So A funny story for the week. (It actually happened last week, but who’s keeping track...) One day while doing laundry, Mama noticed a loud clanking noise coming from the dryer. She stopped the dryer and looked through the clothes, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Once the dryer finished, she started folding the clothes and discovered the culprit. K2 frequently likes to stuff toys into his clothes, and had placed a train car in the toe of his pajamas.
We build our own armor for family home evening that is in Ephesians 6:10-17. We made a breast plate out of two plastic platters, shields out of a cardboard box, swords out of pipe insulation, and various hats they had around the house. They proceeded to hit each other. As we bought the platters at the store, people gave Mama an odd look as she would measure the platter to boys' bodies to make sure the platter was the right size.
On Friday night Mama and I had some friends over for games. We had a wonderful time. It was interesting to see a different side of people. We played a game called Loaded Question with 4 other couples. Speaking of games... Mama reminded me this week that I am still a lousy Hearts player. (That’s for you, Jerry!)
Today at church we got 2 bunches of Onion seedlings for our garden. One of the members of our congregation is big into gardening and organized a large group order so we could get a volume discount. We got over 100 onion plants for about 5 bucks! I love onions. They are delicious.
On Friday morning I went out to feed the Ladies (our chickens) before we headed off to the Temple in Mesa. Somehow I didn’t get the gate all the way closed. We came back home that afternoon to a yard full of surprises (chicken poop.) The Ladies got into the garden beds and caused a moderate amount of carnage. They didn’t touch the kale. Fortunately, about half our garden is fallow right now. (The onions will go in as part of Family Home Evening tomorrow night.)
On Tuesday Mama hosted a lunch bunch. About two dozen women came (those with pre- school aged or younger children brought them along too.) Mama worked hard to have chili, chicken noodle soup, and a butternut soup. Mama said it was good for her to open our home and strengthen relationships with others.
Underfoot Says: I like to write a letter to Uncle Aaron. I gave him some gray army guys. I was playing with Jayden last week.
Be Well

The chickens sound like such a mess!
OK Lance you totally under emphasized the Ladies Lunch. The Butternut Squash Soup was Amazing! And I ate 3 or 4 slices of the yummy bread soaking up every drop of the soup. There were like 30 kids loving your race track and backyard in general. You guys are doing amazing things and changing lives everyday!!
