We have had so much fun this week! Tom had to go to SLC 3 days in a row, then he moved a couple tons of rocks and worked on the rock wall! Saturday evening Joe, Ashley, Elizabeth and Natalie came to visit before departing on their summer adventures. Detroit may have been changed to Virginia Beach1 That is a great change to me! Maybe we could go out and see them and I could show Tom my old stomping grounds! The little girls are so wonderful; Natalie walks and talks! She is like a tiny doll, then she speaks in this clear sweet little voice! She entertained my Relief Society Sunday! She would want something, and we would get it for her, and in this little bell voice she'd say "Thank you"! The women went nuts! So she kept talking! It was so much more fun than a lesson! Elizabeth is such a sweetheart. She talks and talks. Her vocabulary is amazing and her voice so sweet. She is one of the most well mannered lil girls ever! Richard came over 2 days in a row to see Joe! Chris and Regina brought Sam and James to play! James and Elizabeth played together so well. They were so happy together. They even got married. Not by a legal authority, fortunately! Sam is also walking, a real toddle walk! He is a big solid boy, with chunky little feet! He loves ice cream and basketball!
These kids were just a treat! Oh, yeah, it was really nice to have Joe and Ashley too! Joe can sing anything for any occasion; and usually does! I forgot how much I liked that! Evidently, Lizzie likes it too!
We played this hilarious game Sunday evening! It was so funny we did not want to stop! I will post some pictures of the results....but it must be experienced to really get how crazy fun it is! You start by writing a catchy, well known phrase, like a lyric, a saying, jingle etc. The next person illustrates that phrase. It is passed along to the next person who then writes what they think the drawing is illustrating, without seeing any other papers. Everyone takes a turn with each phrase as it progresses (or digresses) around! SO everyone playing is busy working away. Then everyone shares! It was hilarious!
