THE LAST FEW DAYS

SUNDAY, JULY 18, 2010 Yesterday our granddaughter Molly called and asked, “Did anyone tell you I was coming out today?” I said “No, but you are certainly welcome!” A few hours later, Diane (I assume) dropped her off. Jim and Austin were in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho rafting with the Single Adults. Jim and Austin rafted on the Provo River with Julia and her three children a day or two before, so it was just Molly and Grandma and me here at home which is fine. I am glad Molly feels comfortable enough to just drop in and do that. She is going back Wednesday so she can attend Young Women's. Friday, I guess it was, while I was with Jayden and Bailey, Jayden announced that “you and Grandma need to take us to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice!” He had seen the ads on TV. He grabbed his mother’s computer and went online. He typed in "Megaplex" then scrolled down to the one at Jordan Commons, hit Enter and scrolled down until he found The Wizard’s Apprentice and announced, “Yes, it is playing there.” I told him I thought it was a good idea and that we will have to ask Grandma. Yesterday I had the kids again while Stacey and Corey went on a double date with Stacey’s sister Aimee and her husband Derk. They went to dinner and then the vampire movie Eclipse. While Jayden and Bailey and I were in the car, Jayden took my cell phone and called Grandma and told her we were going to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and for her to meet us at Jordan Commons. She agreed and she and Molly met the three of us there. It was a fun movie and we all had a good time. I took Jayden and Bailey home so they could fall asleep in their own house. Both Jayden and Bailey are assertive that way, especially Jayden; more so lately. I got a big kick out of his doing all that on his own. Jayden has been going to football strength and agility sessions at a park in The Ranches. He seems to be doing very well for his size. He has not had his growth spurt yet so he isn’t very big. Yesterday Corey took him to Westlake High School to sign him up and get his helmet, pads pants etc. He is excited to start playing.
