good made $1000 today. 4:00 home and off to help with Kelsey's dress rehersal. She did great especially after spending ALL DAY in the hot hot sun (98 degrees today), sunburned ears and thighs, and NO SLEEP. The dress rehersal was held in the Stadium and was for the whole show. We didn't buy tickets (because after spending $200 for Kelsey to dance in the show, there was no way to buy $35+ tickets) so I was so glad to get to go to this. Kelsey is a great dancer with some amazing talent. Home at 11:30 pm

5:00 am came way to early this morning. Off the help at the Estate Sale. Kelsey and boyz spent the night last night at Grandma's to get in a few extra hours of sleep. Up at 7:00 am. Kelsey back to Lavel Edwards Staduim by 7:45. Pick up Kelsey, drop of Gram car (don't ask) go home, take nap, get Kelsey dressed and off by 5:00 pm, pick up Gram D, drop her and Mason off at the Stadium of Fire (lucky ducks), fight our way back through traffic and finally to the Fireworks party at Rachael's parent's.
No rest for the weary. . . .after homemade root beer and ice cream, there's just enough time to prepare for the Young Women's lesson I have to teach tomorrow before it's FIREWORKS TIME.
