Our weekend

Yesterday was the primary program at church. This is always one of my favorite Sundays of the year. After we take the sacrament, the primary children in the ward (ages 3-12) go up on the stand and present talks and songs to tell us what they've been learning all year. Our boys worked hard to memorize their lines, and they all did a great job. It was so dang cute to see Dallin get up there with total confidence and say loud and clear, "I am a child of God. I feel his wuv (love) when I think about Jesus." Spencer also played We Thank Thee O God For A Prophet on the piano during the prelude. He was nervous and didn't play it as well as the hundreds of times he practiced it at home (he had it memorized), but it was a good experience for him, since it was the first time he's played in front of people.
Saturday morning was the cub scout pack meeting. They did a service project to clean up the leaves in the field behind the church. All the kids had a great time (while I sat and visited with Kristen - I love having them in our ward because it makes church activities more fun).

Those kids didn't stop working for almost 2 hours. And then we had grilled hot dogs for lunch.


Here's Dallin being the "I like to move it move it" guy from Madagascar.

One piece of sad news - a little 7 year old girl at church was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Dave is her mom's home teacher, so he went down to the hospital to give her a blessing yesterday morning. Before he left I suggested he offer to have her 2 other little kids stay with us, since they can walk to school from our house. She agreed, and Dave picked them up from their grandpa's house after church yesterday. They are the sweetest little kids, and we are thoroughly enjoying having them here. She has a 7 year old boy (they're twins) and a 6 year old girl. They're supposed to come home from the hospital sometime today.
