Last week we had a fun surprise visit from Sarah, Lindsay and Chai. It was fun to catch up and talk about Sarah's upcoming law school adventure. She'll be attending William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in the fall.
The next day we went and watched Lindsay through the discus at region. She did awesome and it was so fun to watch her. It brought back so many fond memories of my days in track. We were really proud of her.
That weekend we made a quick visit up to Cache Valley. I had no idea Landon had such a great voice! It was fun to hear him sing songs from Hamilton.
Then we ran over to Lindsay's ballet recital. Lydia had been looking forward to this for days. She loved watching all the ballerina's and kept telling Sarah through the performance that she just wanted to be a ballerina and wear a tutu and have a bun. Lindsay did so good, she had so much grace and beautiful form. It was so fun to watch. If Lydia has her way, she'll be performing right along with her next year!
Lydia and I went out and practiced our soccer one morning. She's being a lot more aggressive and really improving from her first game. She loves it.
Her coach always asks the team which way they're going before they kick off.
They didn't have any subs for her game last week so she played the whole time. This is how she felt afterwards. She kept saying, "Mommy, my legs are ouchy!"
We went and visited Lydia's cousin, Greyson who lives in American Fork last week. These two had a blast playing and I had a marvelous time visiting with Mary. Cousins are the best.
When I asked Lydia what was going on, she said that King Tritan was giving a talk in church to all the people. So funny!
Loren and I got a flag from our wedding and just barely got around to setting it up. It's really nice and big.

Chris, Kristen and Atticus came and visited us last Saturday. What a fun time we had! They had brought a couple bikes and a longboard so we all took turns riding up and down the trail. Its been so long since I've ridden a bike, it was glorious to be back on one again. Atticus really wanted to ride Lydia's bike and Lydia wanted Atticus', so I guess that worked out. They had had a blast riding "super, duper fast!' It was so fun to catch up with them.
The craziest thing happened on Sunday. I had made an appointment for us to look at a home in Nibley on Monday morning. Sunday at 5:30, I got a call from the realtor telling us that we either needed to come see it that night or I'd be gone because there was already an offer on it. We really liked the home from the pictures so we decided to go that night and see it. We were racing around throwing stuff in suitcases and busting out the door to see it before it got dark. When we got there the realtor informed us that he just got another offer on the home. So now there was two offers at asking price. When we stepped in the door we were confronted with a terrible smell of dog. That, along with various other factors helped us to decide it wasn't the home for us. We stayed the night in Avon and had a wonderful time spending time with mom, Lindsay, Landon and Aaron.
The next day was my sister, Emily's birthday! She turned 19, hard to believe! To celebrate, she, my mom and I went to Chili's and as a special treat, ordered the Lava Cake for dessert. It was truly heaven on a plate. So glad I have this sister of mine. She's my best friend and is beautiful inside and out.
My parents sold their home and have to be moved out by the 12th of June. We'll be heading up to help them pack and move off and on through the next few weeks. They've been through so much with this whole process, I just can't wait till they can finally relax in their new home. They're amazing examples of looking at the positive even when they come up on bumps in the road. I sure love them and all my family. Family makes life worth living.
