Sophia is 12!

Happy Birthday to Sophia! 12 years old today ~

My mom and Corey's dad came over this evening to bring her some gifts and wish her happy birthday.

They came at 8pm, cause Sophi was at the temple with the youth from our ward. That activity started at 5:15, and took a few hours, so they were back shortly after 7:30. They stopped for ice cream at Macey's on the way home after the temple, so Lily and Sophi both said they were full already and didn't want any. But their brothers hadn't had any, so we sang and were going to give the boys some dessert. 12 candles - 

Turn off the lights for ambiance - 

She successfully blew out the candles - so wishes granted. 

Good job Sophi. So that was fun. Tonight Abi had Lyceum (she just joined that and it is every Wednesday) and after that she and Wes and JMEH (Joe Mel Ethan Hyrum) all went down to go country dancing in Provo. They arranged it last week with each other to have one last hurrah with Hyrum before he goes up to Rexburg. They each found a dancing partner, and went out to eat at Costa Vida - 

And I was looking at this photo and I thought "How fun is that!?!?" How many kids do you know that can have a group date this big with their SIBLINGS being HALF of the group???

I told them "You guys are so Lucky!!! And you're welcome!" - cause I'm the one who made that happen. Corey and I (and the Lord) gave them to each other. Pretty cool. 

Hyrum was a little stressed trying to find a date, and yesterday he asked Laura, who is studying at BYU who he knew back in Chile... 

Little kids playing prodigy tonight, and Natalie likes and is a champ at typing club. 

She's got the lead in the whole 5th grade! Over one million points! 1,551,871! 

The next two best scores are both boys in our neighborhood, Grant with 846,195 and Jack at 735,319. Natalie's almost double, wow. She's either just an achiever or super competitive! There is butterfly stuff going on, and I'll put all that in one post soon. Katharine watching one come out this morning - 

and today was also good cause we finally fixed Wesley's phone. His screen broke months ago, and we got him a new phone, but when this one came, it doesn't allow him to answer calls. Like he can hear it ring, but there's nothing that comes up telling him who is calling or allowing him to accept the call. So for month's he just waits for the person calling to hang up, then he can see who it was and he calls them back. So yay, I got in touch with Gabb's customer service and over the chat they were able to help me fix it. Good job, go me.
