Joy's Visit

My favorite sister came to visit me this past week. I had a blast with her. I always have a great time when she comes. She arrived Friday the 19th about a hour after I woke up. She left her house at 4:30 in the morning. Joy and I went out to eat lunch that day. At one of my favorite restaurants in town.
Saturday all of my plans that I had kinda went bust. Saturday morning I invited all of the Young Women to my house to make cinnamon rolls for their dads for Father's Day. Not a single Young Women showed up. The leader's did but the girls did not. So the we ended up making cinnamon rolls for their dad's. Then I was supposed to have a BBQ at my house but it was supposed to rain so I called and rescheduled my BBQ for the following Saturday. That made it so Joy and I could head to Boise. It was so nice in Boise. We went to lunch. And then went to the mall, REI, old navy and finally target. I hit all of the placed I loved to go to and don't get to go to very often. It was super fun.
On Sunday it was Father's Day and although it is late I just want to say to my favorite man out there Happy Father's Day babe!
Monday I ran around town with my sister. We also went to a Tee ball game and Soft ball practice.
On Tuesday I co hosted a baby shower so I ran around part of the day buying stuff for that. Joy and I also watched Confessions of a shopaholic and Inkheart.
Wednesday Joy and I go up early (well I got up early and Joy got up at her normal time) and went to volunteer ant the cannery. It was a lot of fun. Joy and I did dry pack that day and canned wheat, apples, oats, sugar, rice, flour and hot chocolate. When we were done I ended up buying more then I canned. They might of had to restock the shelf when I left. I bought about 600 pounds of food. You should of seen my van low riding it after I got all of the food packed into it. After the cannery we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory. Yummy Yummy!! Later that night Joy went with me to Young Women. We talked about our divine qualities as women and how they change and develop as we get older. It was fun.
Thursday and Friday was just a relaxing day. We just hung around the house which was nice because I am not used to all of the run, run, running that I have been doing.
I am so glad that my sister came to see me I had so much fun with her.
My sister's dog's and my dogs playing with a stick they found in the backyard. It was longer then them and so funny to see them all chewing on it at the same time.This is how Ella carries around poor Otis. He is getting big and makes it harder for her to carry him around. And BTW he is yawning in this picture not yelping.Ella and Roxy spent the majority of the time on Joy's lap.I rented Bedtime Stories for us all to watch while Joy was here.Joy and the kids.

Lew and her favorite Aunt.
