Quick visit from Grandpa

We were very pleased to share our FHE with the Hendel Family and with Grandpa Tolman last evening. With a quick trip to the base, he was able to join us and treat us all to dinner at the park. Following dinner, Michael asked if Grandpa could come home with us and participate in the blessing I gave each of the kids before the school year. Since we go to a year round school, the kids started today. Tom agreed and we were happy to have him. I am sure that Michael will have fond memories of his Grandfather and I exercising the priesthood on his behalf.

Family Home evening delayed

So, in honor of Pioneer Day (july 24th is the day that Brigham Young arrived in the great salt lake valley with the rest of the Mormons fleeing from Illinois) Amy got some supplies to make an edible craft for our Family Home evening this week. For one reason and another we just got to do it this evening.
Here is the plan:

Here are our versions:




Circlin' the wagons.

It was really fun and a good time to explain the to the kids on how we can protect and depend on each other as a family.
