There was this random little parade in Lindon and Lyndi invited me to go with her family. I haven’t been to a parade besides the Summerfest one since I was a kid. This was small and simple and just perfect.
It didn’t hurt that they tossed out a boat load of candy either! Haha.
The Lindon LDS Temple is such a beautiful place.
This is one of my sweet daughters.
She and her sister volunteered to help at the Lindon Temple Open House last month.
One had a shift n the parking lot and the other was inside guiding tours.
But honestly, I don’t think it wouldn’t matter where they put these cute kids in this lovely place.
They’re just happy to help.
Yes, yes–today is my birthday, however…
this month, Lyndi and I both had birthdays. So THAT means we each got a free coupon for a waffel of our choice from Waffel Love!!
Wa-dang-HOOOO!
Lyndi wisely chose a Peach Cobbler Waffel.
Of course we took Laurie with us because she is awesome even though her birthday is in February.
She chose the grilled cheese waffel and tomato soup. I have to say, I was a bit jealous.
Sweet? Savory? Sweet?
Now hear this. As long as there are fresh peaches in Utah–they are going to win…
EVERY time.
Yum. Yum. YUM!!
Happy birthday to…some of us!!
Heh-heh.
Oh, yeaaaah–I’m pretty proud of these kids! They all entered the ESports competition for Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove. Such brave souls. I was way too chicken–but I did come to watch.
Jillian, Lyndi and Rhen all entered the Dr. Mario tournament.
They played through the rounds and got pretty far. At one point there were people standing outside the school windows so that they could see the screens!
Some guy came over by me and started complaining about all the people that had beat him. I sheepishly said, “Yeah, that’s my daughter,” and “That’s my other daughter,” and “That’s my son.” All he said in return was, “Wow.”
I swear, I tried to keep a straight face. We will not discuss how well it worked.
Our boy entered the Smash Bros tournament because it’s his particular specialty. Watch out everybody else!
Rhen and this fellow got to the finals…
but of course…
there can be only one winner!!
No surprise to me who that was!
Congratulations Rhen!!!
But wait!! Right after that–we had another winner in the Smash Bros category!! Congratulations boy!!
I taught them everything they know.
BAHAHAHAhahahahaha!
What a fun time.
Hanging out with winners!
Heh, heh.
Sometimes when you feel like you’ve run out of space–it is very easy to get overwhelmed and….welll….
let things go.
I admit, that’s exactly what I did. I knew I needed to rotate out all the expired stuff but it felt daunting. And besides, those expiration dates are getting tinier and tinier and harder and harder to see every single day. Ha.
Enter my sweet Lyndi, whose got a fabulous way of taking chaos…
and after hours and hours of hard work…
turning it…
into…
rows and rows…
of lovely, meticulous ORDER!!!
I can now find EXACTLY what I need in a matter of seconds!!
Hallelujah!!!
To me, when I look at my crazy shelves now, all I can see is…
love.
Thank you my sweet, kind, incredibly hard working girl. You’ll never know how deeply I appreciate all this awesomeness.
I love you Lyndi.
