Randomness...

With some big events lately, I noticed that I had some cute pictures which I hadn't posed which are connected with fun memories--these are from the past six weeks or so.

 

Ben has joined the ward choir in his ward and he sang to me their latest number:  "Be Still My Soul".  I love it when he is happy singing.

 

 

We missed Jena's friend, Nick's farewell so we made a stop there before he entered the MTC.  He is now serving in Alabama.

Jena and Nick Giacolone

One thing Jena enjoys (when she is in town) is Friday Friends which is held at Gigi's Playhouse twice a month.  It is for people with Down syndrome 16 years and older.  This picture is actually from their Dance Mania class which was taught on several Tuesday mornings during the summer.  She loved that too.

 

 

 



Jena, Kaitlyn, and Hyatt with Preston who is their coach from
Special Olympics.

 

The first weekend in August, Jena attended her last Laurel Retreat at Pineview Dam and her young women leaders sent me this great picture.  Bro. Ashby told us later that Jena loved the tube and rode on it as much as she could during the day. 

 



And of course, our sweet grandchildren---- 

 

 

Niki turned 1 and is getting some awesome beach time in Okinawa 



Liam is now 12 weeks old and settling into life.

Scarlett is 13 months old.  She had her first sleepover at our house last weekend.  She had a fun time and we loved having her while her parents celebrated their 5th anniversary in Park City.

Scarlett loves her aunt Jena.
She gets more hugs and kisses than anyone
else in our family (other than Scott and Scarlett, of course).
Jena is just more huggable I guess.
