Gary's Visit

My cousin, Gary Meyer, came down for some work stuff and then spent the weekend with our family.  We started off the weekend going out to dinner at Gecko Grill.  Gecko Grill is one of my favorite restaurants.

The next day, we went to the Goldfield Ghost town to walk around.  Afterwards we went to see part of the desert.  It was great to just walk around and talk to Gary.  We went to In-n-Out for lunch afterwards. Lisa, Gary, and I ended the night going to see Captain America: Civil War.  I think we missed a few movies and were lost in the plot a few times, but it was fun just being there together.  It was a great day!!!

After church, my parents came over to Lisa's house for dinner and to see Gary.  I'm glad that he chose to spend so much time with us.  It was great to hear what Gary and his family are up to.  He is such a great guy.  It was great to see Gary this weekend.  Thanks for coming to visit!!!

Throw Back Thursday
Sisters

Throw Back Thursday - Sisters Danni has looked after Angela these past two years at Mesa High. She has helped her more ways than I can count, but including her with her friends is at the top of the list. Danni's friends became Angela's friends and they often included her. We are going to miss having Danni at Mesa High next year. Thanks Danni!!! You are one in a million!!!

 Jim received a telescope.  He received it from working at Merchants Information Solutions for 15 years.  The company gave him recognition and a catalog to pick a gift from.  He picked the telescope.  We were all able to look in it and see the craters on the moon.  He tried to look at Jupiter and others planets, but he wasn't able to see it up close.  

We are getting ready for the summer.  We signed up for swim lessons and planning our trips.  We are going to Utah for a reunion.  We are leaving at the end of June.  It's going to fun to see family and friends.  

Dani and Angela are getting their dance costumes tomorrow.  They love to get their costumes.  After their dance show, they become dress-ups.  I'll take pictures and e-mail them.  In a week, the dance studio takes their pictures and class picture.  

I'm busy getting ready for enrichment night. Well, that's the exciting stuff going on.  Not much I know.  It's okay with me

This has been a boring week.  There were a few highlights that I will share with you.

1- Josh was in the newspaper on Thursday.  In the Arizona Republic in the Mesa pull out section.  The article was about lunch prices.  Josh and his friend was pictured in the article.  I'll enclose part of the article.  I volunteered on Thursday and found out about the article.  The office staff gave me a copy.  Josh says that he is famous.  Only in his classroom.

2- Emily went to nursery on Sunday.  I stayed half way and then left.  She didn't cry.  When I left, she was eating snack.  It was a good time to leave.  I told someone in the nursery that Emily will need help getting out of the chair when she was done.  I checked on Emily a while later.  She was still sitting in the chair while everyone else was playing.  The tables were all put away.  It was just Emily sitting.  I had someone go in the nursery and get her off the chair so she could play.  I didn't want to go in.  I wanted her to be in nursery without me.  She cried when I came to get her.  I think she realized that I was coming to get her.  She held me tight.  It was a good experience.  I'll see how next week goes.

3- Angela might not go to Lehi next year.  I was told that she may go to Roosevelt instead.  There are 2 schools that have the SLLD (Speech-Language Learning Disability) program.  The Special Ed department will determine where she will be placed.  I just went to Lehi to view the program.
