Christian's Birthday Party


It just so happened that we were doing our site seeing shopping in town, when we discovered the Homecoming parade was about to start. So we parked in front of Cannon's Middle School and watched. The other old building that the VFW are in front of is our Tabernacle. Very pretty, we love the meeting we get to go to in there.

Homecoming Parade

Our first visitors came up the weekend before Christian's fourth birthday. Mom, Aunt Teeny, and Pop. We had lots to do. Pumpkins to carve, Homecoming Parades to attend, 4 talks to give in church, birthday presents to unwrap, and of course tours of our lovely Dingle to give. Wow, it sounds like more work than it was. We had a great time.

Cannon and Gabe gave awesome talks once again. Gabe picked to do his on baptism, and told where each of the 16 prophets were baptized. Cannon chose his subject on having a positive attitude. He told a great story of how a boy learned to love to do the dishes, and a story about a giant corndog. Then finished up with scripture stories, and personal stories. They make me so proud. Next time I am calling in sick, or making them write my talk for me! Larry gave his talk on Christlike love, and mine was on setting personal goals. Glad they are over!

Christian turned four on the 19th. Ever since his birthday, he thinks he can ask for EVERYTHING he sees on T.V. He really thinks he will get it. Maybe he was a little too spoiled. What will he think after Christmas?

Well that is a brief synopsis of our last couple weeks. I love this so much more than writing in a journal.

The boys love to go play at the creek. We went down today to see the berries on the bushes all over the place. It was fun, but cold. Of course the weather yesterday while they were at school was perfect. Larry, Christian and I were able to go plant our bulbs for next spring. But today with all the kids home it is a little too cool to play outside. Well, we are going to go pick out our pumpkins later and have a good time in the house!
