Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

Rex and I had a wonderful opportunity to go to Spokane
for Valentines/Presidents Weekend. We got there late
Saturday night. Sunday morning was James' Blessing
day in church. Jimmy pronounced a beautiful blessing
upon his son James and Rex was honored to be able to
stand in the circle with several of Jimmy's friends. Carly
was surprised when the Stake President, who just
happened to be speaking that day, asked her to come up
and bear her testimony of the blessings she's received
from the Lord. It was wonderful for us to be able to hear
our daughters beautiful testimony. Afterwards, in Primary,
Hallie got up and said her first scripture. It was a great
day for us to watch our children, learning, growing and
serving in the gospel. After Church we made Valentines
mailboxes and painted Valentines crafts. Monday, we
took Savannah birthday shopping while Hallie was at
dance. Then we all went swimming at the YMCA. Hallie
did some amazing jumps into her mothers arms. Savannah
and Grandma started a game of tag in the pool with Grandpa,
Carly and Hallie. Monday night was a fun treat for all of us
when we got to go to Red Lobster for FHE. Yummy cheese
biscuits and coconut shrimp. Rex and I are so grateful for
Jimmy and Carly and their sweet family. Too bad Spokane
is so far away.
