What a great weekend!!

We did so much this weekend and it was all so good and so fun. I wish that every weekend could be so full of fun memories to look back on.

Friday afternoon we went to the Draper Temple Open House. What a beautiful Temple that is!! I was just so impressed with the beauty and the Spirit that is in that Holy place even though it has not been dedicated yet. We loved the Celestial Room and also the baptistery. We then made a trip to dinner and then on to Michael's parent's home. Michael's mom has been cleaning out stuff from under her stairs and she had clothes, books, pictures, and blankets all over her floor. Michael and the children decided that they needed to go through all the stuff and find what goods they wanted to keep. James found an old tuxedo that belonged to Grandpa Blair. He tried it on and it fit him like a glove, the pants were another story, they were HUGE on him. Michael wanted to wear his new "smokin'" jacket to church but I refused to let him go to "our" church with that on. The girls found so many treasures that Grandma was just delighted to get rid of all that "stuff".

Saturday found us down in Provo visiting with my parents and Kena Lee. It was great seeing my sister--we don't get to see her very often. It is Mom's birthday tomorrow and we got together for her birthday. Before going to dinner, we stopped in to see that new baby, Quinn. Oh, he is sooooo cute. We just wanted to eat him up. He is so sweet and he is just so new and he smelled so good. I wanted to take him home with me but I don't think Sammie would have beeen too happy about that. It was great seeing Emily. She looks great and seems to be doing well. Congrats to Nathan and Emily for a beautiful baby boy.

We ate at Prestwich Farms with the rest of the family. Mom had all of her children there for her birthday dinner. The food was yummy and the company was great. We went to Karla's house and played games and had cake and ice-cream. We are a loud bunch when we get together and play games. We had a great time and we all laughed at each other. We don't get to be together like that very often. It was great bonding time for all of us. Happy Birthday to my mom who will be 74 tomorrow. Love you Mom---hope this is a great year for you!!
