Karaoke with Yolanda's Family

We spent an hour at Yolanda's house on a Sunday evening singing karaoke and eating some of Brycelynn's brownies. My kids are just awesome! They took the mic and sang and sang which delighted the Dujardin children. I was just proud as could be.

 

North Gem Class of 88 Girls Night Out

On Saturday afternoon, I met Camille Redford Honeycott in Draper to drive to Maddox in Brigham City for dinner with my North Gem Class of 88 girls. We spent 2 hours listening to each other's stories, learned about their children, heard hard things and things to celebrate. I felt so much gratitude to have had such solid friends surround me as I grew up in Chesterfield, Idaho. This is a tradition I have to keep! As we were leaving, Camille Rindlisbaker Monk whispered in my ear, "Don't ever change." I hope I can keep the parts of me that uplift others and change the parts of me that are character weaknesses.  

 

Doug's Dead Poet Society- an enjoyable afternoon at Summit!

On a wonderful Friday afternoon, I drove down to Summit High School to listen to some kids, whose lives have been harsh, recite inspiring poetry. Uncle Doug was in his element! He just keeps making the world a better place. I was in awe and oh-so proud of him.

 

Top Golf with the Family for Dave's Birthday Celebration

 

Happy 52nd Birthday, Dave!

Happy Birthday to this incredible man, husband, father, son, mental health care provider, and friend. We loved celebrating Dave on this birthday. 

In the evening, we took the kids to Dave's favorite Mexican restaurant, La Costa. The kids LOVED the food! We quietly let the server know it was Dave's birthday so when the sombrero, clapping, singing, and candled friend ice cream arrived, we were all laughing so hard. Videos captured all of Dave's embarrassment....and delight!
