Great Fun!

Our family came and went this weekend without a hitch. It was so much fun to see everyone. It was really a wonderful weekend.

Bob was so great at his baptism. The spirit was so strong in the room. His Aunt Jen spoke about the Holy Ghost. We are so blessed to have him as our companion after we are comfirmed. I am so proud of him and his faith in the Gospel. I know that he will do wonderful things in the church and as a missionary. Bob was comfirmed on Sunday during Sacrament, Rod did a very nice job, you could tell he was really listening to the spirit. It is so wonderful to have the priesthood in our family. It is such a blessing to have the Gospel.

After the baptism the children went and swam at the hotel with Grandma and Grandpa. I took some time to clean up and prepare for dinner. Rod spent the whole day setting up our much needed swamp cooler (it is wonderful). So Grandpa G. ended up doing all of the BBQing. The Tri-Tip was fab. Dinner was a bit late, but everyone so sweet and patient with me. I think everyone enjoyed visiting. It was fun to have our friends there too. Our Utah friends were able to get to know our Reno friends. That was pretty neat. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

On Sunday along with the confirmation, Darren was blessed. Again you could tell Rod was listening to the spirit. It was so beautiful. Darren was very well behaved and very cute in his white outfit.

So now it is back to life as usual. It was hard to switch gears, but when you are faced with mountains of laundry that were neglected all weekend it is not hard to get back to normal.

Thank you to everyone who took the time and money to come and share these wonderful moments with us. We are so grateful that all of you are a part of our lives.
