I am a home base for a steady stream of Steezy Boys. I need to figure out what/how to feed them all summer.
Quincy went to prom. I love being a girl mom and having a live dolly to play dress up with! She looked so pretty and had a lot of fun.
I taught Corbin and Charlie how to clean out the P-trap under our kitchen sink after someone clogged it with eggs. It smelled terrible but we got the job done and they learned a new skill.
A mission call to Singapore speaking Malay for Henson! Henson (aka Huz) is unapologetically Quincy’s favorite person on the planet. He effortlessly brings out the best sides of her with his own goodness and we are all very excited for him to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a full time missionary.
Deep cuts photo edition. Annie (Grover) Gilbert sent me these last week.
Wmily Hepner and I at Young Women’s Camp. Camp Ritchie for life!
Laura Barham and I at 6th grade science camp in the Santa Cruz mountains
Annie and at the top at science camp. I’m in pink on the far left.
Kasey made a bouquet of mini Chris’s for everyone running the half marathon in her memory. 40%!
Corbin likes his new job as a host and busser at Pedaler’s Pub. He is counting down the days until his first paycheck.
A mission call for Parker! Elder Owen will be serving in Newport Beach California! California knows how to party, Parker. I love the way mission calls are always such a great fit. Parker has been a good friend to Quincy through some tough stuff and was a stable presence to personally invite Quincy to everything when our ward boundary changed. He is great at making others feel welcome and will be a great missionary!
A memorial for the high school principal Javk Loyd, who died recently. Ronnie Juzeler (WJHS orchestra director) played a cello solo. Quincy and Corbin and I sat with Ryan and Todd Mains. Jack loved his job and loved BHS. He was a tiger through and through and will be missed.

A mission calm for Ena!!
My favorite part about Ena’s call opening was that it fell on PDay for Elder Bingham, who is serving in Indonesia. Watching his face light up when he heard Sister Riches will be teaching the Gospel in the Tagalog language in the Philippines was pure joy. The Lord’s battalion is drafted by love for the Savior and fortified by the strength of deep long term friendships. It’s a crazy thing to love so many people serving God all over the world. Quincy can hardly bear the wait to join them.
Speaking of long term friendships: Shef turned 18! Enjoy a few throwbacks of Q memories with her buddy and core member of Fake Band.

More Steezy boys eating things. Caleb, Roman, Chase, Landon and Richard have had parents traveling recently so we’ve had lots of plus ones (or plus 4s) at dinner this month. They’re so easily pleased with anything I offer them. I’m thankful they don’t have picky pallets.
Aaron traveled to Canada last week and returned hours before Q and I left for San Diego. He was thrilled to attend a hockey game in Montreal. I brought home zero souvenirs from California 😂. Aaron brought home shirts for everyone and a jar of maple syrup for EVS, who will be serving a mission in Canada soon. He’s such a fun dad!
The kids have started running club after school once a week. Sloane LOVES it. Esme tolerates it and wants to love it. Bear believes he might be dying and running club is the thing that will kill him off.
The Minecraft movie is here! So far, only Corbin has seen it, but my IG feed i s full of reels of people’s fun experiences. One of the nights Aaron was out of town, I took the kids for Minecraft happy meals and you would have thought I gave each of them $100. Why am I making home cooked meals? I should take a nap and give the people what they want. They want Minecraft, nuggies, and ranch.
I chaperoned a Chamber Orchestra trip to San Diego over the weekend. I love California. It was such a nice trip. Perfect weather, good food, fun students, excellent music, and beach. I forget how many cultural differences there are until I’ve been away a long time. Some of our students didn’t know the difference between a quesadilla and an enchilada. Bless. There were no bugs. No severe weather. We are most meals outdoors. It was just kind of perfect and reminded me how little I paid attention to weather growing up. You just took a hoodie everywhere. That’s all. All weather problems solved.
52 days of service left for Sister Willardson! Her companion just passed her US citizenship exam. They spent the last two P Days trying to get that done so she is extra happy it’s over. Congrats Sister Jeon!
If you know you know.
Senior Splashin’
Q is involved in two, maybe three different groups of senior assassin. She now wears goggles everywhere, doesn’t trust motives when a friend calls her up to hang out, and she carries a spray bottle. Hahaha. She’s happy to have survived the first round of each.
I found this letter to Tommy on Bear’s desk
It was Chris’ birthday on Tuesday. Q understood the assignment. We took Ryan to lunch and he spent the afternoon and evening at the Willy trap playing poker with the fam.
Wide leg pants are back abc im having high school throwbacks—especially over these cargos (or “purse pants” as Henson calls them) completely cover my shoes
This takes me back. Please don’t rain.

I went for my first post Half run. It was 5 miles and hot!
Gosh I will miss this so much.
Learning new uke songs is the current wait up fight teenagers activity.
Sister Willardson made a cute video!
I had a nice visit with Valerie after our RS activity this month. I love her and always have so much to learn from her.
I need to make a photo backdrop for the orchestra banquet. I have a shoestring budget. It needs to BHS colors, be portable, and basically look nice with people standing in front of it. How cute is this bow wall? I need to collect a bunch of discarded ribbon and find something free and portable to attach the bows to. Or maybe I’ll do something with balloons. Seems like just as much work though. Stay tuned.
