Quite a week!

Monday night my SIL called to see if I wanted to can peaches. How could I refuse following the prophet?! Besides, all me sisters all over the states were putting me to shame. They were doing peaches, pears, tomatoes, etc. I was becoming a slacker!!



I finally got the two windows that have been broken for almost a year and a half fixed on Wed!! It was so wierd looking through them without any obstruction. There were Hobo spiders inside one and the repair guys were really freaked out. Guess I need to spray around the house!!



I want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Rylan!! He got his first Progress Report of Junior High and got a 3.8 GPA. We're very proud of him. He seems to really enjoy Jr High. He loves going to all the games, regardless of the sport or if it's the girls or boys team. He also went to his first Stomp. I guess that's a dance. I didn't really realize what I was saying yes to until I was visiting teaching later that day and was talking to a mom of a high schooler. In my mind I kind of thought we'd wait until he could go to Stake dances before going to school dances (which would be age 14) but I guess it's too late for that now!! It is right after school and I guess is more of a pump it up hang out thing. His response on it, "You had to leave your shoes in your locker and it really smelled in there!" The music was "ok" I guess.



I put up a picture of him pitching this weekend with Richard umpiring in the background. Richard switches umpiring outfield and behind the plate for each game. Doesn't Richard look great?! Hard to believe he's ALMOST 40!!! (gotta rub that in when I can)



Richard came and got me from Relief Society today and said, "You've gotta come see this". Apparantly there was no one that could play piano in Priesthood so Rylan volunteered! Mind you, he would only let me teach him for the winter last year and then lost interest in "lessons". He does like to work on songs, just hate lessons.



In other news .... Elly now has mastered rattling off numbers and yelling "HIKE" and also throws her hands in the air and says "Touchdown." Bradly is doing awesome at reading!! Blown away by his reading level. Addi is getting some control over her emotions and is starting to show improvements on deep breaths. She is our awesome artist and is seeing the downfalls of being in the same class as her twin. Morgan is enjoying a program afterschool that works on performaces. They are doing a dance to "Footloose" and she tried out for a solo singing part. Should find out this week if she gets it or not. Volleyball starts Oct 7th for her. Enough for now!
