Pottery Party

We celebrated Becca's birthday with a party this past Saturday. She had been home for a week and a half with the flu, and was facing piles of makeup homework and the birthday party. Friday morning she broke into hives on her face, arms, and hands. She was itchy and miserable! Saturday was the same way, but her flu was gone - just the hives remained and she definately wanted the party to happen! Livi made owl cupcakes and we had the party at a local artist guild where weaving, pottery, and all kinds of art are created~! The girls came one by one and were guided through their project by Beth, a pottery teacher. The girls were concentrating and were very quiet! I should have brought some music because nobody talked! Everyone made really pretty flower pots, then had the cupcakes and we went home!
This week the pots will be fired in a kiln then I'll deliver the finished product to the home of each girl.

BYU Hawaii

We are so happy and excited that Garrett was accepted to BYU-Hawaii! He's been checking his e-mail twice a day and called from school to tell me the good news. He wanted to go somewhere warm, international, and a small school, and Hawaii fits the bill. So our son will be studying and living the good life! School starts September 13th, and new student orientation is a few days before that. I think it's going to take at least Mom and I to get him into school properly, and if other family members would like to join to help him get into school, we'd love to have you come along. We have a "time-share" in Hawaii and could have a few extra people come along!
