weekend recap

Friday night dad went fishing.  He caught a big one!  Usually Grace wants to go with him, but not this time so he was solo.
While he was gone we played badminton and went to Salsas for dinner, then came home and watched Edge of Tomorrow.  Which I liked.

 Saturday Hannah and I went to the stake youth activity.  She didn't want to go and said she didn't have a good time.  Despite this report I think many of the youth did have a good time.  We had planned a volleyball tournament and a kick ball tournament with brunch in the middle.  The weather forecast was really bad so I asked the missionaries to come do a youth district meeting with the kids and we planned indoor games so the kick ball rotation could move inside.  Anyway, since we had such a great back up it didn't rain. We ended up splitting the kick ball time anyway and having the Elders do their district twice instead of 4 times.  Larry and I both spoke and the games were fun.  It did rain a little but we played anyway.  I thought it went well.  Becky and I, with the help of two of our awesome ward YW leaders who wandered by and offered themselves as chefs, made tons of pancakes.  I think the food was a hit.  We had fruit and juice and milk then lots of pancakes, blue berry, chocolate chip, traditional.  It was hot and yummy.

While we were gone Ethan had a soccer game.  They won 3-1!  He played keeper the first half and on the field the second half.  I hate missing his games, they are lots of fun to watch.

Saturday afternoon Ethan went to a birthday party for Tyler. It was a sleep over, although Ethan wasn't going to sleep over we were planning on getting him at 11. At 10 we got a call that that birthday boy was sick and to come early.  2 min later we got a call that John's dad was there and would bring the both boys home.  So that was a bummer for Tyler.  Ethan said that the rest of the boys had a good time.  They had mission BBQ and played football/basketball/soccer the whole time. (from 3:30- 10:00)

Between soccer and party the menfolk mowed the lawn.

Grace, who now lives next door :), played with Arden a lot of the day.

Sunday we church, then dinner, then Rob and I went back to the church for an adult fireside on finance. 

Hannah spent some time feeling sick this weekend, and now Ethan does a little.  It's the time of year I guess.  Although I suspect E's illness this morning was spurred by the "forgotten" homework.  Sadly it's not going to be a good day for him.
