Ricky is out of town this weekend with a group of guys who get together once a year to draft their fantasy football team. Yes you read that correctly, I think. Interesting. They met this year in Las Vegas and played golf a few times and had a good time. Ricky will be home Monday evening. Becky and the girls have had fun swimming with friends and hanging out together. Dick and I snuck over on Saturday afternoon and swiped the two big girls and went to see the new movie Planes. Guess what, we LOVED it. It was about a little crop duster named Dusty who wanted to fly in a race around the world. It was very exciting and we give it 8 thumbs up. Thanks Brookie and Addie Mae for going with us. Earlier in the week, we loved having them over for a mini Grammy Camp. Kinsley joined us for some fun times. We can't wait to do it again soon.

It' been a fun filled week in Virginia. Splash Parks, and a party with Jakes Pathology group were sure highlights. Our Maxwell turned 4 months and had his check up and is growing great. He is a darling little boy who is growing up tooo fast. SLOW Down Maxwell! This coming week is going to be a big one for our Penny. It's being titled, PENNY Climbs aboard the Potty Train! We are hopeful that it will be a fun week and that Miss Penny will catch the vision of how wonderful it can be to wear Panties instead of Diapers. She is such a smarty pants, I think she will do well. A jar of Reece's pieces may act as a great incentive. Good Luck Penny Lani!
Today our Keelie gave a talk in Primary about Prayer. Charlie was able to record it on his phone and sent it to Dick and I to listen too Keelie, I loved hearing your talk. I could just imagine myself in your Primary room listening to you in person. Well Done! I heard but have not dared watch, that Char took a video of him tossing Callum into the air. Oh Charlie, please, please, please, be careful with our little boy. I'm guessing the Kenzie and Keelie are busy getting ready for Back to School. Keelie's Kindergarten get to wear uniforms to school. What fun that will be. I'd love to see your picture in yours Keelie.
Our L.A. Thiots
Pierce spent a few days in Pennsylvania for work again this week. What a jet setter he is turning into. I got the cutest little video of Miss Adelaide this week. She looked so cute, I'm going to try to put it on the blog, cross your fingers that I might be smart enough to figure it out. Pierce also filmed his own version of Planes. He took it on his fight home and it was awesome too. Only 15 seconds as compared to the 100 minutes of the Disney Version. GO PIERCE!
Our San Fran Thiots
Sky and Kara met Charlie, Mackenzie, Keelie and Callum at the Oakland temple on Saturday morning and got to watch the kids while Char and Kenzie went to see one of Kenzie's friends get married. What a wonderful day it was and Sky and Kara LOVED seeing the kids and they loved playing hide and go seek on the temple grounds. What fun!
This week we had a fun evening on Wednesday night. We invited Dick's old Bishopric for dinner at Dickies Barbeque. It was not only tasty, but mighty fun to look back and remember good times, challenging times and thing we didn't ever want to forget. I found these darling Willow angels holding bouquet of forget me nots for the wifes. It has been a blessed six years and we will miss getting to rub shoulders so often with these good people.
We had a wonderful evening Friday night. Ben, Rebecca, Kinsley, Owen and Luke invites us to go to the circus with them. We had great seats and had a wonderful time. Thank you Christensens!!!! I hope your week has been good too. SLY Robynn
