Herriman is such a great place to live! On Friday night, my kiddies and I, along with the Shirley fam, went to Butterfield park to watch Cars. It was a lot of fun! And FREE! They had a huge blow up movie screen and a fantastic sound system and a little concession stand (of course...) We showed up at 8:45, laid down our blankets, had someone in camping chairs plop down in front of us, moved our blankets to a closer opening and relaxed for a fun night at the park. With popcorn, pretzles and fortune cookies, the kids were really entertained and wanted to stay for August Rush that was playing after, but Cars didn't finish till 11:00... If you can imagine what saturday would have been like had we stayed for another 2 hours!
Saturday, BJ, his Uncle and 2 cousins, headed to the Ogden air strip to experience free flight. Apparently IFLY wasn't enough, BJ needed the real schabang. He loved every second of it and will try and convince anyone to join him on his next excursion (which because of the expense won't be till next year, but if you're interested...). Pictures to follow.
Sunday was Stacie's Birthday and her Daughter was blessed in her ward. (Stacie is BJ's second to youngest sister) Baby Malia was blessed by Grandpa Joe, who did a marvelous job, then later we had a birthday dinner for Stacie at the White house. Dinner was delicious! When I got home I got a visit from michelle who informed me that I missed out on some changes in our home ward. We got a new bishop! Bishop Merrill has been the Bishop of this ward for about 5 years and has done amazing things. He is fun, energetic, sympathetic, and extremely spiritual. I will miss having him as the father of our ward. The new Bishop, Bishop Brown, I got to know briefly as a counselor to Bishop Merrill and am excited to support him as the new Bishop. (Wow, I just said Bishop a lot in one sentence!) I have some great pictures on my other computer of Bishop Merrill, and his counselors during a ward activity that I will have to find and post. They involve dresses, scooters and pie. Stay tuned!
