Nena loves Perky and Lolo looks like Furbie (the one Anth gave to Addy)

What is in that bowl my Dad is holding?

It's Pat's famous tortilla soup with Naui's homemade salsa on top!!!! We make this soup often when the weather cools down. It's so good and it's Addy's favorite soup. His friend, Skyler, loves it too!!!!! I also made Suzy's autumn soup. It turned out so good--so rich with the coconut milk.

Enjoying precious time with Naui's family (here from Ecuador)

My date for the Japanese Wood Blocks Opening

Bears

A very fun day

We had a nice visit with Susan and Andrew. They are so awesome!!! Elena and Andrew were dancing together! It was so cute. We went to T-Mobile to activate a sim card for my old Nokia phone (my other phone got lost at UVU). Then we went to the mall--just Ollie Nena and I. I won two bears for them at the arcade with the claw! A nice man helped position them so it would be easier to grab them. Never in my 40 years have I ever grabbed something with the claw. The kids were thrilled and they were so cute at the mall. I got some shoes like Susan's and some cute socks at the Gap and a nice pumpkin colored sweater to wear to the Museum opening tonight. I loved the Japanese wood block prints. So gorgeous and I loved seeing my Museum family so much. I love them all a ton. What a sweet, sweet day. Addy is my right hand man. He watched Lolo when we went to the mall and he watched Ollie and Nena when I went to the Museum.

Moab Trip

I have to brag about my Mom for a minute here. She is so amazing. She rode her bike 72 miles last Saturday in Moab for the l&l society. She also road in Taho and in Honolulu recently--both 100 mile rides. Moab is an amazing place. We go there to think about Anthony and try to make sense of it all. Anyway--we had a really nice trip with Cynthia and Ken. They were great with the kids and I was so proud of my Mom.
