Bocce and Art

Every year on Memorial Day the Elder's Quorum of the Ames 1st Ward has a get together where where we bring snacks and have a Bocce Challenge. Yes, bocce ball. I had never heard of bocce ball before arriving in Ames, but it's pretty big in this ward. Last year I was too busy with the girls to compete, but this year I was the runner up (by one point). Since the winner had recently moved to North Carolina (his sister was getting married and he was visiting), I am now the holder of the trophy which is prominently displayed in my entry way as outlined under the Rules of Engagement of the Bylaws Governing Award of the Russell Trophy. Yes, it's a serious matter here.



Anne and Megan were drawing pictures of each other a few days ago. Anne's picture has a description as she described to Megan after finishing. (I think she captured Megan's belly well, don't you?) Then she asked Megan to draw a picture.


Too bad Ruby got a few marks on Megan's head with the crayon when no body was looking.

Anne is quite the little artist. She draws beautifully. Congratulations on winning that trophee. What a pleasant piece of art to have in your living room. Can't wait til Lucy gets here!

Anne and Megan are BOTH quite good artists! I didn't know Megan could draw so well! Wow! I've never heard of Bocce before--how fun, though!

GOOD LUCK WITH LITTLE LUCY! I'm so excited that she's coming so soon (I'm sure you are, too!)

Happy Birthday a few days late to sweet Ruby--we love you!

Oh, I guess I'm only one day late in wishing Ruby a happy birthday--my days are all running together, sorry!

Congratulations on the prestigious award!! Leave it to the novice to become the champion- you did have the advantage though just by being a Griffiths!

Can't wait for your little Lucy to arrive- make sure you post up pictures quickly so we can all ooh and ahhh over her!!!
