Week of March 12-17, 2018

Highlights:

Spiritual

My cub scouts was shockingly wonderful. We had eight scouts, but three have moved up to the next den, one isn't coming often, and one now has baseball, so we changed up what we were going to do and met the needs of the two boys who came. Worked on Code of the Wolf, and the next few weeks we will work on Digging In The Past.

I have indexed 7374 records so far this year.

I am in 2 Nephi   in the Book of Mormon.

Family

The Wilkins Family

This was a busy but good week for Wilkins family. Grace is healing nicely. Sam enjoyed "F" week and took a fun trip to the pet store to see the fish. I was able to see via MarcoPolo both Grace and Josh in their classes recited from memory their poetry. They each did a fantastic job.
Josh's pinewood derby was Saturday. He did very well, and had a great time!!!

I forgot to add this news last week from the blog: Josh's tooth loss

The Ethan Rice Family

Here are some pics from Ethan and Cameo's weekend Camping trip

Lots of fish were caught by all. Kaylee made sure I put the correct tallies on our family fishing count. 

School celebrated Dr. Seuss this week. This was Kaylee's artwork

She also had a Dr Seuss meal fund raiser and program at preschool.

It was lots of fun to FaceTime with her and Wade during the week. We also talked with her on the phone. She finished naming all our chickens...

"Pig" somehow seems a bit offended by her name, but I am sure she will get used to it. They all turn into pigs when I feed them sunflower seeds. 

Leprechauns visited this house on Saturday. They dyed the milk green, walked through the flour, and left chocolate coins and Rolos around the house. 

The Doran Rice Family

Uncle Morgan has been busy doing what uncles do best: corrupting nieces and nephews. This week: gum. The kids sure liked it...not so sure about momma though.

Morgan

Morgan still working and doing well.

Kayty

First are some pics from Kaytys event last weekend.

Kayty started her new job this week. This job answered many prayers, and she loves it. Training lasts a month and then off to her cubicle.

Total saves this week: one major with seizures. 

The Nathan Rice Family

This week started with sweet Anna coming down with a 103 fever. She and I visited via Marco Polo and she seemed happy as long as the meds kept her fever down. This is Jessica's last heavy week of work this semester, and I prayed they would get through the week as though I was there with the girls. Weather was a little bit warmer, which helped. Nathan did well on his test this week and worked on a revised project. 

Dad's Garden

I picked peas once this week but the mildew and dust gave me such eye troubles that I needed antibiotic ointment put in, so no more picking without a mask and eye protection. 

Year of the House Part 2

Cut a few pieces of stone for wall trim.

Other highlights

Dad went on lots of hikes. I spent my week getting a routine going...still getting that together but next week will be better.

Nano had lots of shopping to do as well as blood work at the lab and a vitamin shot at the doctors office. 

We worked for four hours on an Eagle Scout project for one of Dad's deacons Saturday.
