Tanner Flats

Jorja stopped home this morning to pick up another blanket. They had gone to lunch at McDonalds, so they were near by. They are camping at Tanner Flats which is about twenty minutes away. Jorja has a student government thing today. She felt bad about missing the first thing, but she had already planned this trip with her friends. I told her that I would pick her up if she decided she wanted to go. She ended up deciding she didn't want to miss this. I went and picked her up. It was fun to see her. She had been having a fun time. They went hiking and saw Ellie on the trail. After the long meeting, she went with Riley, Bode, Sadler, Dawson, Ryan, Ella and Janelle to Pepperwood park and had pizza. Riley and Dawson took her back to the campground. Jorja went to Black Bear diner for dinner with Hailey and Allison. She texted me from the restaurant. It is the first time she has been back since her 15 year birthday dinner. She had such a bad experience she couldn't stand going back. She's in a much better place now and is ready to make new memories.

Mike and I have been wondering what to get Maysen for a college graduation present. Although we would love to get her something really cool, like a car, we can't do that right now. I talked to her last night about what she would want. We decided to get her a lot of little things. Running shoes, water bottle, fix her cracked cell phone screen... things like that. When Jorja and I were at Scheels to get Mike's water bottle, I saw one that I knew Maysen would love. At least I hope she does. Jorja and I went back to Scheels today, and it was GONE! We did find it on the hydroflask website, and it was the same price, so we have it ordered and it should get here Monday.

Jorja had her PLT closing social today. They got 'most likely' awards from last year, and the new members were welcomed. Jorja was a part of the 'White' family last year and she is this year too. This year Jorja and Luke are team captains. Jorja had a lot of fun last year and I hope she gets to experience this again. Fingers crossed corona will slow down!

 Perfect 'Most Likely' award for Jorja

Jorja met up with Riley for yogurt. He got back early this morning from Lake Powell. Then she headed off to camping with Hailey and Allison. They were waiting on our porch for Jorja. I went out and found them and brought them inside. They met two boys from another campsite. I don't know their names, but they were twins and a grade younger than these girls. They came over and asked if they could play cards with the girls. Jorja said it was really fun.

I saw a message on Jorja's phone about the young women activity. It was to come over to Sister Christensen's house to sign a poster for the graduates, then to watch the parade. I hadn't heard about the parade. I didn't worry about it because I knew Jorja wouldn't be there. I didn't realize they would have an activity this week. Anyway, I saw a lot of posts about it on Instagram. It looked so cool! All the high school graduates that live in Pepperwood were able to have a little parade. They got them all scooters and they rode down Pepperwood Drive, which is about a mile and a half I think. Anyway, it looked like the kids loved it. It was really cute to see all the graduation gowns flapping in the breeze. I took a couple of screen shots. What a fun memory for those seniors!

Classroom Safe

Jorja and a few of her friends headed to the canyon to take pictures. I helped Jorja get ready for the day. It was going to be a long one. Mike made cinnamon rolls for Jorja to take, we got her work stuff ready and then found her hippie costume so she could go to her PLT party after work.

Jorja worked for eight hours and then headed to her PLT party. She called us on the way. She did not want to go. She hates parties. I told her to go anyway. She was there for one minute when she texted 'This is so awkward" "I hate parties" I told her to give it a chance and find Jaren. About five minutes later she texted "I'm fine now I moved seats. I'm by Jaren." There are some people that calm Jorja just with their presence. I love those people. Jaren is one of them. Jorja ended up having a great time.

On a completely unrelated note. I saw these at the store. Who would market this candy as 'classroom safe'? There are going to be people that believe this. What about the people allergic to milk or eggs? Just in my family that is Larkin, Blake and Skye. I actually love Sixlets, but this packaging is awful.

Maysen is TWENTY-TWO

Mike was excited to get a picture of his jeep getting 200,000 miles. We got this jeep when I was pregnant with Stockton. The pictures are cool, but wow his jeep is dirty. Also, he took these pictures while going 50 mph!!! What the heck!

Mike and I drove up to Logan to take Maysen out to dinner. We wanted to get her car registered too. She met us at Jiffy Lube. Too bad their emission testing thing was down. They said it would be up tomorrow at 9:00. That doesn't do us much good. Maysen gets to figure out how to do this grown up thing. Fun. Anyway, hanging out with Maysen was great. We went to dinner at Angie's. Maysen opened up her car shield thing and nice mittens for sledding. We went grocery shopping and then Mike worked on Maysen's computer for a bit. I'm not sure everything he was doing, but I'm pretty sure he got her to be able to play Minecraft with Preston. We drove two cars to this cute little shop called Sweet Scrolls, or something like that. We shared an ice-cream and it was delicious. Then we gave Maysen a hug and drove home. Man I miss that girl.

Today was Alta's last home football game. Jorja went with Hailey, Emily and Allison. She had a great time. She was still gone when we got home. She was hanging out at Hailey's house. She came home as soon as we told her we were home. I'm glad she was able to spend time with these girls. She really wanted to go to a football game with them...and was excited to get a front row spot.
