1. We got together with my whole family the day before Mother's Day for a bbq, and got to see Andrew for the first time since he moved into the group home (my parents have seen him multiple times but we hadn't had a family gathering until then). He seems to be doing well and adjusting (he's not a chatty one so it's hard to know).
2. Lori jumped on the trampoline with Andrew (which was funny to see) and impressed me by doing a toe touch; if I were to attempt such a thing I would surely pull a muscle, pee my pants and need to visit my chiropractor.
3. Randy was a really good sport and participated in our Relief Society play "Who Has My Name" last week. He memorized a long paragraph and took on the role of a man from 1673 (hence the ensemble), and delivered it in an English accent. He was fantastic and totally impressed everyone (especially me).
4. Randy continues to pack lunches for Whitney and me everyday; this has been a serious life saver for me.
5. We had Robyn's kids with us at Whitney's soccer game and Ashley ended up falling asleep in Randy's arms. The man puts out a lot of heat, so I think she had no choice but to surrender to it.
6. The Young Men of our ward are preparing for their 6 day 50-mile hike this summer so they've been doing smaller hikes to get ready for it. The one they did last week involved wearing their packs filled with the amount of weight they'll be carrying when they do the real thing this summer (1/3 their body weight). Poor Landon could hardly stand up under the weight of his pack (33 pounds!) but managed to do the hike and come home in one piece (I was praying for him); this is what his shoulders looked like after 3 hours!

Would you be willing to act in a play?
Can you do a toe touch on the trampoline?**

Oh, ow! His little shoulders just look so sore.
Um, no, I definitely cannot do a toe touch on a trampoline. Go Lori! Your sentiments cracked me up! I'm sure all of those thinks would happen to me if I attempted that as well...
School, work, and life in general keep me from blogging! I have a little break from school right now though, so that's why I'm popping in tonight to say hi!
I think it's super cute that Randy makes your lunches. And writes your names on them too. Love it. :)
What keeps me from posting is no one commenting....
Time!
I think it is one of the sweetest, most loving things that Randy packs you a lunch. I love it.
What keeps me from posting is either Blogger being blocked at work (and when I get home I don't want to spend time in front of a computer) or a blogging brain funk.
Randy is a keeper and Lori's toe touch is impressive!
I am so behind on posting that it is ridiculous. My family is what is keeping me from posting. It is so crazy busy I forget that I haven't even looked on anyone's blogs in a while.
I do not like any spotlight on me so a play would be a stretch.
I can do a toe touch on the tramp! The kids and I want one so bad but Jason refuses. His sisters broke multiple bones on theirs growing up.
Eva saw these pictures and wanted to know why grown-ups were jumping on the trampoline! I don't know for sure, but I think I could do a toe-touch (only on the tramp, of course).
I agree with Charlotte, it is definitely a gift of love for Randy to pack your lunches. I love the picture of him in costume and want to hear his British accent! It's nice to know that he can still surprise you after all these years.
Way to go, Landon! I'm pretty sure I couldn't carry 1/3 of my body weight... at least not for more than a few minutes.
This post is all kinds of Randy-love!
My cracked computer screen keeps me from posting.
I do read your blog on my iPhone, though, and it makes me feel that all is right with the world!
I vote we do a repeat of our chili's lunch with The Ladies...soon!
Your comment about the toe touch and peeing your pants made me laugh out loud.
That is so awesome of Randy to take over lunch duty. And I thought of you guys when I had to pack a bag lunch for kade to take to school the other day. As I was writing his name in sharpie I thought of Randy's cool artwork,
I'm catching up on your posts (I've been so crazy busy lately that I haven't had a chance to read blogs as often).
There is no way I could a toe touch!
Poor Landon--it looks like he'll need everyone's prayers...
That Randy sure is a good egg! Where, oh where did he get the costume?
The whole lunch packing/picture drawing is a total act of love...I am so very impressed by that...
I could no more do a toe touch on a trampoline than I could a 6 day 50 mile hike! Holy torture! Who came up with that??? Is Landon excited about this?
Oh, these service errors are driving me nuts!
And I misspoke, it's a 503 error.
I said that I don't post because I'm not ready to share, but most likely I don't feel like I'm the blogger that I want to be.
If this doesn't go through, so help me...
