Wow! It's the middle of 2013 already..

June 6, 2013

I think the mic's still on.  We just need to "talk" into it.               

In a nutshell:

We had our annual girl's night last week and had a blast despite various ailing family members' bouts with the stomach crud.  Nathan was even kind enough to text us a picture of little Finn's projectile explosion that plastered him literally from head to toe.  Thank you Nathan. Anyway, we went to dinner at Porcupine Grill where we were surprised with a guest server named Rosalind.  That was so fun!  I'm so glad she could join us.  We gabbed and ate chocolate donuts and other goodies and gabbed some more.  Everybody's toes look a lot better, too, except for Brittany's and Katie's and we'll have to keep you posted on theirs. 

Brittany and Frank are moving tomorrow to avoid being crushed by their imploding house.

The clan is looking forward to our trip to the Davis cabin next week.  We'll miss Nathan and Emily who will be in Las Vegas cooking, and Brandon and Roz who will be in Texas sweating copious amounts of bodily fluids.

Nick is walking the walk for his graduation on July 13th.  Congratulations, Nick!!  I am a proud mama.

Later that evening, we're having an extended family picnic.  Please see your email for details.  I think it will be fun and relatively painless, so PLEASE try to attend.  I know some of you have other commitments, but if possible try to stop by for a short time if you can.

Ben and Zac play some good baseball.  Dad and I watched them play one of their games a couple weeks ago and it was so fun to be there.  I understand they have been selected for the All Stars, too.  Awesome news!

Sean cracked me up with his description of some well-meaning people in his ward.  Enough said.

Kaleb had his tonsils out not long ago and did really well.  He is a very brave little boy.

Dad got his bike out again and got it all tuned up and ready to ride for the summer.  He's been riding on the Jordan River Parkway trail and usually rides about 18 miles each ride.  He has also been swimming at our pool 5 or 6 times already since it opened on Memorial Day weekend.  When he gets bored with those activities, he goes running for an hour and a half. 

That was a pretty big nutshell!  Let's try to keep this going.  I tend to forget about it, so if we take turns writing on it, it will help me remember to add my 2 cents worth.

Love you all,

The Mom
