The last several days we have had a lot of fun with grandkids; Jayden, Bailey, Alexa and Gavin they have all been over for extended hours including all four of them (and Niki) sleeping over Friday night. Gavin is getting so big and cute and brave for a three year-old and he is definitely a Grandpa’s boy.
He and Alexa are getting braver in the swimming pool. In fact for a while, Alexa was insisting I stay on the opposite side of the pool while she walked around is the shallow area.
Today Stacey worked so I had the Jayden and Bailey all day. We didn’t get to do anything fun because we were waiting for plantation shutters go arrive then get installed.
Stacey got off at three and the four of us did finally go to the pool until well after five.
They had to run to meet the teacher night. Tomorrow is their first day of school.
The new plantation shutters really look nice. Now to keep the grandchildren from breaking them or smearing them with dirty hands. At lest they should be easier to clean than the Venetian blinds that were there before.

NEW CAN OPENER
Tuesday, August 09, 2011
Today Stacey was making lasagna for a family in their ward who had just had a baby. She was trying to open a can of tomato sauce with their old can opener that every couple of turns, skips so that in a full revolution around, there are places where the lid is still connected to the can. After getting to that point, Stacey tried to finish opening it by inserting her thumb and pulling. When she pulled she cut her thumb. That made her jerk and that caused tomato sauce to go flying all over the kitchen, her body and her clothes.
There was blood running down her arm.
She yelled, “I’m bleeding!”
Bailey came running seeing the mess and thinking it was all blood totally lost it. She called her dad on the phone yelling, “Mom cut herself bad and I don’t know what to do.”
Jayden panicked too but not as bad as his sister.
There was blood in the tomato sauce and they didn’t have another can so she had to take care of her bleeding thumb, clean herself up put on new clothes and either she ran to the store or Corey got a can on his way home from work.
Corey bought her a new can opener and bought her two of them as a joke; one manual and one electric.

LONG DAY/NIGHT yawn
Thursday, August 04, 2011
Obviously I haven’t written for a week or so…not a whole lot to say. Little things have happened but nothing to go Wow! about.
Yesterday at Alexa’s suggestion Judy and I along with Niki’s family ate at Winger’s on 134th, not tooooo far from their house. This was to celebrate Alexa’s first day at kindergarten.
When we first got there Gavin had a snotty nose and was grouchy. He sat next to his mother and Alexa sat next to me and was a silly chatterbox. Later she crawled under the table and set next to Niki and soon fell asleep. Greg put Gavin between him and me. He was fine by this time and we got silly…wrestling as best we could in a corner (round) restaurant booth. Gavin kept screaming but there was a little kid in the next booth that was yelling as loudly as Gavin so it sort of balanced itself out. Greg did try to quiet things down but was only successful for a few seconds at a time.
There near the end, Gavin and I went outside a goofed off in the parking lot.
I went home a tried to get a short nap.
Jim flew in and Judy picked him up at the airport. When they got home, Jim threw a few things together and he and Judy and I jumped in Judy’s Honda Civic hybrid. By this time it was dark and we had a three and a half-four hour drive (each way) getting him to Jensen, Utah, about ten miles east of Vernal and not too far from the Colorado border at about 12:30 including a stop for gas and snacks and another one to go potty and buy some ice that Chris requested via a text message. In Jensen we met up with Chris and two of his friends who were in Chris’ fold up camping trailer.
Judy and I got home at about 3:30 this morning. I took a sleeping pill and except for one potty break, slept until a quarter past 12:00.
Judy had to go to work, but set her alarm for 9:15 so she got a little sleep.
Today they drove (I assume all when as planned) into Colorado with a river rafting company and started their four day rifting journey down the Green River.
Jealous!
Chris paid for Jim which I think was very nice.
I told them both I expect detailed e-mail from them about their adventure.
