The Importance of the Family

May it be our resolve to build a gospel-centered home, a safe harbor from the storms of the adversary. -L. Tom Perry,



Today Nate and I had the opportunity to attend a funeral of a man in the ward. He was not active and most of his family had nothing to do with the church. The service was more of a wake than a funeral. People got up and talked about him and were so very sad. At that moment I realized how precious the gospel is to me and my family. As parents we have such a great obligation to teach our children the things the Lord has put in place to protect our families from the storms that lay a head.

Halloween

I am sure glad this Holiday is over... Nate and the Bishopric decided to be the lollipop guild, so I was in charge of pulling it off. I think they sang and dance pretty good for a group of uncoordinated men.


Rori and Gracie were a snow white and dopey. Poor Gracie, got the bad end of the deal, but boy did she pull it off good.

I have some more picture that I will post later this week.

Rori in the Sink

The other night after our ward Halloween party I was giving Gracie a bath in the sink because it was so late and I wanted to hurry. After I got Gracie out and all dressed I went into the bathroom to clean up and this what I found in the sink. She really had to wiggle her self in. We all laughted. I think this will be Rori's last bath in the sink. (Funny I think I said that 3 years ago.)

Summer in Review

Well It seems the summer has gone. So here is just a little review of the things that have happened...

Oakcrest
Uncle Merlin had us come and visit him over the summer at oakcrest. The zip line seemed be a favorite of everyone.



Good Bye Friends
Rori's best friend Tori Mecham moved to Arizon this year. Rori and Tori have been best friends since the day they were born. It has been an adjustment for us all not to have the Mechams close but we look forward to still many year of friendship and cross state visits.



Yellowstone
More info to come

The Town of Mercury

Last week Disney came into town and started setting Magna Main street to film a new Disney movie called "Dad Napped". Main street has been transformed to a totally new place, it is now called Mercury. We all hope it stays that way for a little while.

The Empress Theater is the center point of the movie. It looks a little dead right now but next week I will post some picture of what it looks like while they are filming.
