The night before we got to attend the Temple with Ashley & Benjy. Sure is nice to have them so close by. This was followed by the traditional In & Out Burger time. While this was going on Christina was heading down from Orem to spend the weekend with us. We thought we would spend Saturday hanging out a bit but that didn't work out exactly as planned. The stake presidency never heard back from Elder Keele about the schedule until Saturday so everything was in an uproar. Corine was going to put him up but asked if I could do the dinner with Holly for Saturday night. So Christina and I spent the day planning, buying and preparing said dinner. It was really simple but took alot of time. Their meeting went way over so after all that we had less than 15 minutes to eat it...seriously probably not even that long. So we left the stuff out and ran to the meeting. Then ran in to clean up so they could have a high council meeting in there right after. Kind of a busy day.
Sunday there were no seats to be had in soft comfy chairs and Christina and I ended up half down the cultural hall even a half hour early. Thank goodness Mendis had already spoken or we wouldn't have been able to see or hear very well. After the meeting Christina and I headed over to Henderson so she could see Ashley and fam. We took the back road which is always so pretty but was not too thrilled with the $10 charge they have going on now!!
Ashley made us a fabulous dinner with Rachel Ray chicken and even homemade ice cream. Wow it was good. It was nice that Benjy got to be with us for dinner before he had to head off to work. I had brought over some toys for the boys from the OPD picnic and I have to say they were quite the hit:
Rees with the paddle ball |
Cooper looks hilarious but he loved those silly glasses! |
Hey Dad give em back |
Coop is quite a little cowboy |
The weekend sure flew by just like it always does when any of our kids get to come home. At least I had our FHE bbq at the Keel's to look forward to that night!!
