Abby let me know Grayson's big Disney production at school was happening. Apparently, school work is set aside in 3rd grade so the kids can get this down and ready. I knew Grayson would think it was neat if we came to see him, and I knew my kids would love to see him~ and I knew they would know most of the songs and probably really enjoy it. The only performance we could make was during school. I didn't tell my boys we were going, just had them get up and get ready for school like normal. I made breakfast, packed a lunch, all while the boys were wrestling and running around~ completely unaware that school had started about an hour ago. Finally Eli asked if we were late because the sun looked different. I filled them in on our day. They were very excited! I got a lot of "Your the best mom, ever!"s. I have never done anything like this before.
It was great to see Grayson. He told us how he really hated wearing the snake costume. -Oh, really? Not the big bunny costume? In fact it was his final costume, and I noticed he bolted right after and came out not wearing it.
He mentioned this again to me a couple weeks later when I saw him. He just really hated that snake costume. He felt real stupid in it.
We ended up checking Grayson out of school, and lunching at the Bocanegra's. Of course Abby and I get chatting and I had to bag checking my kids in later. We left late enough to take Grayson back for his final performance and drop him off. The boys had been riding bikes somewhere and were covered head to toe in mud. Faces and everything. Oh, well. It was a fun day!

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

 Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam.   Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day.  My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
