We ended up at Fishterra for beach day this week. Liev got a new fishing pole for his birthday and wanted to try it out on the small dock there. Turned out he didn’t have the right stuff with him to get the pole set up so we didn’t fish, but we enjoyed the beach anyway! We even found a small cat shark that had beached itself the night before and wasn’t able to get back out to sea. So crazy to see that on land!
We had a few pretty normal days at the beginning of the week with a good routine of school, dinner with missionaries, branch activity, relaxing around the house and preparing for Grammie and Papa to arrive! It’s been a couple weeks since we’ve had visitors and we were so excited to see them!
They got here early Thursday morning and we all got up before the sunrise to greet them. They were last here in September so the house and yard have changed significantly since they saw it. They LOVED seeing the pool and how it changed the yard and adds so much to it. We were all up admiring it and looking around when we suddenly heard a quick yelp and a splash! Looking down into the pool we saw Grammie emerging from the water, clothes and all! I didn’t know if she had fallen in or jumped in but she got out and said, “I told Papa that I was jumping in the pool as soon as it got here.” She was true to here word and was in there within the first 45 seconds of arriving! She’s so crazy! Along with that surprise, she also brought us 3 boxes of Crumbl cookies which we promptly ate for breakfast and continued to eat through the day! I’m sad to say that those 4 boxes of cookies were gone by the end of the day.
We spent the rest of the week enjoying the time with Grammie and Papa and taking full advantage of the pool. They came from lots of snow up at Heber Valley Camp and have been excited to swim and get some sun so that’s what they’re doing!
We took a trip to the temple together and couldn’t wait to be back in the temple after such a long time away! This is the first week it has been open so we’ve been excited to go. I couldn’t help but get a little emotional as we got there and went inside. I forgot how much I have missed it. Such a beautiful spot to spend our morning together.
Saturday was work day and the boys worked hard cleaning out the car and pressure washing the tiles on the outside fence. The pressure washer and Papa are good friends and he worked hard on those tiles into the afternoon. I didn’t realize how dirty they were until he’s started to clean them! Amazing how much better they look now.
And yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday so we celebrated in good style! Josh made the most delicious homemade empanadillas and we just munched those down as fast as we could. Carlos and Laura came and we played games, ate good food and watched the football game together until it was over. It was a such fun day to end our great week!
