September 19
1. The Primary Program!!! By far the best Sacrament meeting of the year. And I have to admit my kids were pretty darn cute. Lucy sang out and knew all the words. Abbie's testimony about being baptized was perfect and Max was still happy to be up there. I told Jason that this is probably his last... next year I am betting that he will think he is to cool. I am holding on to his age 10 with everything I have. 11 just seems different. And I want him to be my "little" boy. It is slipping away faster than I can bear. Emilee liked watching it from the congregation.
2. Mom, Dad, Shawn, and Kate came too! Dad was prepared with treats, and Shawn kept me entertained with his cute little comments.
3. That we don't live in Heriman right now. There is a big fire across the lake and I hope all those homes are alright.

2. Mike N Ikes. It was so nice to find a few quarters in my purse tonight. I chased Jayne for 2 hours at the PG rec center as I watched Emilee try out for Volleyball again. Jayne ran across the floor and under the net a dozen times. I think everyone in the gym thought I was completely nuts. And then right at the very end of the long tryouts, lo and behold I found 3 shinny quarters and hit the vending machines. It fixed everything!
3. Sandy Bevan as Emilee's YW leader. She stopped by tonight with the girls after Emilee's tryouts to help her with her personal progress.

5. Emilee tried out for the freshman volleyball team today. I made her and she wasn't happy with me. I have got to get her busy with something after school and so I took her down to the High School and tried to convince her how much fun it would be. There were over 50 girls trying out and only 18 made it, and of course there were mostly 9th graders. She didn't make it but she told me that she had fun and would maybe like to play sometime. Progress!
6. Going for a long late night walk with Jason and Jayne.
7. Jason can read me so good and picks up the pieces when I am falling apart. He did the dishes tonight and put the girls to bed.
