Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

Backyard Fun and Abby's Birthday

We got to stay in Utah long enough to celebrate Abby's birthday.  Earlier in the day we got out the slip and slide and the pool.  The water in Provo is ice cold coming out of the faucet so granddaddy helped out the kids by bringing several pots of hot tap water to the pool and even boiling a pot or two of water to help take the chill off!  After playing in the water for several hours the kids were getting pretty tired so we let them have a rest and then we went out to Aunt Suzanna's house for the party.  Abby wanted a Minion party.  The night before on Monday we went to the movies to see the new Minions movie.  The movie was a total bust but the kids had fun and the theater we went to was fantastic!  At the party we had yummy Chinese food- and that is stretch coming from me because I am a Chinese food snob.  I really have a hard time with anything other than PF Changs but this one was really good and I enjoyed it.  After dinner Abby opened her many presents and made sure to give a big hug to each person after she opened up their gift.  Then we had cake and ice cream.  Aunt Suzanna made the cake but had an edible minion picture made from Macey's for the top.  Aunt Suzanna makes yummy yummy cakes!  Cayden was the Madi-whisperer again that night.  He did a really great job holding her and keeping her happy.
