Our Mansfield Thiot’sSkyler and I had a fun surprise on Monday, Ricky walked in right at lunch time. We had such fun making tacos together that tasted delicious. Sky said, “Mom you’ve got both of your bookends here for lunch, the oldest and the youngest.” It was a fun time, thanks for dropping in Ricky. Saturday morning Ricky called to see if the girls could come and play while he and Becky took in a matinee movie. Sky and I had fun swimming with the little girls. Sky pretended to be the big black bear from the Alaska movie last weekend and Brooklyn loved being a polar bear, her favorite, and hunting for salmon in the swimming pool. It was 105 degrees and the swimming pool was the perfect place to be. Thanks for sharing your darling little girls with us Ricky and Becky!

I am happy to report that Jake survived his first week of his 2nd year of medical school. He thinks his classes are going to be a lot of work but enjoyable. He is especially enjoying his pathology class. I am also happy to report that Tatia survived her week with five little people to entertain and keep happy all week. It was her final week of being a Super Nanny. She has a week off and then starts at Apple Creek Preschool teaching the 3 year old classes. I think those children in her class are going to love Miss Tatia. I know I do. On Saturday, Tatia and Jake went over to the families home who she nannied and took their family picture. I can’t wait to see how they turned out. Tatia has some sweet photography skills with her fun new camera.
Our Carmichael Thiot’sWhen Skyler returned from California, he has slowly been unpacking his things. It’s been kind of fun to have him find something new to share every few days. At the first of the week he brought down two pictures that are now hanging on my refrigerator. That is the place of honor in our family. If you make it to the fridge, you know that you have really arrived in Mom’s book. Well, I hope I don’t get into trouble for making this fun announcement, but the pictures are of our newest Grandbaby who is due to arrive in January. Our little Keelie is going to be a big sister and what a wonderful one she will be. Mackenzie is having morning sickness around the clock which is not fun at all. I wish I was closer to be some help to her. I’m glad she has a wonderful husband to help when he can and a very sweet little two year old too. Congratulations on your 5th anniversary this week Charlie and Mackenzie!

This is anniversary week for Pierce and Stacy as well. On Monday, they will celebrate 2 years of being married. Congratulations to you two! Hope all is well, phone home when you get a minute or two.
Our Sky ThiotSkyler’s friend Skyler came over this week for a pizza and movie night. Skyler works at a pizza place and she is really good at making pizza. They had a fun time together. Skyler got a phone call from a dear family in his mission inviting him to come to New York for the weekend next weekend. He didn’t even have to think about it or ask permission he just said YES!!!! He leaves on Friday morning and I think comes home on Monday night. He is planning to visit all 3 wards next Sunday that he served in and visit all the dear people he loves and misses so much. When he returns, it will be time to pack up and head back to Provo for Fall semester to begin. This six weeks has gone by way to fast, I was afraid it would and I was right, it has.
We Plano Thiot’sI have spent a lot of time this week shopping for placemats. You may think I’ve got a place mat addiction of sorts but that is not the case. Tatia and I were asked to teach a class at Super Saturday for Relief Society next month. The class is making scripture totes out of a place mat. They are fun to do.

I have been to Kohl’s, Wal-Mart, Target, TJ Maxx, All a Dollar, and last the best of all the game to Anna’s. Only Robynn Thiot could make a simple project into a major life event. Uggggg. I wish I wasn’t this way, but I did get three done for the display today and they are very cute. Next week I will take my camera and take a picture of all the fun classes they are teaching. It looks like it will be a fun day. Tatia and I are hoping we don’t get to may customers so we can attend some classes too.
Dick had a good week and is finally getting over his Jamboree cold that he caught. He’s worked a bunch and is nearly caught up after being away for two weeks. Hooray! Dick loved having the granddaughters over on Saturday afternoon. They just adore him and he does them. Stay cool during this HOT time of year. Sure love ya, Robynn
