Week of May 5 - May 11, 2024

Spiritual

We enjoyed a good Fast and Testimony Meeting. I have to get up and go set up my classroom and our row in primary right after the ward before us is out, so I miss quite a bit of the talks/testimonies in Sacrament Meeting now. Primary was a bit crazy, and our sweet sister that helps with our special needs child was called to serve in the stake relief society presidency, so we will miss her and her great help so much! We had a quiet Sunday and enjoyed the cool breezes outdoors. 

Dee was able to attend the temple this week on Wednesday evening.  

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 24,782 records and reviewed 11,601 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Grace is enjoying her final high school days with lots of memories and plans for the future this week. 

Sam participated in the million minute reading challenge at school and got a yummy lunchtime popsicle as a reward. Great job Sam!

And some pics of Grace and her friends...

The Ethan Rice Family

Wade's LaCrosse season ended and he was awarded a trophy for his great efforts. He had a great season!!

And on Friday, Cameo shared:

This little lady had a good time at the rising 6th grade celebration tonight. It was for the 4 elementary schools that feed into the middle school. Grizzlies unite. Only two more weeks of elementary school for her.

The Doran Rice Family

A great pic of Doran and Amber and their great ward. 

They came by on Saturday for swimming and a small Mothers Day celebration. All are busy and well. 

Morgan

Morgan and Cassie are now living in an RV park with free space, showers, etc. while she works there. Morgan is back working for the temporary service and loves it. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good work week. 

The Nathan Rice Family

This has been another great and busy week for this family. Annie had three softball tournament games on Friday night. They won the first two but were not victorious in the championship game. Annie still had a great season and made such great progress! She loves playing softball now. 

Dad's Garden

We picked our first tomato this week! Dad also worked on some garden repairs and clean up. The chicks are getting bigger. The hens are still sitting on their nests. One more week. No babies and they are out!

 

Other highlights

I visited with Mom this week. She is happy and doing well. 

Week of April 28 - May 4, 2024

Spiritual

Sunday was good and we enjoyed wonderful talks at church by a new family. We were surprised in primary as teachers when they took us down the hall during singing time and gave us cake and thanks for what we are doing. Class went pretty well though I don't think they really associated those pretty crowns we made with King Benjamin. 

Dad talked with Cliff, and Nathan called as he was finishing up for the day. 

Dee was able to attend the temple this week on Wednesday evening. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Allison Shared:

Senior Sunday! Every hard night when she was a newborn, every tantrum as a toddler, her crazy stage where she tortured her brothers as a child, her moody pre-teen years, and our shenanigans during her teen years were all worth it because every single day was made of decisions and actions and words that helped us build an incredible relationship. She is my little bestie forever and ever.

Their family has been surviving some pretty rough illesses lately. Stomach, fever, lungs. Hopefully they will be on the mend soon. Allison is taking her final tests. Mike has been so conscientious to work exta hours to pay for those tests. Everyone is doing great (except Josh was really sick as we spoke) and Grace is looking forward to graduation in a few weeks. 

The Ethan Rice Family

Busy week at Ethan and Cameo's house as sports continue and the school year winds down. 

The Doran Rice Family

Doran, Amber and family had a good and busy week with work and school.

Morgan

No news from Morgan and Cassie this week. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good work week and a quiet Saturday. 

The Nathan Rice Family

Nathan and Jessica finished cleaning up and final move out this week and are happily settling in their new home. Ellie face timed me and gave me a great tour. They love the back yard and the above ground pool. Nathan is now tasked with mowing three acres of lawn and taking care of trees. They are doing well. 

Dad's Garden

Tomatoes are still surviving. The new chicks are doing well and managing not to anger the other hens. Two are still sitting on eggs. 

 

Other highlights

I finally finished installing the trim in the living room, what ended up being a three year off and on project.
