So, Crazy week. Again. You should all be used to it by now. and just know that missions are crazy. 24/7. haha. :)

yup. so where to start? maybe with Monday. Halloween!! We had to be inside by six so we ended up building a dresser because none of the ones in our flat have the drawers attached. we keep them under the bed instead. so  yup. one is built and one more to go. we just need another three hours to spare to build that one too! it may not get done until New Years' Eve..... haha. also watched the face2face with studio C- its been too long! miss that show..

Tuesday. regular crazy day... umm. not much really happened. except the usual. though nobody was home.. hmm. we also helped the ward sell poppies in Morrisons (a grocery store) because everyone needs a poppy!

*to explain poppies: it this charity that started with WWI and it used to help veterans and fallen soldiers' graves and stuff like that and so every year around Nov 11 everyone buys a poppy and wears it and I think there's even a minute of silence to remember the soldiers. so yeah. good finding opportunity and also we're serving our fellow men.*

Wednesday: met our absolutely nuts less active- but seriously made our day. who else would tell us he's Joseph Smith and Adam? hahahaha. and that Adam got shot with a ray gun after the dinosaurs tipped a tree on top of him??? haha.

Thursday was the usual again. the week always goes by so fast and the days were forever ago!! district meeting in Blackwood. (their chapel is always freezing!!) and then just the usual stuff like finding and teaching.

Friday. what an interesting day. we got a new investigator that we had met a few days before on our way to visit other people. taught him a lesson and it was way good! we're excited about it! then we ran to our lunch appt. with a member and helped her sort through her hundreds of poems.....about smoking... (don't smoke, guys, it kills you).... fun stuff. :) we also had a good night that night by finding a really cute potential. her house is amazing. mint and silver and we should see her tomorrow night. (prayers please!!)

Saturday. how do I describe Saturday? well, I mentioned we were helping selling poppies, and so our zone sold them that morning 9-3. loooong day in Cardiff city centre. :) but, it was also a lot of fun. at one point we ended up right in front of the rugby stadium when wales was about to play Australia. SO MANY PEOPLE!! and so many people offered us tickets inside, too. sister Carson ended up holding one in her hand and she decided to sell if off for £15. the temptation was real..

afterwards we met up with Brandon, our investigator and watched the fireworks from Caerphilly castle with him. cold, but worth it. though it was so cold and pretty late that we didn't end up getting to teach him.. yup. so why were there fireworks? some guy (Guy Fawkes) decided to try and blow up parliament and now everyone celebrates with their own bonfires, and now just fireworks.)
And Sunday. church was good. the law of chastity lesson in gospel principles was as awkward as ever. we invited ourselves (the ward invited all, so we went) to watch the teaching in the saviours way thing with elder Holland and it was good. I actually got lots of advice on what we should be doing better to improve teaching skills. I loved the part when he talked about having charity, and if you are struggling with that start with your love of God and work from there because love grow!

yup. I don't think this email does any justice to the excitement of the week, but oh well. 

love you all and hope your week goes well! don't get too cold!
love, 

-Sister Wadsworth :)

I would send pictures but the computer at the library doesn't like me and its going to kick me off soon so maybe later, I dunno! sorry!

1. fireworks

2. Cardiff poppy selling

3. autumn time!! ​

​

lets not think too far ahead right now. I don't know what I'm doing with life afer I get home... we had the time change last week. the extra hour was sooo nice. :) what is the play and why does it need pigeons?? they are worse than rabbits. (I hate pigeons....)

that so suprising that they got married!! its so weird. kind of shocked me.... I don't know how to process that information. ..

sister carson is completely different than me, but we get along really well. I love wales its so pretty.. I think you would like it here. its always cold and there are lots of trees. :)

what happened to that byui letter you were going to send me?? I never got it but I need to start working on school stuff..

love you so much mom!!

Dear girls, (I would spell all your names out, but I'm too lazy)

It is November, why does time fly by so fast?  Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, New Year's, and then BAM! March.  Rachel comes home.

So here are the happenings of the week.

Monday:  I took the kids to school, then came home and slept.  It was very nice.  I'm glad I took the day off, because there is no way I could have tended kids while being in so much pain.  I did manage to get some sewing done, but I mostly slept.  

Natty got stuck riding the bus.  She hates the bus.  She went with Irish after school, and then they hung out and helped with the Halloween carnival and went trick or treating.  Jacques came home after football and did homework.  Benson went to Landen's and did whatever they did.  

Tuesday:  Back to the grind.  Completely off the heavy duty pain pills.  Just ibuprofen.  I only had Ryder and Reiko, so it was a pretty easy day.  

Wednesday:  Full house.  But the kids entertain each other.  We had pizza for dinner.  Scouts and YW, then home and bed.

Thursday:  Another full house.  But once again, they entertain each other.  Reiko wasn't here.  He didn't feel well yesterday, and stayed home today.  Made 4 pigeon costumes for the play.  Feeling LOTS better.

Friday:  Worked on a t-shirt quilt.  All day.  Took Natty down to the bus for her pride trip to St. George.  Laser Mania or something like that.  She had fun, but came home with a headache.  So she skipped pep band.  Dad and I went to the football game.  First play-off game against Lake Mead.  We creamed them 44-0.  The second quarter took forever.  Lots of injury time outs and regular time outs.  I finally went and sat in Teri's truck with her and grandma.  Lots warmer and more fun.  Dad sat on the bleachers.  Jacques had some really great tackles.  One of the injured players was one he took down.

After the game, we came home and got your dad ready for work.  He was so tired, he said he stopped twice to take naps, and then had another one when he got to his trailer.  He will miss the next games, so he really wanted to be here for this one.

Saturday:  Worked on quilts again.  Finished both of them.  We did some house cleaning, and Jacques puttered around outside most of the day.  He found some bees, and has been trying to locate their hive.  You should see him walking around in the bee suit he borrowed from Ellen Pearson.  Quite the sight!

Sunday:  Benson was in charge of changing a tire before we left for church.  But the old jack died, and the new one dad left for us to use isn't quite tall enough.  It took over an hour, and we were nearly late for church.  

Church was good.  There were a lot of people gone, so it looked pretty empty.  Brother Ed Wright and Madge Cude got married yesterday.  They were both at church, and she was all flustered and scatterbrained.  

We did some patriotic songs for Veteran's Day and Election Day in singing time.  It was so cool when the sr. primary sang "The Star Spangled Banner" (there were only 9 kids) they sounded like a whole room full of kids.  the angels must have been singing with them again.  I love my calling!

The time changed today.  So we got to sleep in a little bit.  Except I forgot to change the clocks around the house.  Or remind the kids.  Jacques got up to shower at his usual time, but now it was an hour earlier.  He must have woke Natty up. so she got up and ready.  All this while I am in bed enjoying my extra hour, because I knew that my cell phone would change by itself, and adjust the alarm for me.  

That is our world.  So now tell us all about yours.  How are you liking Wales?  Are you near the sea?  What is Sister Carson like?  Do you get along?  Is it getting cold?  do you have enough clothes to keep you warm?  I need to mail you Christmas package this week, so let me know of anything you need.  I know, I know.  Music.  I'm working on it.

I talked to Chelsey, Cami, and Ally, and Dad tonight.  I felt like I was on the phone all evening.  Everyone sounds happy, and working hard.  

I love you all.  You all are such good examples to me and to all of us here at home.  Where life is sometimes pretty easy.  

Love you. Be careful.

Happy Halloween everyone,
I feel like I say this every week but what's one more week? What a crazy week!!
It was thrown off a lot by a trunky meeting right in the middle of it.
To explain what that means, it's like a "now you only have six months
or so left on your mission so it's time to start thinking about
college and life and being self reliant again" meeting. Yup. What
every missionary wants to hear. ... in Birmingham... and we had to
train 🚂 back home... to wales... (but I'm not complaining, so it's
fine😊) #madeithomebynine
But other than that sister Carson and I have had a really great week.
Mostly. Except when everyone flogged and cancelled on us in one day
and nobody else was home, and a bird had a really great target
practice 💩and when we had basically no money this whole week due to a
few trips to the mission home this month. And waiting from 10-1 for a
delivery that did not decide to show up until five till 1.  But other
than that it was a really great week.
My favourite part of this week was being able to see our new
investigator completely unplanned. And when a less active told us he
believed hat he was Adam and god killed him with a ray gun. (multiple
lives) and that he was also Joseph smith. Also that our bus right
after that was super late but because of that we avoided one of our
investigators angry grandpa and found some way cool potentials.😎👊
miracles happen everyday.
Other highlights were teaching Brandon because he's he coolest of our
teaching pool (and the only one progressing) and having pizza 🍕 more
for dinner more nights than not this week. #fivedaystreak
#disntthinkidbesickofpizza also kinda of never want to see lasagna
again...

Missionary work is the greatest thing. I love it so much and the
people are truly the greatest.
Love you all and have a fantastic week!!
Sister Wadsworth 😎

Sorry your in pain. I love you. 

I was not aware that Tyler and Shayla were a thing, but they look cute. 

That's so sad. I was not thinking I would not have that much time to be home. I was looking forward to seeing everyone. (Most parents have either sent their missionaries the travel arrangements or the release date. Thank for being an obedient mom) 

I love you and miss you!! Get better soon!!  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear Rachel, Chelsey, Cami, and Ally,

So, how are you this week?  Rachel, I love the castle!  How cool to just look out your window and have a castle!

We have had a pretty good week here.  A new quarter started at school, so not too much pressure or homework yet.

Natty had a band concert this week.  They did pretty good. I've heard better, and I've heard worse.  Middle school only has 3 trumpet players, and they sounded good.

Monday I got called in to help with costumes for the Christmas play.  They are doing "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause" and it will have 8 different Santas from around the world.  Plus some talking pigeons.  I have done a good job of putting it off, but I HAVE to get to it tomorrow.

Wednesday was pretty miserable for me.  I had to stop eating for my surgery on Thursday.  So I was hungry all day.  I could drink, but not eat.  Then I had to drink this nasty, nasty cleansing stuff to clean me out.  YUCK!!!!!! 

Thursday was no school for Nevada Day Observed (which is really on Friday, but we don't have school on Fridays, so we get Thursday off).  Dad and I left for Cedar at 5 am.  My surgery was at 9:30 or so, and it went well.  (Hemorrhoids)

Now my bum hurts.  We stopped at Arby's to eat on the way home, and the car died.  So typical for us.  

I was able to hitch a ride with Louann Wilbur, who had an unexpected delay in town, or she would have been half way home already.  Lovely little miracle, that.  Dad stayed in Cedar and rounded up some help from Lehi and Moroni and my Uncle Dennis and Aunt Kara.  He did get the starter and alternator changed and made it home the next day.  I made it to Panaca in time for the football game.  It was Jacques senior night, so I hobbled out on the field with him.  Teri and Grandma hovered just in case I was going to fall over.  The game was a blow out.  We won 61-6.  so we play again next week for play offs.  then probably state the week after that.  Then basketball starts.

So anyway, I am sincerely grateful for little blessings and miracles.  And family and friends who do so much.  

After all that, I spent the weekend sleeping and recovering.  Dad made it back to work a day late.  But that's what sick days are for.  

I stayed home today, so Derek and Shayla did singing time for me.  Grandma said they did good.  I wish I could have been there to see them.  

That's about it here.

Rachel, you got a letter from BYU-I.  You start the spring semester on april17, I think.  I will try to send a pic of the letter.

Moroni finally popped the question to Clara.  I assume that she said yes.  Lehi and Artell are expecting.  Camden and Jeanette and Mariah and her husband both had their babies.  Both girls.

The wind is howling like crazy here.  Not much rain today.  I understand I slept through a pretty good rainstorm the other day.

I love you all.  Remember to count your blessings.  And to be grateful.  

Love you, love you, love you, love you!!!!

Dear everyone,
This week has been basically the same as every other week of my
mission, with the exception of a few things.
1) there's a castle literally across the street from our flat. 🏰You know I have never met reiko... but he looks cute. 

I remember homecoming. I actually hated dressing up, but I did it to win. 😊 

I miss Dutch oven food!  

Primary programs are the best! So was Elder cook. We were all together, which has only happened twice now in the ebm since I've been here. So not a lot. Mostly only for general authorities. 

Love you mom!

Dear Rachel, Ally, Cami, and Chelsey,

Hi.  How are you?  I am fine.  I hope you are too.  (remember when writing letters was that easy?)

So, a busy week.  Monday, Natty had school, but the boys didn't.  

Tuesday, Powder Puff game.  Seniors and Freshmen won.  Jacques danced.  I sent the video to Rachel, but I will send it to the rest of you.  No one really did the dress up days here.  Natty doesn't like to, and the boys don't either.

Wednesday, I had the day off.  I went to the doctor in Cedar.  I have hemerroids, and will have them removed next week.  Fun.  

Grandma went with me, and we had fun.  Lunch at DQ, and shopping.  You can't beat that.

Thursday was just a normal day.  And the bonfire.  Natty and I elected to stay home.  They had it in the gravel pit this year instead of in the usual place.  

Friday, the boys had school.  I took them down, and then came home and took a 3 hour nap.  I was really tired.  Then I finally finished the quilt I was working on for Jesse Mathews.  Then we went to the football game.  Oh, boy.  that was a good game.  We were way behind at half time, and then came back.  We got ahead, then they made a touchdown, and I thought for sure we had lost.  But, lo, and behold, we came back with another touch down.  There were a few seconds left on the clock, so Needles had a chance to try to come back, but we held them.  They even put 1 second back on the clock at the end.  It was a nail biter for sure, but we did it.  It's a good thing, too, cuz who wants to lose the homecoming game?

benson was Jr. class royalty.  He was actually runner up, but Noah Bailey had to work, so he was it.  

Saturday, was a hectic morning.  Benson went to St. George with his friends, and had to be in Pioche by 8.  Jacques had the ACT, and had to be in Panaca by 8.  I went with Grandma Frehner up to pick pinenuts with all her brothers and sisters.  They had their brother/sister reunion in Cedar on Friday, then continued it over here on Saturday.  Teri and Kerry made Mulligan stew and dutch oven biscuits for them.  I was moral support.  

Your dad had to leave for work on Saturday, so I made a couple of sandwiches before I left, and then Natty helped him with the rest.  She is also his new typist, since all the rest of you have left.  

Today was the Primary program.  The kids did so AWESOME!!!  During practices, I  tried to get them to all stand up together when they sang, but you know how they are.  so I just didn't worry too much about it.  Then for the first song today, as the music started, they all looked at me and stood up all together!  I was in shock.  Then they did it for every song.  And they sang their little hearts out.  Even the little ones were singing.  They had the nursery kids come up and sing Book of Mormon Stories with the Sunbeams at the beginning.  Canon decided that he would just stay up there for the rest of the program.  He even lined up at the podium for a speaking part.  It was funny watching Marie watch him.

Natty had YW in Excellence tonight.  Sister Lamb is such and awesome YW president.  Marinda was in charge, but her mom spoke, and you could just tell that she sincerely loved all the YW.  Ally was in a few of the pictures in the slide show, and Chelsey, too.  

that's about all the news here.  It is raining.  YEah!!  Maybe the dirt road won't be so dusty in the morning.  

Rachel, how are things in Wales?  Tell us about your area, and your new companion.  And how was Elder Cook?  Did you all meet together, or video conference, or what?  It would be difficult to call in all the missionaries at the same time, wouldn't it?

Chelsey, good luck at your new job tomorrow.  Walk fast.

Cami and Ally, work hard in school.  

All of you, be good, and be safe.

I love you!

Okay so don't freak out, but p day has temporarily moved to Saturday
to accommodate an apostle coming. Elder cook will be speaking to us on
Monday so p day is today! And transfers were yesterday. 😢

Both sister mwoyosvi and I have been moved to Wales. We cried.
Miracles happened last week (literally  miracles. Three referrals in
the space of 24 hours!!- also Alex our new investigator) and we did
not want to leave them in the hands of the sister training leaders who
are moving into Stamford. (Missions are crazy) Stamford will always
keep a piece of my heart. ❤️❤️ maybe I'll come back in 50 years. 😊 or
before that.

Yup. So now I'm in Caerphilly. With sister Carson. She's been out as
long as sister mwoyosvi has been. It'll be a fun transfer. Actually
what I keep thinking about is one conversation we had once about
wells, (in Nevada those those that don't know) and Wales the country.
Never thought I would end up here. I had almost given up on ordering a
Welsh name tag. 😉 also I keep thinking about how much I want so Wales
(like the goldfish crackers..)
Sorry for the short email, its a Saturday.
Love ya lots!!
Sister Wadsworth 😊

October 10, 2016

Greetings all!! 😊

How should I describe this last week to you? It's definitely been an
interesting one.
Maybe I'll start off with Tuesday, still bussing, we decided to go and
see Emma, our recent convert's mom. Because Emma is 9, so she was in
school.... but our visit was good, though the busses are slow in this
particular area.. and afterwards we took the same bus 🚌 to uppingham.
We were going to get a lift home from the members who lived there but
they couldn't do that until about 7, so we did lots of finding in that
area...

Wednesday , the Peterborough sisters took us (and the car) to Notts
for my test--- and I PASSED!!! What a relief it has been to be driving
again (did you know that England has one of the hardest driving tests
to pass in the world??!)

Thursday, a zone conference to be trained on the poppy appeal

And Friday was a funeral for a member of Stamford who had passed away.
But-- also a miracle happened, so Alex always walked by the church on
his way home, and one day he saw the door open and went inside where
he met the relief society president and this member who died's
husband, who told him a bit about the church gave him a Book of Mormon
and invited him to come celebrate the life of dee. Which he did, and
then Noel, dee's husband introduced him to US, and it was sososososo
cool. I can't wait to see where this miracle goes. 😊😊 please pray
for this guy!!

Saturday, my cold finally got the best of me... and Sunday was a good
"fast & sacrament meeting" as president Edwards called it... haha.
Other news to look forward to is that transfers are changed to
Friday.. because Elder cook is coming!! My girl is going to be a fully
trained missionary by Friday. I wish I could tell you if I was going
or not, but we won't know until Wednesday.
Love you 😘 lots❤️❤️
Cheers from sister Wadsworth 😉

That stinks. I really just miss the temple. 
If it makes you feel better for exercise this morning we cleaned our fridge. Haha. It was gross!! 
Hmm.. do you think you could also start trying to find me a job?? Money isn't important but it sure makes things easier.. and so do cars. But you also need money for that.. 😊

Love you!!

Dear Rachel, Cami, Chelsey, and Ally,
Another week.  It took a few days to recover from last weekend, but I finally feel normal again.  Monday was pretty rough becuase I just wanted to sleep, and the littles wouldn't let me.  but we powered through and here we are.
I think I had a different combination of kids everyday last week.  Reiko was the only one that was here everyday on his usual schedule.  On Thursday, we had an "adventure day".  I took Ryder, Canon, and Reiko up to Echo and we walked halfway across the dam and then climbed down to the water and threw rocks.  They loved it!  They would try to get some big rocks, then make me throw them in, or try to do it themselves, and the rocks would just sort of slowly roll into the water with hardly a splash.  Then we went to the bridge and ran across it and threw some more rocks.  They loved that we had "two adbentures".  then after preschool, we went to Grandma's and played with her outside toys.  They were happy boys!
Natty taught FHE this week.  We have started to go through the Nursery manual for lessons.  We learned that Heavenly Father has a plan for us.  Benson has this week.  He has been pretty good about joining us.  He even participates and encourages us to get it started, so it can get over with, so he can do his homework.  
Not much else happened during the week.  Jacques had a football game on Friday in Laughlin.  They won 48-0.  I tried to listen to it on the computer, but the computer kept cutting out, so I finally gave up.  I headed down to Panaca to pick Jacques up at 1:30 or so, but the didn't get there til about 3.  I was worried I'd fall asleep and not wake up in time, so I just went and waited.  
Friday, also, Teri and Natty and I (and Teri's 3 adopted grandkids) went pinenut picking.  We had a lot of fun.  I love being up in the mountains, and to be with my sister and Natty was a lot of fun.  I picked about an ice cream bucket full, but when I got home and washed and "floated" them, I only ended up with about half a bucket.  The ones that float aren't any good.  
Saturday Jacques had his Eagle project.  I'm still not to sure what he did, but I took him in at 8 ish and he told me to just come back at noon with lunch for everyone.  They went out and pulled out some old mining claim markers somewhere near Pioche.  there were 5 boys from Panaca, Camden, John Condie, Joseph Lamb, Paul Graf, Charles Graf (Lauralynn's brothers) and Dann Mathews.  I took in stuff for sandwiches on homemade rolls, chips, soda, and  cookies.  I forgot to throw the little table in the car, so they had to use the tailgate of one of the trucks to fix their food on.  Now Jacques just needs to get all the paperwork done, and he will be an Eagle Scout.  
Benson has decided that he won't do the orphanage project for his Eagle project.  He wants to fix up the shooting range in Pioche.  The push is on.  They will both be 18 soon.
After the project, we came home and Jacques got ready for the Renaissance Festival.  He got to be the priest.  He asked me to make him a hat thingy to go with his costume, but I put it off until the very last minute.  We stopped at the store and bought poster board and glue, then went to the auditorium to but it together.  It turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.  I should have taken a picture.
I didn't stay for the dinner.  After being up til 3 the night before, I was really dragging.  So I came home and called it a day.  Benson, Natty, and I just chilled.  We watched The Black Cauldron.  It was the Halloweeniest movie we could come up with.  I didn't even wait up for Jacques, but told Natty to turn the lights off when he got home. 
I almost forgot to tell you that I saw Craig.  He is working at the store in Panaca.  We had a nice chat (he actually came and talked to me!) twice.  We did miss his homecoming talk.  He snuck it in before anyone knew he was home.  Sneaky.
That's about it.  The house is still a mess, because we are always too tired at the end of the day to clean, and weekends have been crazy.  Mostly we just clean the top layer and call it good.  It is starting to bug me, though, so I am going to have to take care of it soon.
So, all of you need to write and tell me what is going on in your lives.  
Rachel, tell Sister Myoviojlsjfie? that I loved her letter, I wrote back to her finally, but I couldn't find the right words to say.  
Also, you mentioned wanting to go to the temple even before coming home, but I asked for you to fly in to Cedar so you could see the temple there, and it won't be open by then.  sorry.
I love you all.  I pray for you every day.  It is so weird that sometimes when I am praying for you I ask for things for yo that I wouldn't normally say.  I know that Heavenly Father is aware of your needs, and somehow, I know what to ask for.  It doesn't happen a lot, but enough that I have really noticed it.
good night. or good morning. or afternoon.  
Love you!!!

Hello everyone!!
It's been another week, and again not the greatest of weeks. But there
have been highlights.
Actually just one. We finally caught the bus to get to Bourne (it took
a few tries...) and were able to spend the day working there. 😄😄😄
Another blessing is seeing the members concern for us. We ran into one
the other day in Stamford and we felt so bad because it is just so
hard to visit her!! Life would be easier with a car, but then what
would I be learning this transfer? And to be honest, it has taught me
so SO much.
And something else also has this week: conference!! Always what I need
to hear, a rebuke here and there. All good things. Spirit has been
felt and notes have been taken. Though I will never get used to the
times and not being able to watch the last session on Sunday...
Favourite talks include president nelson's on JOY, and elder eyring's talk.
Between sessions we were able to do some service for the poppy appeal.
They employed the Leicester zone to do it between the Saturday
afternoon session (at 1-3) and the Sunday morning session (starting at
5). It was fun. Lots of poppies were involved.
That's really all the exciting stuff to tell you. And that winter is
slowly making its way over. Poor sister mwoyosvi!! Haha Zimbabwe
climate is definitely NOT the English one.
Yup. So I love you all and miss you (although I do still really love
England) hope you have the greatest of weeks.
Much peace and blessings to each of you,
Sister Wadsworth 😊🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧😎
1) the bus....notice how nobody else is using it....
2) I made this sadza with my own two hands (and a wooden spoon and
lots of arm muscle, but NO help from sister mwoyosvi, besides
instructions..)
3) sister mwoyosvi biking on the roads the first time. ( practice for
when she moves to a bike area)

I was thinking of you when someone compared the gospel to a puzzle.. 😊😄 that's so exciting that peyton is walking!! Craig said that all he was doing for at least a week was sleeping... which reminds me that when I get home the first thing I want to do is go to the temple. Even before I get released. 😊 I miss that place. You can plan whatever else you want but I just want to go to the temple. And for Christmas maybe some new g's would be nice to have. Mine are starting to turn a bit grey...
it sounds like Lincoln is killing it in football 🏈 this year, way to go lynx!! Haha.
Enjoy your nap!! Love you 😘 mom!!

Dear girls,
Can you believe that there are 4 of you gone now?  It is so quiet here.  And the ones that are still home all hate to do dishes.
So we had another slow week, and a busy weekend.  Peyton was sick on Monday, and spent the morning here with us.  She is walking now, but is still pretty tippy.  And she wasn't feeling well.  So I brought her in and stood her up, and Reiko and Ryder were alll right next to her, and she tipped right over.  There was a tangle of arms and legs.  She landed right on Reiko and mostly just scared him.  So the rest of the day, whenever she was near him, he would be like "get away from me".  He still doesn't want her near him, even in the car.  It's kind of funny.  So that was the funniest thing that happened this week.
Friday was a little crazy.  Your dad was home, but needed to leave for work around noon.  benson went to work at 7.  Jacques was doing Camden's papers (delivering the Record in Caliente, Pananca, and Pioche) so he needed a driver.  Chelsey had work, and Dad wanted to change the oil in the car before he left.  We did get it all done, and everyone delivered and picked up and dropped off.  Then we got to be home for a couple of hours and go down to the football games.  Natty is still loving pep band.  We played Meadows.  It started out as a close game, but we won 50 something to 30 something.  It wasn't even very cold.  The  next 2 games are away, then it is homecoming and Senior night the next  2 weeks.
After the game, the seniors had Senior Sunrise.  They spent the night at the gym and watched the sunrise from court rock.
We left for Twin Falls the next morning.  We were going to be on the road before 7, but we were are so tired that we didn't even get up until 6:30, and then had to load the car and get ready.  so it was 7:30ish when we got away.  (But that was my evil plan to actually be on the road before 8).  We drove up and got Chelsey situated in her new house.  She is living with a lady who just got divorced and was looking for room mates so she could keep her house.  Chelsey will have to keep us all updated on how it is working out.    While we were there we finally took Cami out for her birthday lunch and got her presents to her.  (Sorry, Cam)  We did a little shopping and then Natty and I headed home.  Natty gave up on me about Wells around 9, so it was a long boring drive home.  We got home at 1:15 am and walked in the house and went straight to bed.
This morning, we didn't even get out of bed until 9, then watched conference in our pajamas.  We had pancakes and waffles during the sessions since we got up so late.  and no one did the dishes.  So that is my goal for tomorrow.  Do dishes.  Fun.
I'm sorry this letter isn't very long or interesting.  I am so tired, even with a long nap, and I have a head ache.  so I am just going to go to bed.  I will try to send some pictures tomorrow.
I love you all.  Work hard, and do good things.
Love,
Mom
PS  I hear that Craig is back, but I haven't seen him.  We will try to go to his homecoming.
