Back to Josh Ritter's Reality

Back to our rhythm!

Saying goodbye to the Miners was sad on Tuesday, but knowing we get to spend a week with them in May made it easier.  

Jet lag didn't seem to hit us so hard after this trip, which we're both really grateful for.

Westin loved baking lots of cookies for his youth activity this week. We have a big bake sale coming up to earn some money for camps.

That same night Bennett loved going on a nature walk with the Activity Day crew. They saw wild turkeys, deer, eagles, and even a bull snake, and they were all stoked about it.

I saw Meg and Olive in Shrek this week and Robin in Catch Me If You Can. These girls are talented. Young Womens is the best. I love being in YWs with such good friends.

Asher did soccer on Friday with Reece and he sure loves it. Camden loved it on Saturday, too. He always makes a break at some point to score a good goal and it's so fun to cheer him on. I need to get it on video but it's tricky to time! His little team is so cute. Those Hot Dog Rockets.

Saturday night was Josh Ritter with the Gregorys, which is just the best. We got Middle Eastern food first and then went to the beautiful church he was playing at. I love his concerts so much. Carrie said, "I forgot he was such a cherub of a person," and she's right. What a joyful man, and I love any chance we get to go hear him sing his songs.

Activity Days nature walk -- complete with eagles, snakes, turkeys, and deer!

Back to the Environmental Learning Center the day after the Activity Days walk to see if we could find the bull snake again. Success!

These boys loved watching this snake for a while.

I took Westin to piano and came home to these three rolling a ball to each other and laughing.
Pretty sweet kids.

Meg and Olive were great in Shrek at the middle school!

Asher has loved starting soccer this spring.

The boys built this teepee with friends.

Soccer Saturday!
Camden is a great sport. He usually gets a good goal in but his team has quite the losing streak,
and still he just loves the experience every Saturday.

Beautiful concert venue in Denver

Josh Ritter! In a church! With the Gregorys!
Saturday of my dreams.
