Mission Shopping for Nick

 We decided we needed to get started shopping for Nick's Mission.  We headed to Modern Missionary. I heard that was a good store.  We checked it out and liked their stuff.  Nick got a suit, golf pants (yes, golf pants that stretch),  4 of these cool stretch dress shirts, shoes and a tie.  We are waiting for another pair of golf pants to come in stock before we buy those too.  

Brooke came with us too.  We decided tos top at this Ice Cream shop since I fed NIck on the way to the store.  I was so good.  Love me some waffle cones.  

We didn't get any pictures in the store since we were so focused on the shopping.  

We also had to stop at Dirty Dough.  We have never been there and they are being sued by Crumbl for being similar.  So of course we had to try them out.  

I did use my crumbl cutter to cut them.   I liked them maybe more than crumbl. 

Here's the tie we picked out.  Love these bombora ties they have.  He got one last time too.

Cool Stretch shirts that have a green top button

All the Shirts and shoes 

It all fit in this bag. We get to pick up the suit and pants after they are hemmed. We still have a long ways to go.  

Phone shopping is next

Driver License - The Last One

 Jack passed his driving test in Drivers Ed so all we had to do was go to the DMV and get his license.  Well, and pay the 39.00.  He is off and driving.  Kindof wierd that he drives himself to football and I don't even need to worry about when that is.  The first time in many many years.  

He does seem to ask me for food money on the way home still.

We have been shopping for NIck and here's his Luggage list.  

I'm still sort of going strong on the bike for my new knee.  

AND I got a new fridge for the garage.  My old one gave up the ghost and has been sitting there for a while.  Mitchell had some extra fridges for a job he was doing.  He needed to get rid of them so he delivered them and took the old one to the dump for me.  Andrew did a good job and helped him.  

And I have gotten some golf in.  Round Valley in Morgan is still one of my favorites.  Doesn't look so great here, but Love it.  It has been so hot but still nice in Morgan

4th of July

 

Fourth of July was uneventful for me.  Brooke found these Happy Corg of July socks so she had to wear them in honor of her corgie dog.  I wore my pair too.  I just didn't take a picture.

Andrew and I crashed Michelle's 4th of July Party and her water slide.  It was fun to sit and watch all the kids waterslide.  We had almost as many dogs as we did children.  

I didn't get many pics.  I'm taking less and less pictures.  

Then I got home and this was in the fridge next to my pasta salad that Jim left me. She made a pasta salad for her 4th of July party with Ty's family.  

I didn't even go to a fireworks show.  

Random

 I have been going to the Planet Fitness sometimes.  When I remember.  That is an old joke that our grandma just forgot to go to the Planet during Christmas.  Just forgot.  Anyway, I have been trying to go to use the exercise bike for my new knee.  

Then I went to the Dentist with Brooke and this was on Mark's whiteboard.  Looks just like him.  

And I have been growing a garden.  Doing pretty good.  Might even get some tomatoes if we are lucky!

And we finally got Nick ready for the temple with a signature temple bag that all the old men use.  

St. George

 We stayed in St. George and had the Breakfast at the hotel.  It is usually super crowded so we don't always eat it but today it was not that crowded.  There is Nick eating Bisquits and gravy.  Not sure where he learned to like that. I have never made it.  

After breakfast, we were leaving town and decided we needed to go to Zeppe's before we left.  On our way, we were stopped at a red light and it turned green and the cars hasn'd moved in front of us and the car behind us ran right into us.  UGH.  

I don't think it is that bad, the back still opens, and we were able to drive home.  No one was hurt. I think the driver was on his phone and just didn't see we hadn't moved yet.  He got two tickets for following too close and dangerous stop.  I felt bad because that will cost him a fortune in tickets and in insuarance prices for the next while.  

We did end up going to zeppe's.  It was about 3 minutes away.  We pulled over to eat it at the mall and saw this wall to take pictures.  

Brooke was there too but I think Nick must have taken them on her phone.  Cute backdrops on the back side of the mall.  

I Love To See The Temple

 

Nick is going on a mission.  Nick needed to to go the temple to receive his Endowment.  He asked Brody to be his escort.  We ventured down to Cedar City to meet Brody who lives in St. George.  The St. George temple is being renovated.  

Brooke got Nick ready and helped him get his clothes.  She did a great job.  Abi got his shoes (since the distribution center is out of them) and I got the belt and the temple bag.  

Nick was so ready.  Brody was so fabulous to go with him.  

We stayed in St. George at our favorite Hotel with the great swimming pool.  We also had some Cafe Rio by the pool Nick and Brody picked up on their way back from Cedar City.  No pictures.  I'm kidof forgetting to take them.  

  

Father's Day

 

Father's Day is my favorite hoiday.  Because it requires no effort on my part.  My dad is dead and I'm divorced. However, my kids celebrate father's day with me.  It is because I am the Mother and the Father.  

Andrew got us Cafe Rio for dinner.  Always a winner.  

I saw this on Instagram.

And they gave me a wagon for hauling our stuff to the Bear Lake.  Absolutely

LOVE it. 

 I just love that they remember me.  And hopefully I did something right along the way with them.

I do feel bad every single day that they didn't have a better father figure.  That part was missing for their entire growing up.  I am glad and grateful that they seem to have done well in spite of my short comings in the father department.  :
