He can really hit

It was a great day for the children because Sarah and Andrew came home.  They didn’t see Andrew until later because he went from the airport to work.  They were beat because they had been flying all night.  The children were so happy to see their mother and so were we.   We called President Justice but he wasn’t home.  Thank goodness I was feeling better than the day before.

Today is Reynolds birthday and he is excited about having his birthday party at Chucky Cheese.  He was so

birthday pancakes

excited and so were his little friends.  They had fun playing the games.  Sarah made a really cute cake and they all had fun.  We had Sarah get a Checkers game for him and he hasn’t stopped playing it.

While we were at Chucky Cheese President Justice called and Willard asked him if he knew anymore about where we going to be stationed?  He said that he wouldn’t know that information until the 15^th.  We are leaving on the 16^th.  It seems that the couple that was in Polacca,  and left their RV there, wouldn’t know until that date whether they would be returning.  If they can we would go there but if not we will be in Kayenta.  Polacca is a small town of about 2,000 with an average income of 11,000 a year and the nearest gas station in 21 miles away. It has one ward.   Then Kayenta is known at the Gateway to Monument Park.  It actually has about 3 gas stations and 2 wards.  They just got and RV in and we maybe staying in that.  We will see. We will go where the Lord wants us to go.

A beautiful day at the park

Kids on Itouchs

She loves her grandpa

It was beautiful weather today and we all went to the park up the street.  The kids rode their bikes around the loop in the park.  Jane was so funny.  She picked up her bike and started to ride is (Without training wheels)  She said.  “ I still can remember how to ride it after all these years.”  She is so her mother’s daughter.   I meet some of Sarah’s neighbors and there were lovely to talk with.   The kids really love playing of the Itouches.

I am so thankful that we were able to go to the Denver Temple.  It was a wonderful temple and beautiful too.  I was good to get away and enjoy the peace of the temple.   When we got back we had some messages, one was from brother Rowley mentioning that the Bishop wanted us to speak on the 12^th.  I thought we had dodged the bullet but it caught up to us.  We have to speak on

We decided that we needed to leave from Genes at Springville on the 19^th so that we can get to Page a little earlier,  so that we can get to our destination earlier in the evening.  Dr. Moody agreed to see me earlier however, I found out that he will actually be coming home from his vacation and will meet us there at the office.  How grateful I am for his kindness and thoughtfulness.  I called Dr Madareous office to see if he would give me an order to go to the Warferin clinic.  Hopefully, they will call me tomorrow so I can get my blood checked.

Sarah getting her exercise

A great big snowstorm hit Denver today.  The snow was about 8” deep at the beginning of the day and it snowed all day.  It must have been about 12” by the end of the day.  Andrew even came home early because of the snow.   Sarah and I went to the store and it was quite empty because there was a run on the store.  We hope that our flights aren’t cancelled.  There were about 600 flights that were canceled. We checked at the end of the day and it was still scheduled. 

I got Netflix  so we watched movies to keep them entertained.

We left early in the morning to go to the airport.  There was about 6” of new snow.  We almost got stuck as we backed out of the driveway but Andrew was able to get us out.  Everything was going smoothly until as we were just about to board the plane I got a text from Deborah saying she wasn’t going to be picking me up.  The part I missed was the first part of the message saying that Whitney was picking us up.  I only read the second part not aware that there was a first part.  So when we got to Boise we took a taxi home and then I found out that Whitney was waiting for us at the airport.  I guess that shows how text challenges I am.

I was so proud of myself I actually got the antenna set up so that we get the locals and even got Netflix on the big TV, but I just can’t figure out the little TV.

It was great to be back at the ward.  I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to play for the children.  They are such a joy and I love how they sing with such great enthusiasm.  Next Sunday will be a full day.  We talk and then after church will be set apart and then the open house at Deborah’s.  We have so much to do between now and then.
