Life-Pandemic-School-Normal Stuff

I received this sweet note on my bed from Paisley~ I think she felt bad for acting a little feisty earlier. She's a real dear.

Eli is driving! I don't think he loves it. We'll keep getting out with him so that it gets more comfortable for him. From where I sit, he's doing great!

I love my Sunday view...

We've started going back to church, every-other Sunday, the ward is split to every-other week. Jon and the boys help bless and serve the sacrament to the small congregation and we head home right after a quick talk.

Sookie enjoys her mornings. I like to crack the door for her. She likes that I do that.

Our backyard. Because why not? It's rarely photgraphed.

Zeke looks soooo cute before school!

Getting up before 11am two days a week is proving to be very tiring.

Her cute feet!

This is what "Home Learning" looks like:

What it looks like 20 minutes later:

Paisley and Esme are way into Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. They made these Wilde Stallions T-Shirts and are off to see the 3rd one in the theater! I'll bet they'll even have the place to themselves!

All the trim is back to normal. Sigh.

Eli!!!

Bye.

Jonny and I celebrated our 21st anniversary! We did a little shopping, went to dinner and a movie. You really can't top that. I sure love us!

I crimped Paisley's long hair and she put on her new school clothes and just looks as darling as darling gets.

I went out on my morning walk and was surprised to come upon Zeke and friend at the platform at the river. He has spent so many hours out here this summer, I'd like to thank the person that built this and for aaaaalllll fun it has brought all summer!

Isn't this a great color? I'm currently mulling over what more I can paint...

Breakfast burritos on a "Home School" morning.

Just cute house phots~ with a cute gal in her new cute boots!

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 ...
