Huge BlendTec Blender

James and I both got some new Sunday clothes so I wanted to have a picture with my handsome boy. I bought my blue shirt from DI a few weeks ago when Shanna and I went shopping together to find her some clothes.  James and I found 2 pairs of Sunday pants for him from DI as well for $6 each and i just had to hem them.  He is growing up so fast.  He was happy to have pants that fit.  I used my store credit from missionary returns from down east to get the navy skirt.  

 Dad and I visited Grandma Stanley on Monday.  She is doing pretty well.  She is at Stonehenge care center in Orem.  She was cute in her yellow flower shirt.  I brought some of Dad's birthday cake to share with her.  She was thrilled and shared some with Dad and Robert who was there as well.  She has physical therapy every day and has to take pain medication before it so she wont have so much pain.  She says everything she does is hard and she cant make trips to the bathroom without help.

 Dad and I went to Blendtec when we were down in Orem to get a replacement lid for my blender.  I had to show you a pic of the entry to the building.  haha! it was pretty cool.  It is a huge facility.  It is just down the street from Michelles apartment past Geneva Road.  They have a restaurant called the Bistro so we went in there to check it out.  Mostly it is a cafeteria style place for the employees but it is open to the public.  They have lots of fried foods and a salad bar and a smoothie menu.  We got some smoothies.

 I also was able to babysit for Charlotte this week while Shanna went to an appointment and grocery shopping.  She is a very bright spot in my week.  What a sweet angel she is.  I love every moment I get with her.  She is getting so big already.

We painted James room yesterday.  James helped me.  Dad did most of the prep before he went to work this week.  I will take and send pictures once we get it all cleaned up and get him moved in.  He is excited.  Friday kaye and I were able to go to grandma and grandpa J's to help.  Then once I got home and got James to soccer practice then I went to the temple for initiatories.   Saturday night we had the sushi night at Francine and Adam Wright's house.  We bought the sushi dinner at the youth fundraiser 2 or 3 years in a row.  Dad wasn't able to go and I had to leave early to get james to his game.  Adam is really nice and makes plant based sushi for me with sweet potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, avocado and different combinations of each.  After James game we came home and fed the boys again and watched (with eyes closed) a movie.  Barb Kluger was called to be the primary chorister and she did it for the first time today.  She did great but she was really nervous.  We are getting new families in our ward every week.  They are building houses in the area on the west side of our neighborhood and they are in our ward.  There are expected to be 150 new families within the year.
