The Fun Weekend

Best Friends

 So, we had a great and very busy weekend.  My oldest turned twelve and was ordained to be a deacon.  My parents flew in from Las Vegas and then Mike's parents flew in from Salt Lake Saturday morning and then the fun began.  We met up at On the Border for lunch where we all enjoyed a lot of guacamole, chips, salsa, enchiladas, and then Rachel and her cheeseburger?!  We then went over to Barns and Noble and Joseph picked out some books from my parents and us.  Next on the agenda was bowling at Brunswick Zone where everyone had a great time despite the music being ridiculously loud.  All the boys and the little girls bowled with the moms making up the cheering section.  All three of the big boys bowled great games and all "pretended" they "knew" what they were doing while us moms were laughing at them behind their backs in this case literally!  After bowling, the boys stayed for a game of laser tag and playing in the arcade and we girls dashed over to American Girl Doll Store where Grandma Romney spoiled the girls and got them two new outfits for the dolls!  We then all met up again and drove over to see our sweet Katherine and left her some usual pink roses.  Getting back just before dark, we all enjoyed cake and ice cream and then a late dinner playing games until bed time.  Sunday morning was quiet and relaxing.  We took pictures before leaving for church and then off to church for the real reason for everyone being there for the weekend.  Joseph was sustained in sacrament meeting and then later ordained in his quorum.  It was a sweet and tender experience I am so proud of his decision that he made to receive the priesthood.  He will now embark on the adventure of mutual.  A new chapter has been opened in our lives.  Congratulations to my sweet, sweet son.
