We have had an
exciting week with pretty good weather! It was a little cooler than it has
been, and for that, I am very grateful! Monday we had a Bonneville Volleyball
Club Coaches Party at Pizza Pie Café. Both
of us left very full! We had a good time visiting with my parents and the
Keck’s. We sure missed Makayla! We also
got Kolt’s phone in the mail this week.
We joke that Kolt’s “indestructible” phone isn’t indestructible when you
lose it. His new idea is to paint his
phone hunter orange, so he can find it the next time he loses it. He’s also promised to leave the phone and
wallet in the car when he is walking in the ditches. We are hoping to have better luck with Round
2 of the “Indestructible” phone!
Kolt has been
irrigating a couple of fields this week. He has had a pretty nice schedule with
good breaks during the day for lunch and dinner, but usually has to change the
water either late at night or sometime during the night. Over the weekend, Kolt woke up at 2 in the
morning to go change water. I don’t wake
up very well with him at that time of night, but on Monday and Tuesday, he
changed water at about 9. I’ve had a
pretty good time going out with him. We
visit on the way out to the field, and then I usually fall asleep in the car
and all the way home.
Wednesday, Grandma
Lindley got here. We were excited to
attend institute, but missed the first few weeks, so we must’ve missed the memo
that they were taking the week off. We tried
2 different institute classes, but no one was there. We are excited to try again this week and
hope to find a class!
Thursday Tyler had
his high school graduation. Somehow he
convinced Kolt not to go to the long graduation, but to just come back for the
party afterwards. We ended up going on a
horseback ride with Kolt’s family. I
rode Kate, and I was pretty nervous she might have too much energy for me. Kolt got on to “ride the rough” off her, and
she hardly even moved. She was great,
and I had a very slow, smooth ride. We
took a short ride up Little Kelly and then rushed home for dessert at the
house. We are sure excited for him.
The highlight of the week was Grandma’s banana cream pie and
Portobello mushroom soup, our favorites.
I always enjoy talking to my grandma and listening to her stories. She always has good advice. I caught the end of Sister Monson’s funeral
Thursday afternoon. I am amazed at her
example and love. Kolt, my mom and I
also watched President Monson’s biography movie on lds.org called On the Lord’s Errand. It is an excellent movie. There is so much to learn from President
Monson, as well as Sister Monson. It
always amazes me how much President Monson did in the church and how well he
fulfilled his callings. I hope to be
able to leave an impact with people like he has.
The week of Tyler
continued. He played in an All-Star
Football game at Shelley High School Friday night. Kolt was able to take a good break from work,
and we rode up with Grandma, Mom, and Dad.
He did awesome, and Tyler and Kolt have had a good time talking about
it. We beat the 5th district
35-28. It was a really intense game. Saturday
morning, Tyler went through the temple.
Kolt’s work has been great for him, and he was able to take a few hours
off of work to be there. We had the
whole family in the temple, except Brady who had to work. After the session, we went to Stockman’s for
dinner. We had a super time talking with
family. We sure love our family and are
so grateful families can be together forever.
Saturday Kolt and I
had a date night shopping at Wal-Mart and using a Buy-One-Get-One-Free coupon
with our gift card at Jamba Juice. We
are pretty good at taking advantage of the all the deals in town. We are enjoying every minute together before
this baby comes because we know he will change our lives very quickly. We have 6 weeks left until this baby is
scheduled to come. I am getting big
enough to start being uncomfortable and sleeping pretty poorly. My new craving is carrots; I feel like a rabbit,
but they are delicious and always settle well.
Sunday morning we
watched the video of President Monson.
The song we are singing for choir is How Firm a Foundation. Kolt and I spent a few minutes at home before
choir practice to practice the song. Kolt
gave a great lesson on how reverence invites personal revelation. I left more motivated to take time to sit in
quiet and prepare myself for personal revelation. My mom taught the Relief
Society lesson. She did a great job
teaching about Elder Cook’s talk “Can You Feel So Now?”. We talked about what causes spiritual
droughts and how to fix them. I set a
goal to have more regular prayer, so that I can avoid spiritual droughts. Sunday evening Kolt’s dad made an awesome
chicken cordon bleu dinner. Kolt played
football and basketball with his brothers, and Shauna and I had a good
visit. Grandma and Grandpa Staker
stopped by too; it was nice to visit with them.
They are excited for their calling to serve up at Darby camp for the
summer.
