For Nana

Jill may be a performer.  It's still up for debate.  But, she does love to sing on her terms and when she does she has a crowd of listeners.  One of her most ardent fans is far away, so here is a video just for Nana.

One minute of not so safe fun

With a tornado warning and a flash flood alert in effect, the kids were out in the river behind our house before I could say no.  The weather here has been absolutely crazy the last 3 days.  More water than I have ever seen has been dumped on W.P.  Several businesses have flooded including the local quilt shop.  Soon, fabric I scored at the flood sale will be made into trek attire.  But, for today, the kids enjoyed a minute of fun that some proclaimed to be better than Disneyland.

Mom:  Why are these scriptures in the refrigerator?

Jill:  I put them there so Anna wouldn't get them.

Who would have thought?  I have to give her a little credit because Anna didn't get the scriptures.

Big Spring

We took the jaunt over to see Big Spring a little east of us.  (Some people claim it to be the Waters of Mormon.)  We just know that it is very beautiful and we had a great day wandering the path around the spring and marvelling at the amount of water bubbling up from an unseen source.  AMAZING. 

"The worst day ever!"

Two minutes before we were leaving for the spelling bee, Maggie pulled a hook out of the wall and ended up with some pretty bad damage to her head.  We took her over to the trusted doctor's house (our bishop) and he stapled her right up.  She was not amused at all, but was a pretty good sport until he told her he thought she needed two more.  When we got home she most definitely proclaimed that it was, "The worst day ever!"  I totally agreed.
