Holly is bridging from Junior to Cadette |
It's been a pretty good busy week.

Wednesday the girls all had things to do...Katie YW; Holly went to the PVHS homecoming parade with the Riley's so Dad and I went and played pickleball up at the end of green springs. It was fun. It is still REALLY hot here so we got to sweat extra good!
Thursday nights dad covers girls soccer games and Nikki Turner is playing so we have been going together and watching those. It's been fun to see her and hang out with Dad while he works. She's a defender and a good runner too (she is doing the marathon next week!) We usually take the motorcycle so it's a nice little mid-week date!
Friday we went to Dickey's and got BBQ and then the girls and I went to homecoming. The girls were excited to go hang out and watch the game -- they ate pizza and junk food and hung out with friends. Unfortunately PVHS lost to HHS but it was a pretty exciting game and they had friends so they were happy! It was SO hot though!
Saturday morning Katie did her 2nd parade and marched for Dixie Homecoming parade. The littler girls were able to get tons of candy thrown at them this year so they really enjoyed the parade more than last week! They also got frozen yogurt, a frisbee, a football and several of the characters stopped at said hi to them.
We came home and watched BYU game and had goodies -- Unfortunately BYU was shut out so not the best game ever!
We made salsa and went to women's conference too. The one message that I recall is "I am a child of God, therefore ______________." We are children of God and therefore we must do good things and try to serve and love him and others. We need to fill in the __________ daily.
he conference was really good. Katie and Holly both went and paid attention good too. Pres Uchtdorf gave a talk that was really good too. He said the key to happiness is the pure love of Christ.
President Uchtdorf recounted the woman’s words, “You see, everything else in the gospel — all the should and the musts and the thou shalts — lead to love,” he said. “When we love God, we want to serve Him. We want to be like Him. When we love our neighbors, we stop thinking so much about our own problems and help others to solve theirs.”

I talked to Sister Warby after the conference and Byron is doing well on his mission in CA. We talked about our missionaries and how we miss them but that somehow we made it past half way! She is a month ahead of us.
Love you and hope you are happy and well! Can't wait to hear about your week. Love reading your letters and seeing your pictures so keep 'em coming! Proud of you and all your hard work.
Katie loves it when we cheer for her! |
Oh yea, I talked to Jill at Dr. W's office and she said what a nice young man you are. She has a boy on a mission too and misses her boy. She told me how you teased and wanted permission to play video games. I told her you wanted permission to call your mama too! She said if you ever wanna talk to your mama and can't to call her and she'll talk to you like she was your mama! She seemed really sweet and nice!!! We had a nice visit while I paid your bill! Everyone I've talked to that's met you says what a great person you are!
Hugs and Loves! Mom
