Lip Sync Battle at Rita Ranch

Is this Peter or Rick Astley? This week our ward held a ward party called Lip Sync battle - people submitted entries and we all enjoyed a night of silliness and music!
The talented Jenny made fix ears and tails for her and the kids and they lip synced to the song "What does the Fox say?" It was so cute and the kids had a great time!
Jackson always gets to model for his moms creations, soon he will think he's too old!

Polar Bear Leap

I wanted to post these amazing photos Ciry sent back form the 83 parallel on his voyage to the North Pile with the Ciast Guard Cutter Healy and crew! This polar bear is ruggedly handsome! So healthy looking!
Cory captured this shot of him preparing to leap from one ice floe to another, get ready... Get set...
Well it might take a drink of water and some dinner to get the courage to make that leap!
...GO!  What a beautiful photograph! 

Three Dog Night

Len surprised me with concert tickets to go see Three Dog Night, a rock band from the 60's that we grew up dancing to and listening to! What an awesome surprise!
The concert was held at the Desert Duamond Casino here in Tucson in a beautiful summer evening just after a rain storm! 
So excited to go rock out! Funny thing everyone there looked like old peoe, yet they are our peers - that's a real eye opener to our own mortality!

Birthday Week for Jenny

Here is the yummy chicane cake I made for Jenny's 29th birthday 🎈
I sure have fun with this cute lady, Jenny keeps me sane! She is so sweet to always include me in their fun, meals, and shopping! We had a great week for her birthday week!

Old Friends

We got a text from some old friends from Texas Insung and Beverly Lee this week! They have a daughter who lives in Tucson that they were visiting so we got together for lunch. 
When we lived at Ft hood Tx the last time we were in the same ward as the Lee family - they had children close to our kids ages so becoming friends was easy! They lived in the next circle from us also! Their oldest son Kysun became Mistys first serious infatuation! They dated for several months and Misty endeared herself to Sister Lee! 
Brother Lee did well for himself both in the military and in his civilian career! He was a great friend and mentor to Len! It was as if no time had passed in our friendship and it's been 24 years since we saw them last. Insung is retired now and they help take care of grandchildren, he also served 3 times as a bishop like Len!
