Farwell to Great Neighbors

We had a fun, bitter-sweet week. The picture explains it all:


Just kidding. This is how the cake ended up last Sunday night (what was left after eating). Lee was the genius behind it.

On Tuesday we had a neighbor get-together for our friends the Cantrells that moved on Friday. Theresa provided an amazing dinner and we had such a great evening with our friends! We are sad that they moved. Andrew and Clark are great friends and spent many, many afternoons playing together. We wish the Cantrells the best of luck at their next duty station!















Normal events filled up the rest of our week: story time, craft time, a Hep B immunization for me, registering Cal for Kindergarten, ping-pong for Lee, gathering Visiting Teaching numbers, scrubbing clothes, getting free flowers, wiping up spills, cutting the kids' hair (minus Elden), preparing for Mother's Day, Lee planting free flowers, attending the temple, and enjoying a visit from my mom and dad.

By the way, if you are ever running low on adrenalin, here's how to pump it up quick: borrow my five kids and take them to the mall by yourself. Go to a small store and buy some things--at least four items (seven will do too). Oh, and remember to do a return first before you even shop. I guarantee that you will be alive and awake the rest of the day. (Okay, so it's not a "quick" process--quite lengthy actually, but it will keep you hopping!)
