DisneyLand

I started a new tradition in the family to take my grandkids to Disneyland when they turn 8. I am not a fan of Disneyland, so this is all for my grandkids! It was so fun to be with Micah! We talked in family night about looking for ways to serve people on our one day in Disneyland. I saw Micah pick up trash that someone dropped and talked to a little girl who was scared. He also tried to help a lady who twisted her ankle, and most of all he wanted to bring back something for his brothers and sisters. He is such a good kid!

His #1 request is that Annalyn go with him...

Micah was so excited...

This was the new Toy Story ride in California Adventures...

Grandkids!

Nothing much has happened lately... I thought I would post a picture of our newest granddaughter Lucy. She is such a cute baby and smiles all the time... I have the cutest grandkids ever!!!  I just love being a grandma!

Timeout

We had a fun day at Timeout. Annalyn, her friend Carly, Carly's mom Candace, and I all went for the mother -daughter timeout! We had a blast!

I Did It!!!

Okay, I just finished the Old Testiment. Can I just say I am no scripture master mind and it was very hard reading for me. A lot of it was just doing it and I was able to get the flavor of the books but not understanding most of what I read. I don't know if I will do it again in my life time because I missed reading the Book of Mormon so much. I think I will take my self out for a ice creme cone to celebrate!!!!

Hayley's Wisdom Teeth

So far I have not had any children choose to get "stoned" (drunk) so I haven't been exposed to that side of life except when they get their wisdom teeth extracted. The effects of the anesthetic must have simularities. Today was Hayley's turn. As she was helped in the car for the ride home she began rubbing my back very gently. She did this systematically for quite sometime and then started laughing as she knocked off my glasses. She then started hitting the door and grabbing at the steering wheel. Then she broke in the sobs and cried the rest of the way home. I manuvered her to the couch where she broke into laughter. Deserie walked by and Hayley hit her. (hidden hostilities)

I have enjoyed the moments driving my children home from having their wisdom teeth removed. (7 so far) It is definately another side of life. No pictures--- she would never forgive me.

Heather's dorm room

Dorm room and Heather 

On Tuesday, i took Heather to college. We flew into Washington D.C. and they lost Heather's luggage. We waited to pick them up the next day when they flew them in from Connecticut. After that, we picked up some things for her dorm, and drove to Buena Vista, Virginia.
Heather's dorm room is brand new this year... She is rooming with a friend from elementary school, and also a girl she hasn't met yet.... I am sure she will have a blast!

This week was full of fun and excitement. My niece, Leslie Aaron and niece Brittney Noble and nephew, Tyler Angle all got married. They are all such great young people and married great people. It was so fun to participate.

At Tyler's sealing the sealer said that they are commanded to cleave to each other. Tyler pulled Mattea close to him (cleaving). And the sealer said that when you cleave there is no space between you, which makes no room for anything to come between each of you. That is how it is supposed to be, that nothing or no one should come between you in thought or deeds.

For Sunday dinner, we had the kids and grand kids over for a birthday party for all of the August birthdays. Aaron Hallstrom, Shannon's husband, turned 25... Bryant Sanders, Chad and Mindy's boy, is turning 4... and Collin Sanders, Jace and Macaia's boy, is turning 3...
