Today we had a lovely time in the Springville Cemetery where Rich dedicated the new graves of his parents. Rich gave beautiful prayers and it was nice to be there with my parents, Uncle Bill, cousin Adam and five of our children ~ Laura was there in spirit and on speaker phone so that she could hear the prayers.

Next on our agenda was:
Sophie Lynn's Third Birthday!
Michael to Jenny
Jenny to Michelle
Michelle to Trevor
Logan just barely caught that one!
And Jenny is the lucky recipient of the broken balloon!
Sophie opened presents and we had pasta for dinner (her request) and of course, cake and ice cream. Sophie thought blowing out the candles was so much fun that we lit them again and sang a second time so she could blow them out again! (You will recall that she was quite helpful in the blowing out of candles at both Michael's and Jenny's birthdays)
After dinner the kids started an impromptu game of "toss the water balloon"
Logan to Michael
Logan to Michael
Michael to Jenny
Jenny to Michelle

And Jenny is the lucky recipient of the broken balloon!
It was a lovely and delightful day!
It's all good!
It's all good!

Such a FUN day! For real. It was a blast.
That was Jenny-Ha! SORRY.
You have no idea how much I wish I could have been there. I spent the whole day reminiscing about the days we had with Nanna and Papa. And telling my kids and Alan all about them.
For FHE we remembered the story of the Good Samaritan and I testified that my Nanna and Papa were indeed Good Samaritans. And because of that, they had many, many friends. We then looked at all the pictures in their history and I shared many stories and memories with my family.
I think every ten years or so we should have a memory party about Nanna and Papa. It was good to remember them and celebrate them and think about emulating them for a whole day.
It was a great day being with your family on these two special occasions. Thanks for allowing us to be part of it.
We loved being there for both of the celebrations and for the good food you provided. Thanks!
