Charlotte's Sleepover

This week has been packed with great stuff.  Monday Dad and i just did yard work and a marathon of other things to get caught up from working on our room for the past few weeks.  Tuesday we helped Christian and Shanna and Charlotte move from Provo back to the Roth's basement! Wednesday Charlotte got dropped off for her first sleep over her without her Mom and Dad!  They had a getaway before graduation etc.  Charlotte did great.  She went with me to Jacobs game at HHS and then to pack meeting at the church.  She was sick of that so we had to leave early and come home and get her a bath and ready for bed.  She slept pretty good for a pretty long stretch of the night.  She woke up at 4 am and then i fed her a bottle and she was back to sleep by 5 am.  I laughed because i looked at my watch at 4:46 am when every single one of the 6 of us that were at our home at that time were awake.  I was up with Charlotte of course.  Charlotte's screaming woke up "Buddy"! Buddy woke up james so james took buddy out to the potty.  Jacob had a 5 am road drive session and Dad was taking him to that before he went to work.  It is funny! Charlotte and James, buddy and I all got to go back to sleep for a few more hours though!  haha!  Thursday went pretty fast! Charlotte and i got to go on a walk with my friends.  Then we got ready and cleaned up and i packed up everything from charlotte and drove to Roth's house and went down to Provo to meet up with Christian and Shanna for graduation.  It was cool to see the BYU graduation.  There were 6300 graduates.   The graduation was in 2 parts.  For 45 minutes the graduates were walking in and being seated in the mariott center and then they had some great speakers.  Jeffery R. Holland spoke and i cant remember the names of the other people.  He gave an amazing talk as always.  I love to hear him speak.  Sesuo Oldroyds Mom posted on face book later that they were in the Marriott center for the BYU graduation the same time as we were.  I wish I would have known so i could have met Sesuo Oldroyds family. Where do they live Michelle?




 After everything they have been through, Starlee still graduated with her Masters from BYU!

 Breakfast that i made on Saturday! Dad was gone to work already and the boys refuse to eat almost anything i make.

The next day was the 2nd part of the graduation and I was not able to go because Jacob had a game at the same time.  Dad went to the 2nd part of graduation where they called each of the names and they each received their diplomas.  Jacob did well in the game.  He is really hard on himself when he makes mistakes but i think he is doing really well over all.  He really likes the team dinners!  Saturday i worked hard to get all of my chores done and encourage the boys to do some chores as well.

Today was a great day.  We went to American Fork for Starlee's baby blessing.  It is such a blessing and a miracle that all of that even happened.  Starlee and her family will move to Las Vegas this week and live in Mckays parents house and Mckay will start a new job there this summer.  It. was great to see everyone there.

At our ward, we got there early for sacrament meeting so that we could get a seat.  Riley Conover gave her farewell talk at church.  She did amazing.  She is going to Brazil.  She will fly to Brazil MTC in a few weeks.  I put your email addresses on her list.  The scripture that she spoke about is D&C 45:64 i think.  "Great things await you"  I am drawing a blank as to the rest of the content of her talk but she is so excited and energetic about her mission and so excited to go!  We had the Myers over for dinner tonight and then we went over and visited with the Conovers to visit for a little bit.  Busy day but so many good things.
