Priesthood Session

Between the Saturday afternoon and Priesthood session, We went and had dinner with James and Charity.  While James and Michael went to Priesthood, Allison went with Charity and some of her friends to a Corn Maze. 

 Allison got to sit in the back seat with these fine fellows.

All About Isaac Really

So Isaac turned one recently, like 2 months ago, but he only had a birthday party about 1 month ago.  Well someone, or multiple of someones, make a cool Robot cake and some cake pops. Both of which were delicious.

 James cutting the Cake...Isaac was a little too small to do it himself.

Some singing of "Happy Birthday"

We also got to babysit Isaac for a little while, when his parents were at a cosine's wedding, which was fun.

 Here he is smashing the recycling down.  To me it looked a lot like churning butter.

 Here he would put the ball in the cup and get it stuck. Then try to get it out.  When that was successful, he would then put the ball back in.

At one point Michael called his family to talk with them.  Of course Isaac wanted to play with the cellphone, but Michael wouldn't let him.  So Isaac just cuddled with Michael while he talked.  It was cute and I should have taken a picture, but didn't.  After Michael was done talking to his family he called Allison's phone, and we had fun with the echos. We then drove him up to the wedding reception.

Stake Opening Social

It was a western theme.  The food was good and they had fun games.  We brought Zach along with us. Zach and Michael had fun playing horse shoes.  I even have pictures to prove it.

The 2 also played a game involving watermelon and playing cards.  The object was to throw as many card into the open face watermelon (they had it sliced and propped up) in a minuet or so.  Michael was good at it.  Zach kept getting a card to stick the wrong way, it was laying flat up against it, preventing any other cards from getting into the watermelon.  I don't have pictures to prove it.

Talks

 So one of my goals for the year was to read conference talks before the next General Conference. (I might not make it).  Today I read this one Tell Me the Sroties of Jesus by Elder Neil L. Andersen. Now, I do have a strong testimony that Jesus is the Christ.  But I don't talk of him much (now, this could be because I don't talk much in general).  Jesus Christ is a large part of my life, I should talk of him more in my life.  I now may have to make a new goal for life.  It shouldn't be hard to talk and share the stories of Jesus.

I just wanted to share.  Now back to school work: Future Trends of Disasters. (What I've found so far from research is that disasters are going go up. The times before Jesus comes again. (I'm working on improving already)).

The Hogle Zoo

We went to the Hogle Zoo together.  I think we were able to see everything. 

Of course we saw the Elephants!

This is baby Zuri.

I love elephants!

This little weighing this tells you if you weigh as much as a baby elephant or rhino, as much as a elephant can carry and thing like that.  It was off by 50 lbs or so.  Don't worry Zach does not weigh 200lbs, I'm pretty sure that Chet is not the weighing pad as well.

There was glass separating us and the monkeys and there was a branch or something that came right up to the glass.  The monkey came right up to the glass looking at us, so Chet got the camera up to the monkey's face and took a picture.
