my parents

my parents are always doing good things.  a lot of times we are the beneficiaries.   here's a few GOODS from this week:

my mom spent the night.  we went to sadie's end of the year, basketball banquet.  it was at soldier hollow and the dinner was really nice.  anyway, my mom saw how much laundry i had backed up and said she was sleeping over to do my laundry.  it just happened to be her birthday the next day.   that's just how my mom is!  she was surprised when she woke up to a birthday table and we celebrated before school.  she cried.  sadie wrote her the nicest note and everyone was excited to have her at our house on her birthday morning.  it was a treat.  then she did my laundry, despite me telling her that i'm always behind on laundry and that it was ok...somehow she quickly finished it all and then she was off, probably to do her next good deed.  she is one amazing lady and i am grateful for her example and efforts!
 max happily wrapped up one of his homemade treasure and gave it to her.  

friday, my parents picked up some of the grandkids from school and took them to the temple to do baptisms for family names.  my dad baptized and confirmed them and then took them all out to eat.  abe was super happy when they said, "get whatever you want."  and he did:)


saturday, my dad brought some gopher bombs and helped the boys try to address our gopher issue.  the boys thought it awesome.  max was concerned that the gophers would die and kai said doing smoke bombs was the best part of the day.  we have so many gophers!  


  i'm really glad we live closer to family and that my kids get to have these kinds of experiences.


....as a side note:
 vivian always eats with one foot up!

 glad she is feeling so much better!!!!
