Dear Caleb & Jacob,
WOW, Where did this week go? In order to remember what happens from week to week, I always go back to look through the photos that were taken. I can't find any so therefore this may have been a boring week. Actually, it was a very fast and busy week. Adam finished up his Drivers Ed class and had his first drive at the Sky View driving range. I started the American Festival Choir season again. It is going to be the busiest one ever as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. I can't believe that it has been 10 years! I guess a lot has happened in that time and you guys would've been young when I started! Both Sariah and Samantha have already missed a little school with a seasonal cold virus. They're getting better though. There have been so many fires here in the northwest that the days have been sunny but hazy and even kind of dangerous to be outside for a prolonged amount of time. They even had the kids at school stay inside for recess. The full moon has even showed orangish red.
Sydney told us, after the fact, that she auditioned to sing the National Anthem for a ball game at Green Canyon. She's hoping to be able to sing at a football game this time. When she did it for us after, she sounded awesome! Her good friend Hannah put together a surprise birthday party for her last Monday. She truly was so surprised that she started to cry!
Sariah signed up to play the violin with the 4th grade orchestra program. Her ultimate goal is to play the cello but maybe she'll land on the viola. The primary program was yesterday and Sariah sang her HEART out! All the kids did. It's always the favorite Sacrament Meeting of the year.
Dad must've left a lasting impression on those YSA kids because a group of them wanted to come to our house last night to watch the Worldwide YSA fireside. It was fun to have them here again but I had to leave for a meeting right after they got here. He sure misses that calling.
Well, it's probably time to retire the boat for the year. It's always a sad thing to do. Dad's really not sure if he'll keep the boat or sell it. It all depends on what Mitch decides to do and whether or not you two boys want much to do with it next year.
Our neighbor, Ben Duncan, left for his mission on Wednesday for Ivory Coast in Africa. After they said "goodbye," they turned to go down the escalator and saw Chris Pratt (Parks and Rec & Guardians of the Galaxy). He has a secret place here in Utah to go hunting. I'll throw that picture in for kicks since I have no others.
We're very concerned about Baxter this week. He heaves when he breaths and is constantly throwing up in the garage after he drinks water. He doesn't seem to want to eat much, if at all. I wish we knew a vet to ask if we should take it serious or not. I'll go to PetSmart today to ask what NEW food they recommend for him.
Have a super week! We look so forward to your letters! Love you a TON!
Mom
