Ricky's friend since he was in 5th grade came to Dallas for few days this week. Blake is adventurous like Ricky and they both love the wake board park in Waco. They've made a few trips there this week and had lots of fun. I'm glad to report they didn't injure or break anything. Blake heads back to Salt Lake this afternoon. Blake has an awesome job working for The CHurch of Jesus CHrist of Latter Day Saints. He works security and gets to help protect our sacred buildings and leaders. We love you Blake. Ricky's girls are loving being at Nana and Papa's house. We are glad they are having a good time but are sure missing them. Tomorrow will be Addison's sixth Birthday! Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!
Jake started his third year of residency this week. It's going to be an extra busy year. Tatia said that they have a high pressure month and then next one is a little less. He is currently in one of the high pressure time periods. They didn't see much of him this week but this morning was the exception. He is home and instead of sleeping in, he woke up early to build a temple out of duplos with two of his favorite people on the planet. I LOVE Moroni on top and Penny and Maxwell out front. Well done you three. While the temple construction was going on down stairs, Tatia and Oscar were working on her new church calling as Primary Secretary. She made the cutest bracelets to remind the primary children of their upcoming assignments to pray or speak. So cute T!
I love this picture of Charlie, Callum and Keelie they took at the Salt Flats on their way home from our Family reunion. You guys know how to take a fun selfie. Love it!

Yesterday was Pierce's 29th Birthday. Happy Birthday Pierce! It was also their Moving into their home day which is not always the funnest way to spend a birthday, but Stacy made it fun by scooping him up for a birthday date last night. She had arranged for a sitter and after all there hard work they had a fun evening. I was so grateful for the friends who came and helped them get everything moved. They had been working on packing and moving a little bit at a time all week, but Saturday when 12 good strong men showed up, it happened much quicker. If you live far from family, friends are the best!

When I picked up Sky for our friday lunch date, he asked if he could drive and if we could go on a little adventure. I had to smile as that is what I always called running errands with the kids when they were young. we went and pickup up his passport and visa for an upcoming quick trip to China and and Kara are planning. Friday marked the one year date of my sweet mom's passing. In an effort to make a sad day a little more joyful, my sweet niece Krista suggested that we make it a day of service to remember gram. She was always doing things for others and we couldn't think of a nicer way to remember her than by doing just what she has taught us. Sky and Kara were able to help a member of their ward get packed and moved on Friday night and then Sky after that headed to the airport to pick up Dick who's flight had been delayed with the weather and sent to Austin instead of Dallas. I was sure grateful as it had been a very early morning for me. Thanks for doubly serving Sky!
Tatia shared this picture with me on Friday. She had showed it to Penny of her and Gram and Penny thought it was me and her. I think I may need to look into going blond like mom did. he he he.
Dick worked in Salt Lake this week and I had a dentist appointment on Tuesday that knocked me for a loop. It's been a week I've been glad to have behind me. I've loved hearing about all your service my sweet family offered on friday. Sure love ya'll, Robynn
