Brasa Grill with Preston and The Porge

Mike, Jorja, Preston and I all went to Brasa Grill together. We had the best time and Jorja and Preston kept cracking us up. I am enjoying every second we get to spend with this girl. Home MTC is the best!

Preston & Jorja

Jorja went to the temple with her friend Kylie.

I think Jorja will miss the ducks more than they will miss Jorja.

I have a problem with emails.

Potty Hat

Matt and Sam's family were here for the day. Anne did her school in the girls room and Jeff was in the boys room. Matt put their video monitor in the boys room so he could watch Jeff and make sure he was on task. Jeff didn't like that. haha. Sam took the kids to various doctor appointments. She goes to Dr. Gustin and drives all the way from Idaho. Dr. Gustin used to be our kids' doctor, until our insurance changed. I was so sad. I never found a doctor I liked as much as doctor Gustin here. Now Dr. Gustin reads the kids a book after their appointment. That's the way to Sam's heart! Amy had to have some more tests done and they needed to get a urine sample. They sent Sam home with a potty insert thing so they could get the sample. Kaylee ended up stealing it and using it as a hat. Hahahaha (Side note, Kaylee looks exactly like Matt when he was little.)

Kaylee and Greg

Greg loved being outside. He loved watching the ducks. He spent forever outside of the pond looking in. I cut up some grapes and brought spinach and let the kids feed them. They had a blast!

Greg wore himself out!

Mike made tapioca before Matt and Sam headed to Park City. Bear was either scared of the kids today or scared of the fire Mike made. Either way, he spent most of the day outside away from everybody. He came in for scriptures and was very calm.

I spent a lot of time talking to Stockton on the phone. We worked out his schedule and should be ready to get him registered next week!

Ducks on the Waterfall

Stockton went to a missionary farewell this morning. Jorja went to Aiden's farewell around noon. I told Jorja to make sure she said hi to my dad, since he is in Aiden's ward. Too bad he was sick and missed church. Mike, Maysen, Preston and I went to church this morning. Bear dog doesn't like being alone. He woke up Jorja with his crybaby howling. She recorded a bit of it. He didn't howl very long in this recording, but this was one hour after we left for church. Still at the door. Man that dog loves Mike.

Crybaby Bear Dog

The rest of the day was fun and relaxing. Jorja made a hot dog bar dinner with Mike. We watched ducks climb the waterfall. We watched a church movie about Africa that was pretty cool, and Jorja officially finished Step2theU. Pretty great day. Now some random pictures.

Shoes that Cori bought Jorja. The ones Stockton said looked like Jorja designed them.

Daisy likes to climb the waterfall

Notice the hummingbird. They have been coming around a lot.

Ducks at Diving

Mike has been opening the duck food at three different times during the day in the hopes that rats will not be able to snitch any. I thought it was so funny when all four of them were at the food bin. I'm happy they are all getting along!

Stockton is coaching diving up in Salt Lake today. He kept sending us pictures because ducks got in the pool! They were in there for an hour! It didn't really bother the divers too much, but eventually the swimming coaches got annoyed and got them out with a net. I wonder why the swim coaches were bothered by them? Haha - the swim picture makes me laugh.

I can't remember what Jorja and Riley were doing, but Jorja sent me this picture for today.

Ducks Love Grapes

Preston had fun feeding the ducks grapes today. The new ducks were sure fans of the grapes. I wonder if they have had them before?

Mike spent his day working on making a waterfall for the ducks

Jorja and Riley went to the fair in Riverton. She said it was a lot of fun. These are her pictures from that night.

Last Duck

The duck lady brought us the last girl duck that was abandoned today. I hope Angel gets along with these new ducks. I hope they like living here. The pool looks disgusting, but I promise it is not as green in real life. Mike is going to work on cleaning out the filters once he feels better. He felt awful today.

The Bishop came over to meet with our family. Finally, after we had to cancel twice! Haha. He seems really nice. Stockton and Jorja weren't here. They were in Logan. Jorja went to visit her friend River. She met him at USU Leadership Camp. He is an ambassador as well. He leaves on his mission soon. His farewell is Sunday, but Jorja is going to Weston's farewell. She decided to drive up with Stockton since she will miss it. She had a great time. Stockton hung out with his friend Max Ramsdell. They served together and Max has been trying to convince Stockton to room with him. Now that Jorja has decided to go to Utah State I think they will stick together. That makes me really happy.
