Phoebe turned 17! So weird to think of her being in college sometime soon. We invited everyone over for some cake and ice cream. Phoebe was thrilled as you can tell from the pics.
My neighbor and friend, Joy, invited me to do the Extreme Book Nerd Challenge with her this year, so we attended the kick off at the library and it was some crazy line-waiting. Basically you read 50 books but they have to fit into the 50 categories that the librarians invented and there's some pretty funny ones, so I'm looking forward to it.
Since school hadn't started yet, I headed down to Salt Lake City with my parents to hear my mom play at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. On Thursday night she had quite a crowd with me, Jodi and a couple of kids, Aunt Marlene and a couple of her daughters, and my friends Jody and Ken. We chatted while mom played, and then everyone kind of headed off at different times, so I had some good quiet time to listen to mom. She sounded great. She really loves doing this once a month.
After she was done, we drove to Layton and visited with David and Kelley and I stayed the night with them and mom and dad went to a hotel, because they are spoiled like that. It was fun to catch up with David's awesome family and Alison kindly let me steal her bed for the night. On Friday morning, we hung around with David's family until it was time to head to the Conference Center to play for a couple of more hours. I listened to it all while reading a book. Really great acoustics in there.
We headed home pretty fast because mom was hosting all of the California relatives who had come into town for Uncle Bill's graveside service. Kory and I joined them Saturday morning at the Sugar City Cemetery. Dad dedicated the grave and then we headed to the Sugar City church for lunch and visiting. It was kind of a mini-reunion with about sixty of us in attendance. Heather read the life sketch that she had given at the funeral and it was fun to remember Uncle Bill and what an awesome person he was.
