Lyd's Birthday Pool

We had a terrible time trying to find a pool for her to buy! 

Cute Hippo!!

Good-bye

We got to take Elder Godfrey to dinner and say bye! He is heading home to Logan!

Trying to get to dinner on time was crazy! We were taking a load of boxes and stuff to the unit, the boys had piano, Trent had b-ball camp at LHS and we were trying to deliver a b-day gift to Sister Hollingsworth! It was wild, I ended up putting on hot melted make-up and Lydia and I laughed very hard!! At one point we had room for 1 person in the entire car!

Bishop's Pool

Trent cleans the Bishop's pool. Lydia accidentally fell in! We were cracking up. Right after she said, "Please don't tell the Bishop, I hope he is not peeking out of his window!"

The Bishop came walking out with a towel and said, "I just got home from Houston and was peeking out of my window and thought you may need a towel!" HAHAHA!!

Still Moving

We went between Quick Fort and Ruthie Run all week finishing the move.  Boxes were all around the kitchen counters. The boys were wiping out the cupboards for me with Clorox Wipes. They bumped a box on the stovetop and turned the burner on. Electric oven. They were yelling at me, we had had a long week, I had said don't yell at me come find me! Then they yelled fire! I ran downstairs, slid the box, turned off the burner, yelled to open the back door, picked up the big box, it was on fire, I could feel the heat, I turned it, felt hot falling on my feet, there were flames, headed outside hoping not to catch the couch on fire on my way by, got outside and dropped it. The boys got big cups and put the fire out. I checked my clothing (planning to stop drop and roll on the digusting grass if I needed to, we hadn't mowed yet and the yard seemed nasty) I was not on fire. Lydia was on the front porch scared, but smart of her!  I ran back in to check the other side, the box on the other side of the cooktop was just starting to burn, I grabbed it and headed outside. Did not see flames until I was by the couch. Boys put it out and the kindling on the floor in front of the stove.  Turns out I broke my crockpot. But the house did not burn:-))

Storage unit! This unit saved us for this move!!

Lydia

-Sitting in the bathroom figuring something out with her fingers and numbers, she said, "Mom, I just did something mathy!"
-I said, "Lydia you are a better dancer than me." She said, "Yeah, WAY better!"
-Driving down 13th East with Grandma Gayle in Sandy, Lydia looked up at the mountain and asked if she could climb it. Grandma told her it was a very big mountain and that maybe Uncle Johnny or her Dad could climb it, but that it was too big! Lydia said, "Grandma you just take one step at a time."
