We had a visit from my dad last week, and then from Papa and Grandma Beutler. It was wonderful to listen to Papa share his special experiences of missionary work with us. He is a great example to each one of us. Grandma made us some delicious peach cobbler Sunday night. All the peaches in the orchards around us are ripening now.
On Monday night we went out to dinner (at Bajio), had dessert at Costco, and watched a "movie" in Japanese at the temple visitor's center. It was a fun evening for all.
Papa brought us a small guitar and a ukulele on his visit. He gave Trevon some lessons too. Trevon picked it up quickly and has enjoyed learning to play some chords. I even caught him playing and singing "Hey, good lookin; what'chya got cookin..." just like Papa does!
Corban was Papa's buddy and enjoyed taking naps with him, playing and singing too.
Mid week, we enjoyed listening to Nanami play the piano and spending time with her. She will be heading home to Japan this next week and we will miss her. Cari is a member of the Youth City Council for Hurricane. She had a City Council meeting this week and sat in between two councilmen in front of the meeting. It was interesting for her to participate in the goings-on of the city and to hear her "report" of the meeting. She has an "official looking" shirt and attends regular meetings. The past week she has also helped with a city service project as part of her responsibilities. Mike, Trevon and I also got to participate by offering our muscle to the project. We "played" on Friday night at the Washington Recreation Center, at a patient appreciation night given by our orthodontist. It didn't even hurt when the big water bucket tipped over and poured out above me. Since then, we've enjoyed some rain in the area. The nights and mornings are cooling off and we're thankful for the beauty of where we live.
