Fireside one year later


So yesterday I got a message on facebook from Dallas Griffiths. One of Danielle's friends from Pleasant Grove. He came to St. George last year at this time to put on a fireside with his friend Josh Featherstone. They had did some amazing things for the children in Tonga and were going to share that with our youth. The day just did not happen the way it was planned. Dallas, Josh, Danielle and Haley went to Snow Canyon where the boys were long boarding. Dallas fell, or something, we are not sure, and was injured quite badly. So anyway a year later the boys are coming back to put the fireside on now, only this time they will have a little twist of message. They will be speaking to the kids about faith, and how it can get us through. This years theme for the mutual age kids is ""Be thou an example of the believers" (1 Timothy 4:12). I have seen Dallas before and after the accident do just this and think that he will be an amazing example of believing. I can't wait.

Preference and Becca


Last night Becca went to a school dance that is called Preference. This dance the girls ask the boys. Becca asked a boy named Ryan, just a friend, and her friend Jamie asked a boy named Matt, also just a friend. They had a day date where they picked things from a bag that they had to complete, such as, ask someone to be your best friend, play duck duck goose in a crowded area, and ask someone to marry you. They said that it was really fun. Then they went to Jamie's sisters house had lunch and played Wii. The girls then took the boys home and came to our house to get ready for the dance. They picked up the boys went and had pictures taken and came back to our house for dinner. We made Grandma Tudman's speghetti sause, bread and salad. We set up the back yard, had a little fire with the christmas lights on the patio cover. It looked great. A little cold but I think they had fun. All and all the date went well and Becca looked beautiful.

Nana & Papa #5 and 6

So now that the girls have both posted that they are having babies 6 days apart I can talk about it. It was quite the day. Cortney has been trying for about 5 months. Autumn called us and said well guess what? you are going to be a grandma again. I was shocked due to Autumn just going to the Dr. to make sure that that did not happen until they were back from their cruise in May. So anyway Autumn said I am alittle scared to call Cortney, (due to her trying for so long) I told her to call her and make her get a test, it was only 5 days from when she would find out if she was anyway. So Cortney went and got a test, called me and sent a picture of the test with a really light pink line. I told her to go get a digital. Cortney sent Chris to get one and sure enough it said "Pregnant) so here we are Autumn due on July 28th and Cortney due on Aug 2nd. Cortney will have a C section and that will be scheduled the week that Autumn is due. Who knows maybe they will share birthdays. That would be crazy. I am not sure at this time how I will be there for both. Pray for me and the girls that things will work out that I can be there for both. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE? 30 AND 31 WEEKS TO GO.
