“Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it;
and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.”

First visitors of the summer

This weekend we had visitors.
I hope they didn't catch the cold that has swept through, including fevers, cough, and sore throat. Ed described a sore throat as his "teeth" hurting. 

They came to attend a professional conference, getaway, visit other local friends, see where we live, and let cousins play. All of those were accomplished. 
We also took them to Old Town, but there happened to be a large motorcycle rally, so not really our crowd. After "Freakshow Tattoos & Body Piercing" handed my hubby a business card, we decided we weren't going to stay long.
We took them to Woolly Mammoth Park, showed them the temple site, and opening day at the pool. They also saw some great things in the city to the south, which we did not join due to unseasonably high fevers. 
We also spent time sewing, cooking, and laughing at memories and each other. The men went running up high hills early in the morning and joked about how they were going to go running twice that day. (They didn't). We almost fit around one table, but decided to let two children at a time have a break from the crowd.





 Thank you for visiting, see you later this summer!!!!

Wacky hair

I found this wacky hair look on a blog I read . . . . we wanted to test it out.


can you spot the animal descending the staircase?

pictured with brother for comparison . . . . so you see how tall it really is


I hope I can remember it for the next wacky hair day. . . . .. . . .the trick is using an empty toilet tissue roll. It works.

MVP

Another sports season concluded today . . . . spring flag football is over. This season we had a great coach who really knew how to win games. He was also very good at encouraging boys. Andrew improved a lot this season and scored several touchdowns and extra points. (He has a complete tally in his personal journal). He got to play running back, and told his coach in the thank you note that it was a blast.

After the game was over, his coach told them in the huddle that if he had to choose an MVP, it would be Andrew. He appreciated his hard work, attitude, never got down on himself or others if he/they made mistakes, he earned it for work on and off the field.
