Hannah moved, SOM, new car, + other stuff

Well, I wrote a whole post this weekend, but apparently I didn't save it much less get it posted. Here's a recap.

Hannah moved to Reno last week. She'll be in Reno during the week and home on the weekends. It seems so much more empty without her here. She's finishing up finals tomorrow and will then have 2 weeks off before the new semester starts.

We went to see Sound of Music last weekend. Fabulously done. Our niece plays Sister Sophia and starts off the play. The nuns put on a great show during intermission, too.

Glen took the minivan in to be fixed on Friday and discovered that it would cost a lot to fix it, but it isn't worth that much. We decided to get a new car instead of pouring money into the minivan. It was a short search. Tuesday we went to look at a car in Fernley and today I brought it home. It's a dark gray 2011 Ford Focus SE. I am very excited.



Glen and Alex went on a Father/Son camp out Friday night. It doesn't rain often in Fallon, but when it does, it's while my boys are supposed to be camping. They had a great time, rain notwithstanding.


What one of the streets looked like after Sunday afternoon's downpour.

We had a wonderful Mother's Day luncheon after church put on by the men of the family. I've always appreciated the great blessing of living so close to family. I also got to talk to my mom and Andrew, Eric, and Ryan, too. Great day.

Glen was in charge of getting the pansies to the church in order to pass them out to the women.

Rain and dandelions.

More rain this week. We have been so blessed this past winter season. We need the water, but it can cause some difficulties.

Glen went on a camp out to Dixie Valley Friday night with the 11 year-old scouts and their leader. Dixie Valley is the valley on the other side of the mountains to the east of us (the Stillwater Mountains). It's about a 2 hour drive. Anyway, it rained here in Fallon Friday night. And there, but it turns out they did OK.

nice and cozy and protected from the rain

Henry feels rain for the first time

this one is now the wallpaper on our computer

though I might switch the wallpaper to this one

You can't see it in any of these photos, but Henry now has his first tooth with the second one soon to follow!

Another happening this week was a Court of Honor for the Scouts. Here Uncle Alan presented Alex with several merit badges (and I didn't take the photo soon enough to get a good one).

So, 3 weeks left of seminary and 4 left of school. We are excited. We are amazed. We are ready.
