letter to Spencer Sunday 19 June 2011

Well Lovey....they are all gone. Preston and Jeremi and girls came back from the soccer tournament (Drew's team took Bronze) and had dinner with us last night and then headed home. Sheri and gang left for the airport this morning at 7. Jeremy and crew just left. The house is SOOO empty. Only me, Dad and Sam. Sam is sleeping.

Megan is in Denver on a road trip with Casey (Otter man)...they went to Rockies games. Michael and Josh are in Provo---I'm hoping for them to come to Father's Day Dinner tonight. GrandDad B might come back for it,...but I would not be surprised if he is worn out and doesn't. It's appropriate that its raining all day today. I hate to see it end. It was SO relaxing and just so GOOD to be us and visit with no places to go or have to be. Not one fight amongst the kiddos---William and Elle were inseparable. Images of him as KNIGHT and her as PRINCESS will sweetly last FOREVER in my mind....I wish we had video. And they always had the kittens in tow. The day they tried to teach the kittens to "take turns" while they were eating was hysterical. I think the kittens might be happy for a LITTLE break...but will be missing them big by tomorrow. I wish wasn't allergic, it is SO HARD for me not to keep picking them up and loving all over them. Kelly and boys were missed. Maybe next time? The first thing Graham said this morning as he came out (first one up) "Nattly, SWIM? POOL? SLIDE? NOW!" He is starting to talk so much. Drew and Laiky are even taller, and Jer is even MORE ripped. I went to cross fit with her one morning and I swear it was just yesterday that I could lift my arm to answer my cell phone without wanting to scream out. Preston --everyone asks after you and reads your letters AND sends their LOVE! xxooxxooxxooxx

The little girlies played from sun up to sun down...the sandbox looks so impressive with it's castles and motes. I think we went through a couple hundred dollars of sun block:) We grilled most every night. Sheri and Gene only left a few times to go see his family and do the BYU thing. All is well in the world. Everyone is happy and doing well. Even with all the GOOD and LOVE...you were missed and we thought and talked of you often....wondered how the MTC might feel about a new "hymn caroling group" that only goes to building #17?????

We are heading to Stephen's farewell. With all this family good-bying, pretty sure I will be a complete mess by the time I am done listening to Stephen. I am sending Betos with him for YOU...THIS TIME IT HAD BETTER WORK!!!! He said he is pretty sure you will get to escort him....it will be dang hard for me NOT to "help" drop him off!!!!

Giving Dad a digital camera for Father's day. Having his favorites for dinner--chicken and broccoli and German chocolate cake. He leaves for South America tomorrow and will get back just in time for HIS family to be here for the 4th of July. I have been blessed with a few new commercial deals in real estate so I have a TON to get done before the next group arrives. I LOVE that I LOVE my work. And you know how I love working in the yard...it has been heaven!!! Now if we could just get a bit more SUNSHINE and have it act like we live in a desert!!!!

Love you big Lovey!!!!
