Week three of summer has arrived. Week one was our Florida trip. Week two was the kids' church camps. Week three...kind of a glimpse at what our summer might look like...minus Aubrey's week. She flew out to BYU basketball camp. (She's going to be one tired girl!)
Parker, Cole and Cooper (Cole's younger brother) have been washing cars for their summer jobs. Park was super busy every day. He would come home after 12 hour days beat but happy. He was having fun working with friends and pleased he was making money.
Brian texted me that Park was at 3N washing cars, and I asked him if he could please try to get some pictures. He came through for me!
Park and Cole Park was pretty proud about how big he looked in this picture.
Cooper, Park and Cole cleaning the inside of Brian's truck. They were trying on all of his safety glasses he had in the truck.
Tanner started summer workouts. Well, he is choosing not to go to Speed and Strength because it is only being run through the football coaches this year. He is going to open gym for basketball at Permian and to Crunch Fitness to workout.
He also has 4-6 lawns he mows one day a week. I wish he was working more just to stay busy, but he is pretty happy. He has plenty of money and a lot of lay around the house time. Here are a couple of pictures I took of him when he was mowing Gram and Grandpa's yard.
I dropped off the nightstands at my friend's house. I took the other stuff home and did a little bit of cleaning, touch up paint , and sewing. Brian fixed a leg on one of the chairs. Then staged this picture and posted on Facebook Marketplace for $50. (The candle, scriptures and plant were not included.) I felt that was a great price for the buyer but didn't want to list for more because I just wanted to move on. I had stored it in the garage for a week between getting the furniture and listing the furniture. I was wishing I could park in my garage, and I was regretting ever taking on this task to begin with.
Luckily, the lady who responded to this one Facebook post wanted the other chair, the three other small tables plus two framed pictures and a tree I set in the living room. $140 later we were both pleased.
I took the boys to get a massage later that day. Well, Parker kind of took me because he gave me money for Mother's Day to do something fun with. I also bought us Little Caesars personal pizzas for lunch. I was feeling rich from my furniture sales I guess.
The boys have been playing some MLB on Xbox. Only one more month for these two to hang out.
I worked on Father's Day gifts for the ward. Airi Billings made these cute cards, and I had them printed. I also printed this cute A&W design listed on another website. We just put one card on each Root Beer. Lauron Ross helped me put the gifts together, and the men seemed pretty pleased with their Father's Day treats.
On Sunday they all ate at Erin and Jeff's and played games. They also visited Kate's family. Aubrey LOVED their new puppy, Rocky Road. We received lots and lots of pictures and texts and videos of Rocky from Aubrey. Also, lots of begging for a new puppy ensued as well.
Before she left, we stopped by Petsmart and picked out a couple of gifts for Rocky. We got this cute bandanna which I personalized and a 4th of July toy. According to Aubrey, Rocky loved the toy.
I can tell she is ALL IN and loving her opportunity to learn, grow and serve. I am very proud of that girl. ONLY 6 more months and she is home!!!
The first couple of days were rough for Aubrey. She felt awkward and out of place during the evening activities. I knew there were a ton of other girls feeling the exact same way and encouraged her to be outgoing and look for them.
Also, on the first night she had a big nose bleed all over her clothes and sheets. On the second night she had a migraine and had to stay home from the dance. It was so bad she threw up. She usually has a few terrible headaches a month, but I don't think she has thrown up because of one before. She hated being "that girl" to her counselor. (The one always needing something.) Also, her feet have apparently grown two shoe sizes since she played basketball in February so she had blisters all over her feet.
It was hard being so far away and her feeling sad and sick. Day three and four were much better.
She found a friend that made a big difference. The group got to go to Seven Peaks water park and a cute boy from the boys athletic camp asked her to ride double.

| Yea for Jacie! Wish they would have found each other sooner. |
Also, Aub's team won the championship in their age bracket. Yea for a good ending to her BYU sports camp experience.
Gram had her cornea transplant this week. She has Fuch's disease which causes blindness. She did great and the doctor was really pleased with how the surgery went. She has to wear the eye patch for a week and then for a month or two after that when she is sleeping.
Bryn didn't write this week, but we had a good long chat on Monday. Gram was even able to join in for some of it. (That was really nice for Gram because activities are limited with her eye surgery.)
Bryn is working hard and sounds so happy. Right now she is serving as an "STLT" which stands for Sister Training Leader ?. I'm not sure what that last T is for but she and her companion are the sister A.P.s in her mission. (A.P.=Assistant to the President)
This basically means Brinley gets to serve and help the missionaries quite a bit. She helps with training and zone conferences. She helps plan transfers and meets with zones that are struggling. She and her comp go on exchanges each week. They also cover two wards and try to fit in as many teaching opportunities as they can.
