Back in April the Relief Society asked if they could have a retreat at our house and we of course said yes. So it was planned for May 7-8th unfortunately that's when my father was put on Hospice and passed away on May 8th. However, the event went on and was very successful. We had hamburgers and hotdogs and had a great evening with lots of games and dutch oven cobbler. Some girls spent the night some went home and returned in the morning for a great breakfast and to help with our humanitarian service project. I knew we could leave them and they would take charge and clean up and lock up so that AJ & I could be with my dad his last day.
Our ward activity this month was a dinner and movie outside. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and so we had to move it inside. It still turned out to be a great evening. We had Carter and Ava spend the night with us and the movie the showed was UP which they totally enjoyed. They were so excited to get to sleep in the new playhouse in our basement they both slept up in the loft totally believing AJ was sleeping down below. By the time they woke up he was already reading in his office and so they'll never know.
For FHE we weeded and planted flowers in front of the Institute Building located at the Jordan SLCC Campus. We had twenty flats of flowers to plant and with all the amazing help it only took 45 minutes to get it all done.
This year Carter wanted to play T-Ball so Cory and Tara signed him up and we went to watch him play one evening. After every game Carter will tell you which team won his or the other team. (funny....cause they don't keep score) but he knows and it's not always his team. The first time Carter hit the ball he ran and picked it up and ran to first base. He was safe (tie goes to the runner). I'm so glad that we never put Cory in T-Ball....his parents are much more patient than I would ever be...which is surprising because his dad is such a competitor. Ava takes her pom poms to every game and is the cheerleader.
