Week 26 - June 20th thru 26th

Here it is another almost month since I updated my blog..... looks like I did not learn my lesson from last time.

     Sunday was Fathers Day.  Thursday  of last week we learned that the YW were in charge of the Fathers Day gifts in church.  If we had more time the possibilities would be endless.   Since that is not the case here, Annette came up with a great idea.  Thank heavens I have a great president, without her this job would not be so much fun, and would be quite a bit of stress.   Annette purchased some cute little boxes and decided to make some  little banana bread loafs to put inside them.  She baked everything and wrapped them up all by herself.  All I had to do was print up some Happy Fathers Day tags.   Here is what they turned out like....

     After church we came home and got started on making Eddie his Fathers Day dinner.  ( Potato Salad, Rib-Eye, garlic bread and banana cream pie for dessert)  Eddie came home and we opened presents.  He got his blanket, and a new cordless drill set and some chaps.  Shortly after, Elder Fetner and his splits companion arrived.  Our house was a total disaster with wrapping paper and presents all over the living room.  The companion  asked if it was someone's birthday....  I said no,  what is today???..... Fathers Day?!?.... Yeah..... You guys give present?......UMMM yeah........oh we just walk by and say Happy Fathers Day.   He was surprised that we did so much for Fathers Day.

     After dinner Eddie went out to look at his truck.  On his way home he was hearing some noises that he wanted to check out.  He took it for a test drive and almost did not make it back.  He got back and figured out that he had some big issues.  The Hub was bad the axle, barrings, etc.  So it was a bad end to a good day.

Monday-Eddie came home from workk and of course the only thing on his mind was looking  at the truck and trying to fix it.  With not having the right tools, an organized garage and no cement pad to lay down and work on the truck at, he decided to just take it into Les Schwab to have it fixed.  It was not an easy decision but he was already stressed out about cutting firewood before the woods are closed.  He needs the truck fixed as fast as possible.

Tuesday- This morning I called good old Susanville Towing and had them come out and tow the truck into town.  Les Schwab said they would be able to fix the truck with in about a week.  Hopefully this way Eddie can not stress so much about getting it fixed.   For YW tonight we did a "Chopped" type cook off with 1st and 2nd wards.  The girls had so much fun.  We gave them a few key ingredients and they had to make a dessert out of them.  Our girls were the ones who ended up winning!  We hope that this will become a little tradition with in the 3 wards to kinda keep us connected a little.

Wednesday-Today we just hung out waiting for the paycheck to arrive but it never came.  Claira had soccer practice and that was about it.

Thursday- Woo Hoo  the paycheck has arrived!  So we decided to head to Reno and do a real food shopping trip.  We had not gone real shopping in over a month and things were getting a little low.  We took the entire day and shopped and shopped.  We tried out a new sushi restaurant, Sushi 7.  We really liked it  it was nice and bright, the owners were very friendly  and they have kids too so they were very understanding with the kids.  The food was good too.  We even tried a roll that had banana on top of it.  It was ok I thought, Eddie and Dallen did not like it though.

Saturday- Today Eddie had a holiday from work.
