Well? Will we be hearing from you today? Just for a minute? Just to see your smiling face live?
Sawyer picked up a bat yesterday for the first time in a bit. Dad decided to clean out the garage, and along the way taped down the hit away on the just-a-bit-too-wide basketball pole. Sawyer took a few swings, and decided he wants a new doctor's note that clears him for practice. He had no problems swinging the bat. He has practice until inconveniently late in the evening, and first thing in the morning, as well as Saturday mornings. But we're all eager for a good view of a ball game.
Miller began baseball this week. He's so done with basketball. He got asked to play in a weekend tournament. We're all thankful they lost two in a row so we'd be done as well.
Breyer had a little birthday celebration Thursday after her gymnastics class. Sis. Roberts opened her house, and we invited a few to eat a piece of ice cream cake she commissioned. I spent the day making a strawberry one with crushed coconut cookies as the crust, and a cookies'n cream cake with chocolate wafers as the crust, and homemade fudge sauce. Your sister is so loved. She had mostly adults present, received bags of gifts, and came home a very happy girl.
Cooper had a six school tournament Thursday in Burleson, and he and his partner came home with the first place trophy in men's doubles. There has been no write up, no social media posts, no pictures. But he has the trophy!
Cooper also spent some time on the rock wall in Fort Worth with his Weatherford area friends. His only requirement was to finish a cooperative electric scholarship entry. What?!? I'm always good for such random requests.
Dad and Sawyer were looking forward to being the umps for a baseball game, in which they'd be paid, but it was called off because of rain. Dad even borrowed equipment from Tarleton, as he was going behind the plate.
I found this picture of your cousin and her Snow College Badger basketball team.
We spent the night together playing a game. I love being together as a family. The times are too far and few in between. Your brothers are all hysterical. Miller showed up in game mode with his hat and sunglasses on. Cooper joined the fun and not only put on his sunglasses, but did fancy dance moves when card fates went his way. He was up on his feet in between turns cooking tortillas for an after dinner snack, which facilitated his dance moves. We laughed the entire game. And Dad had the win.
I found out our Prophet visited Paradise, California, where he and his wife, Wendy, ministered to those affected by the devastating Camp Fire. This fire is the deadliest in California history, with 86 deaths attributed to the fire, and the sixth deadliest in the nation. "The Nelsons found that the very people they tried to comfort were comforting them in the wake of losing their daughter Wendy to cancer only 40 hours prior to their visit. The shared bond of faith between the Nelsons and those Latter-day Saints in California — a faith that God can heal hearts — led to President Nelson flying home “comforted by the reassurance that God watches over His suffering children.” That we have access to the power of the atonement, a sustaining, comforting source of power in our time of need, helps me know you're where you're suppose to be doing what you need to do.
I love you!
Mom
