Weekend 'O Fun

We had a busy busy weekend. Ryan was home Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was so nice to have him home. Friday night we went to a Branch Luau. It was held at our R.S. Presidents "farm". It wasn't really a farm but a house in the country with lots of land. It was really pretty. We played games, ate food, and watched a small version of a hula dance. Aidan kept waiting for the fire dancer to come out and was sadly disappointed when there never was one. We had a really great time. My camera's batteries died after 2 pictures. You can see in the background that we are up on a hill looking over the area. It really was a great setting.

Saturday Ryan took Aidan to an airshow in Columbus, Ohio. I will have Ryan post his own dialog of what they saw and experienced because if you heard it in my words it would be "They saw a lot of airplanes. " I was in charge of our Primary activity that day so Lacey and I stayed home. She was a little devastated that she didn't get to go. The whole day she kept saying ,"They better miss us, those boys." I completely agreed with her.
I am so happy to have the activity over and done with. It was learning about service. It is quite a stressful thing putting together an activity. We had a really good turnout which I didn't expect and I think things went fairly well, with only a few problems. I learned a lot. This was my first one and I realized what works and what doesn't work. So hopefully the next will be better and run a little more smoothly.
After the activity Lacey and I went to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse Grill. I wanted to make sure Ryan felt really bad for not being with us and I knew this would get him good. Unfortunately Lacey fell asleep in the car and then slept all through dinner. Which in a sense was a good thing because I had a nice relaxing delicious dinner. We did a little shopping and then headed home for the Relief Society Broadcast. We just watched it at home. It was so relaxing and invigorating to listen to. I loved Pres. Monson's talk. I liked the quote don't hope your abilities are up to the task but hope your tasks are up to your abilities. Something like that.
Ryan got home just after the broadcast. Just in time to watch the end of the UW/USC football game. It was a good game but a sad loss for the Huskies.
I'm so glad this weekend is over. It was fun but exhausting at the same time.

The country estate looks so beautiful and I can see you were all decked out in your Hawaii outfits. How fun!! I'm glad your Primary activity was a success. The kids really love that they feel special and it gives them something of their own to look forward to. Way to go Tiffany!! Love MOM

Gotta love Girls nights out. I really am dying to meet your little ones-- they are so darn cute. That air show looks awesome.

Are you the primary pres? You would be awesome. Primary is a lot of work, but so rewarding:) I get to do the music now, and I feel like I am on stage all the time, (don't worry-- I don't flap my arms around and pretend I have a microphone like I did in high school, I wouldn't want to scare them!!)
