Hi all! Again, the week was a blur...oh where does the time go? Monday was the normal errands day. Tuesday we waited for a candy order and then it was Webelos day. We did mini pizzas on the grill, but while we were getting the pizzas ready inside, the grill caught fire and there were flames coming out of it and smoke everywhere!! well the pizzas turned out toastier and we had to try a second go around! Jim had presidency meeting that night also. Wednesday was Reagan's soccer practice. Thursday the kids got much needed haircuts and then we went to a new bounce place. It had a few big bounces and a really big climbing net (?) with slides. It was fun cuz "mom" could play too. This was the reward for Reagan earning two months of "green marks" at school. Thursday kids got ready for bed and as soon as Jim got home, Gwen ran to Round Table for Scouts. Friday Reagan went to play with a friend and John and Gwen had the brakes checked before our trip to Pinedale. Friday night Gwen and Jim had a date and then Saturday morning Reagan had soccer pictures and a game. Luckily it was cloudy and windy so it was really nice outside. Right after her game we loaded the van and headed to Pinedale. We had alot of rain and of course that means terrible pinedale mud. Do you Hurdsmans remember the Pinedale mud????? I remember at the first reunion there that the kids would walk around in it and see who could get the most inches of mud on their flip flops. Kind of like platform shoes! "Poppa" and "Tamma" and Rachel joined us at the cabin. Saturday night Jim and Steve went to Priesthood and Gwen and the kids went to the crandell cabin to let the kids play together. They loved Aunt Carolyn's dressup stuff! Sunday the Thornleys came over and we all watched Conference together. It was a nice afternoon. We headed home about 7pm (intentionally) so the kids would fall asleep on the drive. Jim and Gwen haven't had that much quiet to talk in a long time!! Hope all is well...looking forward to hearing about a new baby Hurdsman....Love, Jim Gwen Reagan and John
