Mom's Turn

Tanner went to a fireside, so I suppose I must write myself. It's a little safer that way anyway. Reid says he'll help me. We had a fun week. Sunday Chad's mom brought Caleb and Felicity (DeeAnna's kids) to stay for a couple days. It was a lot of fun. The neatest part for me was to watch my boys follow Caleb (4) around everywhere. I wonder if he wished for space. I never even had to worry what he was doing. Monday I took them on a picnic at the park. It was all fun till someone decided to take Rylee's toys home with them. There were a couple very sad girls. Felicity thought we should call the police, and maybe they forgot Jesus. They wanted to put posters all over town, on every tree so someone will see them and bring her toys back. I didn't do that, but to appease them I did put a couple up at the park. Strange thing is, nobody called. At least Ry knows I made an effort. They were here till Tuesday afternoon when Chad's mom took them to Richfield. Jacob and Rylee also went with them. It was so quiet here, we went from 7 kids to 2. (Reid went on a sleepover) Tuesday night Blake had a sunday school party and they ended up going on the VIP tour at the temple. I am so jealous! I have yet to see inside. Melissa and I are going to sneak in Tuesday, I think. Wednesday was pretty quiet. Reid was a little lonely. Chad, Tanner, and Blake had YCC practice (for temple program) so Reid and I went for a bike ride then to get ice cream. Jacob and Ry came home Thursday. Grandma says she was so glad Jacob went, he was a big help. He got to drive Grandpa's new Tundra. Didn't even crash it. He thought you could stop by letting off the gas pedal, though. Good thing he has a few years till he can really start driving. We went to Richfield last night for Taylor's birthday. Fun week. I am loving this summer! We spend a lot of time playing together, lots more than last year anyway. It will be hard to have them all go back to school. We figured out there are only 6 weeks left of vacation. Sad day. Reid says: "I went to a party and slept on a trampoline. I went to bed at midnight. I had scouts and made a pinewood derby car stand. I went to Kimberly nursery and painted a frog. I ate lots of sugar snap peas. I got a piece of wood in my toe. I went to a park. That's all I can think of. giggle. the end. Ok, you can stop writing now...heehmmm giggle." Rylee says: "Um my brothers are funny. I'm having fun here. I like our church. I have bestest teachers. I wrote a letter to Taylor in my class. I got a bug bite and had to eat yucky medicine but it's feeling better. I'm silly all the time. I miss you guys." Jacob says: mom decided to not quote Jacob completely. (He hurt his back side while swimming) UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH. Well, enough from us. Hope you all are doing great, and have an awesome week.
