The Beehive House

Today (Sunday) our family was asked to go to a living-assistance home called The Beehive House and do the sacrament for some elderly ladies. Our topic was family. We arrived at 9:30 and was early enough that we were able to sit in the living room and talk with a few of the women. Ty spoke, I played the violin  accomp. Hailey and Emma (Families Can be Together Forever) and Nate spoke last. Wow what a beautiful spirit. That congregation of 25 created such an amazing feeling even with half of the women staying in their beds and just listening (they were not able to get out). Even Nathan had a hard time keeping it together, and that man doesn't cry easily! It was a fantastic Sabbath. We had a yummy roast, nap, Aliens in the Attic movie, and candy bars to finish the day. :) Lovely lovely lovely...

Other happenings this week:

Tyler and Hailey participated in Federation, which is an opportunity to play two memorized piano pieces in front of 4 judges on the awesome Steinway at the Middle School. SCARY!! They received scores of Superior and Excellent. We are all so very glad that is over. The stress...

Tyler and Nathan have been working on a rocket for scouts Pow-Wow. Fun activity for those two. BUT, this picture shows Tyler's desire to create the "Justin Beiber" hair. (grrr). We told him he has to have short clean-cut missionary hair to pass the sacrament in Sept., so he begged us to let him grow it out until then. Everyday he looks in the mirror and tried to flip it to the side. How come children have to have their own opinions about their hairstyles!?!

 I'm still trying to secretly record him swishing it over and over in the mirror. heehee..
