Busy June week

Emma and Benjamin got to go to FSY at UNLV together. They both had the best time and had so many friends there. Definitely a difference in pics I get from Emma vs Benjamin haha. Emma even celebrated her birthday there, so we drove down and brought her treats and Ginger to hug.  I love to see the growth they have when they get back from a week of learning about the gospel, making new friends, amazing teachers and classes and more. Benjamin even joined the choir program- may have had some extra push from some new friends to join, but he did it and had a good time. Emma’s favorite part was when all of the youth sang. I still remember from when I went as a teen and that spiritual moment you have with so many youth. 

Taliah and Ben came down for the weekend. We had days and days of swimming, food and fun. We went and had the perfect weather at the drive in. We ended the weekend with Charlotte’s boyfriend’s mission farewell. He will do great things! I basked in the joy of having all my sisters together and family. We had a tough loss with both of my parents dogs, but my dad and grandma shared that the angels we sometimes need in heaven we don’t realize are the family and love we have here. It was really nice being together surrounded by our angels. 

It was a pretty eventful week. We got home late Sunday night from Benjamin’s last club tournament and big win. First thing Monday morning Benjamin and Emma went off to FSY and I went to the hospital. The last few months have been pretty crazy with lots of testing and drs. Final conclusion was to have a hysterectomy- the best way to fix multiple problems with one surgery and to move forward as healthy as possible. I’m so grateful for all of the help I received from taking care of kids, bringing meals, treats, comfy clothes, flowers and more by my incredible friends and family. Huge shout out to Jake taking care of me, love you all!
