Ok, this last week of summer has flown by. As a farewell to summer, Corey took the kids to the zoo yesterday. They liked that well enough, but the thing they were really looking forward to was the ice cream afterwards that Corey promised them. I don't know why he's always promising them food. Seems like the outing should be enough on it's own, but I get it, food makes it memorable. Especially Handel's ice cream. Katharine would not let Corey help her with her melting dripping ice cream on this hot day.
HE had just bought this treat for her, but it was HERS and she was not going to share with him (the audacity!!!). She was not letting go. Keep this cold sugary creamy concoction close to my lips, mmmm... She was gripping this soggy cone very tightly...
K, let's see, so the past few days there were a few things I missed recording, so time to give a report. I might just be rattling some of these things off. On Wednesday Sophi and Natalie had their last summer violin lessons. 2 female butterflies emerged. On Thursday Mel and Abi began their travel back from Europe - first to Amsterdam, then to Chicago, then arriving in SL at 10 pm Friday night. Nicole came by to visit us on Thursday and she left Friday morning. Pic of us on Friday -
Nicole is my favorite. I'll give the details of her travels. She left Maryland on Sunday, drove to Ohio, then drove Ohio to Utah on Monday. They arrived early Tuesday morning and came to our house for a shower and then they went to the airport to get the missionaries Tues morning. Her twins entered the MTC on Wednesday. Corey has been called to the Bridgetown Barbados Mission, and Nic is going to serve in the Canada Edmonton Mission. Exciting! They went to lunch as a family and then went to Bountiful to visit friends that are like family (the senior couple that taught her husband the gospel years ago). She stayed in Lehi Tues night with friends. She and her missionaries went to the Orem temple Wednesday morning, then picked up the rest of her kids to go with them and say goodbye as at the MTC Wednesday afternoon. I enjoyed hanging out with her Thursday. The kids liked playing with their dog.
I had one male butterfly emerge on Friday. Peter new kindergarten teacher came by to say hello with the other teacher that Owen and Daniel had. They were excited to have them come to our house, it felt special. On Friday night we had a date night dinner at India House, then went to the pre-wedding open house of a son of a friend from high school and Corey's college roommate Nathan. It was in their backyard, which I was very impressed with. It was obvious Mary puts a lot of work into it! We were able to see and visit with some high school friends there and tell them to come to the reunion in two weeks.
Friday was Joseph's White Coat Ceremony, and I went on a bike ride and got a PR on Clarks! 16:10, which was a tie with Corey and Joseph's best time!
I had to point out my time to them, not bad for an old lady!
It is a good way to honor him on his official start of medical school. Kids enjoyed having a lazy morning today. It's nice having 11 o'clock church. There are only a few more days to sleep in. School starts for ALSN on Wednesday. Katharine slept with Natalie on the bottom bunk but ended up in the morning asleep on the floor.
Natalie being creative this evening. I was gonna get a photo for evidence of her craziness, but she fled before me. I still got her back side. She had stuffed her clothes full to make herself look large and then was doing an exercise show.
Sophi was joining her in being silly and taped her nose up like a pig. She asked me not to put the pic here, so I'll honor that request. But just know that they are both silly tweenager girls. They'll have fun at Junior high.
