Catching up...

Jack came and brought these beautiful flowers the day after Mother's Day. I also got to talk to all of my kids and got some very nice gifts. Jack got to have some one on one time with Elliott. She turned 4 months old! She can now grab her toys and roll over. She had really strong stomach muscles and can do the yoga bow pose better than I can. I left Elliott with Jack babysitting to try to get my van's emission mess figured out. She slept the whole time! Dang it! I put all the pictures in reverse chronological order again! I think I must have a form of electronic dyslexia.
Here's my cute mom doing what she does best: passing around her cookie jar! She has a perpetually full cookie jar and a smile that is not usually scarry like this one. Here's the new graduate, Caitlyn ready to sample the cookies. Grandpa and I playing chicken. Looks like I won! Some Learys were at Grandma's with us. Notice Linda's cute new 'do? Seth took a job in Kamas. They would love for you to buy their house so they can move there! Meg got this shot of me sitting on Jonathan's lap after dinner. There should be pictures inserted here of our trip to St. George to visit Richard's mom. I left the camera and my toothbrush home. I was a little hurried getting out the door after getting to the temple later than planned that morning. Believe me when I say that Richard did a bunch of nice things for his mom while we were there. I had to get this picture of Ellie in this cute outfit she had on last week. She was inbetween smiles.

Here's Jack and Steph. They came for a late birthday dinner for Jack since they'd been in Seattle finding an apartment the week before. Jack's last cake with one box of candles on it! I had to include this picture of the party animal Joni studying for a final at the birthday celebration. I love that she's wearing the Peruvian sweater I bought in Chile on my mission 33 years ago. Josh and Meg eating cake. This is how Elliott parties! This is the video I took of Elliott rolling over. Which was my favorite part of Mother's Day.
