What a Beauty!

For the last few weeks, Nate's sister April has been acting in the Beauty and the Beast at the Scera Shell. It was so fun to go see her. She was the Enchantress (the witch/fairy who changes the prince into the beast). Also she was a napkin, and part of the ensemble. Our kids loved seeing her on stage. They also loved going to the play with cousins, and eating treats there.

On June 21 my grandma Bartholomew (mom's mom) turned 90 years old! Wow! We had a fun party with lots of people at my aunt and uncle's home. Happy Birthday Grandma!

Here's my mom (left) and her twin sister, Joann (right). It's pretty easy to tell them apart, but when I was a kid, my friends thought it was hard. They have some good stories about how my mom got Joann's driver's license for her, and how they'd switch places at school or on dates. Joann's family lives in Missouri so we don't see them very often, but when we do it's a lot of fun! Most of her kids have come to Utah for school at one time or another, and some have settled here. We still don't see them very often, though. It's hard because everyone's always busy!

Swimming lessons began on Skyler's birthday, and have been going for almost two weeks. We are almost done. The girls love having a chance to get into the pool everyday, even if it's just for a few minutes. Eliza, Skyler and I get to sit and watch them. What fun!

Waiting for swimming lessons to end!

Emily's softball ends this week (hallelujah!) and Sarah's ends next week. Finally, we may be able to relax for a little bit before it's time for something else!
