B is for Bread

Well Andy left again today for another business trip…3rd one in the last few weeks.  He never travels so this is a little unusual for all of us, but we are holding our own without too much trouble! 

Lynds, as you must have assumed the lunch didn’t work out for Andy.  He called your mission pres and he said, “no.”  Which is fine, sad but completely understandable!  He said it would be too distracting J  We all know Andy can be distracting!  Hahaha…or maybe I mean distracted?  Just kidding.  That is Audrie…she is my distracted one!  I saw this card once that said on the front, “Happy Bir….Oh look a Squirel!”  And I thought it was perfect for Audrie, but it would have not made any sense to her at all. 

We’ve had a good busy week.  Audrie had her final volleyball game, which was really fun.  They were SO close to winning their final game, but just missed it.  They improved a GAZILLION percent.  Seriously.  It is amazing how much improvement you can make in 11 weeks.  It was fun and I’m glad I had the opportunity to coach even though it was really stressful for mwah!

Kaylee has been very thoughtful lately.  Asking a lot of deep questions as her mind really works hard.  The other day she asked me, “Mom, can you smell in space?”  I scratched my head and said, “Um. I don’t know.  We are going to have to look that up.”  Do you know what the answer is??  You will get the first hug when I see you next if you get it right!  Answer to follow…and NO CHEATING!

Tyler had his first performance this week.  It was really fun to see him (hear him) perform!  They don’t play as a band this year yet to help them learn their instrument first.  So Tyler is in a percussion class and they performed as a group.  First they played the snare drum, then they played a combination of the marimba (wooden xylophone basically), the bells (metal xylophone) and one other style of xylophone.   Hopefully the videos come through.  You can’t see him very well, but he one of the tallest ones in his group, in the center a little to the right in the drum line.  Sorry for the wiggly cinematography…Sam was in my arms flailing around (in fact I was shocked how still the video turned out, props to me! Ha!).

Sam and I hosted preschool this week.  Thanks to some great input from Cami, we had a great time.  We made bread and each of the girls helped put ingredients in the kitchen aid.  Sam of course was a pro because she does this all the time with me, but the other girls were absolutely fascinated!!  It was great.  See pic.



Audrie apart of a musical in her school.  She is in the choir, but they are in an out of the play.  She is absolutely LOVING it.  She sings all day long…and I wake up with the songs she’s been singing in my head….and they never leave!  Hahaha.  Good times.  We will send pictures of the performance asap.

Alrightee I better get moving on the house…and I really ought to go to the gym, but I’m not certain that is going to happen today.
