This week has been beautiful and sunny again.. a little too hot for my liking! It is supposed to cool down this week. Yah! (To mid 70s)

We went to my moms one day this week and Keagan worked a little for her and I picked some blackberries. They're still not a lot of them, but enough to get a bowl full. Super early this year because of all our sun!

 

We also went to Hicks lake one afternoon.  It was beautiful.  My phone camera didn't really pick up its beauty and mt. Rainer in the background.   

 

The big thing this week was of course, Keagan.  He turned 16! Holy cow!! He had his first date on Saturday.  It was pretty cute! He met this girl Rebecca from Dupont,  she's in the Lakewood stake and they met at the dance festival.  We had to drive up to get her and drop her off. They went to lakefair with Austin Falter and his date. When we picked them up, they were just chatting away, so fun to listen to! Then when we dropped her off, her mom was outside,  so Keagan talked to her a little and then the dad came out. (Ray and I were in the car watching it all) And the dad comes out with his his arms folded to his chest just stands there. I was laugh so hard. I remember this kind of thing when melissa was first dating... anyways, then Keagan just takes a step or two backwards,  slowly, and another baby step backwards.  I wish I could of recorded it, it just made me laugh.. so much.. I could tell he was trying to get out of the situation,  but to not be rude. Well, the date was a success and all had fun! And poor keagan, he's been teased SO MUCH! Picture of him and his date at lakefair. 

But most importantly,  he was ordained a priest today. Next week he gets to bless the sacrament.  It was great to have Ray ordain him and several people that we love in the circle.

Aerikas farewell talk was today and she did great. She leaves in a week and a half.

Josh s talk was awesome.  (No big surprise! ) it's so fun to see how much he's grown. I love home coming talks!

And so fun to see him and talk with him a little more today. We have the Missionaries coming this week to eat and Josh is controlled too. I'm excited about that! Now what to make?! 

What are some of your favorite meals?

We (mostly Ray) tried to get the tv on the wall, but at 1145 last night, I told him to stop and figure it out Monday. But I do love to see him and keagan working together,  I snuck that picture if them.

Two of those pictures with the sisters and elders came from a Facebook post from Lds missionaries (I think that's their name) but anyways,  I really like them

 The elders one has the scripture on it. The right hand corner of each makes me laugh!

Love ya all!
