Involved

Tonight Lily had a concert in Provo. Wayne was so nice and he took Lily down and went to the concert.  So nice. I hope to be the kind of involved grandparent Wayne and JeNeal and my parents have been for my kids. Mel and Christian went to the concert too, and then Wayne took them all out to eat - 

Mel and Christian joined them after they had a fun date at a trampoline park. Fun! Mel's pretty flexible! 

Lily stayed there in Provo after the concert and is spending the night with Mel, so that's fun for them to have some sibling bonding time. These college kids are awesome big siblings and I'm grateful they are trying to be involved in their younger siblings' lives! At home, Corey and I went out to eat at India House. This afternoon K was being her usual adorable self. She was sitting opposite me in the chair at the front room window and talking to me while I attempted to read, and then gave up on reading and tried to be present with her. 

She's so cute and fun. Then she fell asleep in the chair and I did read a little bit. I wasted a little bit of time watching reels today. One lady at bigtimeadulting was pretty funny, I liked her reel asking "Hey ladies, did you cut out alcohol and eat kale during the entire decade of January and notice absolutely no difference in your weight? Yeah, that's cause that's not how it works anymore..." ha! I also, in a moment of weakness, ordered some Rosabella Morenga, then I emailed to try and cancel the order but it was too late. I need to not give in to these impulses. Sorry Corey! We have enough to spend $ on without me believing gimmicks. doh. Oh, so speaking of spending money and Corey, we heard back on Wednesday about Corey's car, and the Saga continues - Burt Brothers said they see at least $1400 of damage to left/right encoder rings that should never happen, but could happen if they (Tanner's) didn't know what they are doing taking things apart and putting it back together. Which we're sure is the reality - that they are incompetent. Corey gave the kids the update: I'm gathering evidence. I didn't pay cash, so I think after I get all the evidence from Burt Brothers I'll go talk with Blaine and let him know we found the problem. Blaine was nice enough to give me proof that there were no error codes before they did more work on it. I'm also talking with the finance companies to put pressure on them...meaning they haven't gotten paid yet so there may be some leverage there. If I had paid with a debit card it would be much harder to get that money back." Ethan gave Corey permission to unleash his inner Karen. Joseph said he feels bad for them, but they really shouldn't be in business. I agree. Corey updated his Google maps review: "I just got a call from Burt Brothers who have been looking at my car. There is pretty clear evidence that front-left encoder ring is very severely damaged and the right one is probably also in bad shape. These units need to be removed to do the transmission work, but damage like this just doesn't happen unless the person doing it has no idea what they are doing. The auto-shop is sending me pictures of some of the damage and they estimate over $1,400 to repair it." We'll see how it goes. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. After almost 3 months we're looking forward to having his car back!
