Well, it was an interesting week, to say the least. The boys got out of school for summer break - finally! Dade came home with a trophy for getting a 4 on EOG's (End Of Grade testing) and a medal for his work in computers (how appropriate!). Tuesday I was able to attend Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment night. We had a Lend-a-hand Luau where we tied blankets for babies in the NICU. We were able to tie over 80 blankets! YEAH! Wednesday I had the wonderful opportunity
to spend some time with a friend of mine from high school. It was just like old times - we crack each other up. She brought her beautiful daughters. Corben and Kaitlyn had a lot of fun outside together. Dade left Wednesday night for Colorado for 2 weeks. Since he's 12 he got to fly as an adult (panic, panic!) but my sister was able to get him flights that flew straight through. His flight there did have a layover in Nashville but he didn't have to get off of the plane. I realized that after his stop in Denver the plane went onto California. I asked if anyone would be able to make sure Dade was awake so he wouldn't miss his stop but they said there was a staff change in Nashville and they couldn't guarantee it. Luckily a wonderful lady from the marketing department was flying
through to the first stop and said she'd keep an eye on him and notify the new staff of his stop! She even called me when she got to Nashville and let me know he was doing fine and that his plane was running a bit late. It's so nice to come across such nice people in the world! Thursday we got up to what looked like a huge fog but when I opened the door it was smoke!! It was so thick and the smell was overwhelming. It seems that fires from the coast were so bad that the smoke was blowing inland all the way to us! I kept my little asthma Ella inside for 2 days as we had code red
air quality. Friday RJ came over to play and Corben was such a HUGE help! RJ really likes him a lot. While the girls napped Corben took RJ outside for some bubble fun! Saturday Ryan went and played softball with other members of our congregation while I stayed home with the kids and watched a friend's new baby. Then we headed out to a conference held for a few of the local congregations in our area. Elder Bednar, a
member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, was there and spoke with us. It was an amazing experience. Sunday was Father's Day and the kids woke Ryan with breakfast in bed. He loved his present (a new meat thermometer). Then we headed back out for a wonderful 2nd day of conference! Afterwards Ryan's dad joined us for dinner. Ryan cooked chicken and vegetables from the garden on the grill. It was a really nice week! Now hopefully I can just find things for Corben to do until Dade gets back!

Good job Dade! (What's EOG?) We sure have some smart kids,huh?
We had smoke from those fires too! Not as bad as your area of course but there was a strong smoke smell when I went in the backyard on Saturday and Chad said Ocean City was really bad. Isn't that wild?
love ya!
EOG - end of grade testing
