What a week! I tell you what.....it has tested everyone's limits. We had a brutal storm that completely wrecked anything I had planted in the garden. All my cut flower plants that I had started, all the beautiful basil, onions, cabbage, and lettuce. And it left everything else looking really sad. I can hardly bear to go outside right now. Luckily we had our coop raising project to distract me from my distress.
Not to dwell on the war zone that is our yard right now, let us chat about other things and get y'all up to speed on what else is going on in these parts.
Ian's show finally started! It was held up by a really obnoxious inspector for a week or so, but they finally got cleared to open and perform. We got to go FINALLY with Ruth's family and Dad who came up for the show and then stayed to help with all the projects we have going on right now. He also brought me some hellebores to plants which soothed my wounded heart mucho. Anyway, the show was fantastic! The costumes were awesome, the theater is so cool, and the cast brought so much energy and talent. We had a great time! Ian also had the chance to team up with a local party company to do a photo shoot as Spiderman. He had a blast interacting with people and looked so convincing!
Jack's soccer season ended but he still has a few tournaments to play. He is playing really well and thinking about trying out for the high school team in the fall. He also took 1st in the Spikeball tourney that Alex hosted last weekend in Rexburg. He played with one of his soccer teammates and they won pretty handily. This was on top of a 3rd place win in a higher division the weekend before in Boise. He loves a good game!
Peter also placed first in his division at the Spikeball tournament. He is by far the youngest player on the field at any event but he can definitely hold his own against adult players. He is a little worried now because he can't play in the 3.0 division anymore because he has won it, so he has to move up. He is also still working on his flips and makes his mom so dizzy watching him. Taking care of so many chickens keeps him busy and happy and he is really looking forward to having the new coop finished and has all kinds of plans to trick it out.
Alex runs circles around us as always. I don't know how he keeps all the balls in the air, but he does and he manages to squeeze in time for extra projects around the house and yard.
Counting down the days until we see you all in Nauvoo!
