Happy birthday to Matt!

Tuesday was Matt’s birthday. I woke up early and made everyone crepes - they turned out so well, my best ever. I made him a fruit salad too and homemare whipped cream before sending him off to work. 

Delaney is a Barnum and Bailey’s performer for her recital in June and they got their costumes Tuesday evening. Delaney told me in no uncertain terms that I was not allowed to come in with her because she didn’t want me to see her costume. Then her friends mom sent me this. 😭 Then in the car she schooled me and told me no one else could see it. Then she tried it on and came down and showed everyone. 😭 She loves performing so she’s very excited!

This is what happens when you ask Delaney to text her sisters that we’re heading home. 

We had a lovely spaghetti and meatball dinner and pineapple upside down cake. He’s the worst person to shop for, but he really liked the massage gun Frankie picked for him and it was a happy birthday. 

Bishop Wiest asked Frankie to deliver a special Christ centered For the Strength of Youth magazine to every girl in her class, so on Wednesday we picked up her counselor Grace and talked about what they should say at each house. I had them each pick a quote to share and then we prayed before their first house. I want them to love ministering, so we got mcflurries on our way to Mechanicsville. They were cute and fun, they’d high five after each house and congratulate each other on their performance after each delivery. 

Coming home to Wednesday evening and there was the most beautiful sunset!

Alli’s best friend passed away in New Orleans over the weekend. It was super unexpected and so sad. She flew out for his memorial and to give support and help clean out his things. We are mourning with those who mourn and offered to watch tenkor while she’s gone. I’ve been taking her for long runs on the dirt road behind the library that I don’t like to run alone on every morning, keeping her worn out has calmed her down a little I think. And I appreciate that the girls get some animal time while she’s here. 

Alecia and I went to the temple Thursday morning and the tulips are so beautiful!

It was a lovely cloudy day and lovely to learn and spend time together.

There was terrible traffic on our way home so I had to go straight to pick up Frankie and Jaidyn from track practice, then drop them off and straight to the dentist with adi. I had just enough time to make dinner then drop Delaney off at ballet and straight home for another training. Some days are just like that. I’m grateful they are fewer and farther between  now. 

Today I got a lot done off my to do list. It’s a half day, so time for shenanigans. 

And a funny to finish us off:
