| Cameron and Faith- Happy Day! |

Well, apparently I asked my computer for too much. It would only upload 3 photos so I guess I will do a follow-up post another day. Saturday April 23rd, Raul and Amy were married at our church by Bishop Bowles. It was a sweet and short service. Bishop said some nice things and basically gave them some good advice for starting a marriage. There were probably about 70 people in attendance (mostly church friends). We had a small cake and punch reception in the cultural hall and then family and close friends were invited over to our house for a barbecue rib dinner and swimming. Amy had not wanted a cake but since we decided at the last moment to have the church reception, a dear friend from church asked if she could make the cake. I honestly did not know that she could make wedding cakes, I thought she was going to make us "three cakes" to serve. I will post the picture of the cake as soon as I get it figured out. At the house we had a giant Mrs Fields Cookie cake with ice cream in between two cookies. The top cookie was decorated with a bride and groom, real cute. The whole wedding and reception (and bridal shower) were planned and over in a two week period of time. Amy got her dress at Macy's after looking at David's Bridal for 3 hours. Got the kids clothes online (luckily it was Easter time and JC Pennys had the right color and a great sale). I was very pleased with the whole affair, it was nice but not stressful at all. |

quality family time
I hate that I don't have pictures to post with this.
Yesterday we decided we needed to trim the trees in front yard in order to decorate for Christmas. By we, I guess I should say I. I knew Ray wanted to get it done but also wanted to do other things but this was my priority for the day. We had considered hiring a tree trimmer but decided we could use the money elsewhere. So, we started at 10:00 AM and 4 1/2 hours later we were done. Ray used his long pole cutter and started taking off the leafy branches. I used the smaller cutters and cut each branch into 4 ft pieces and then Ryan, Cameron and Faith took these pieces and stacked them nicely in a large pile by the sidewalk for the city workers to come by and collect this week. They also raked and swept into piles all the leaves and put them all in the trash bins. Cam's favorite task was to get in the bins and stomp down the leaves. It was hard work but luckily it was a cool day to work. And as soon as we got done with the trees, we began the yard decorating. It was so worth it! And to add to the day, our next-door neighbor was assembling his large nativity set in his yard and hanging lights. And the neighbor next to him is a city councilman and he and others were assembling the city council float for the parade that night. We had great conversations and shared the Christmas spirit as we all did our thing. It always feels so good to accomplish the hard work while working together- nice quality time. And then we were able go to the parade and relax and enjoy!
