We had another eventful week! Rick and Ashlyn had 2 soccer practices this week and a soccer game. Jacob had scouts and Haley had a YW's activity. We had some dumpsters delivered to our neighborhood for a neighborhood clean up event and we love to go dumpster diving to find treasures! I found an adirondack chair that I'm going to paint and this really old cool table. The leaves on the side can go down or they can stay up, the top was badly rusted and the wood was peeling off. It looked like it had been stored outside, so I knew that I would need to sand it down. As I was sanding, the wood kept peeling off, so I decided that I need to take off the whole top layer of wood in order for it to look nice. So that's where I'm at right now, trying to peel off the top layer, here is my progress so far...
I also had Activity days where we learned some cardio drills and did a yoga session, the girls loved it!
On Friday, I met Rick at the Mesa Temple and we did sealings for 16 family names! It was so neat!! Rick was able to stand in for Papa as he was sealed to his parents Herbert Christian Hahn and Lillian May Hulsizer Hahn. The spirit was very strong and I felt the presence of Papa in the room. I felt overjoyed and couldn't stop the tears! So grateful for the precious temple ordinances! I'm addicted to family search! I've added four generations of pictures to family search and ancestry.com, it is so much fun being able to put a face with a name. Randy is able to find all of these neat pictures, it's been so fun!
On Saturday we had a very busy day! We started out by trimming our front tree, then we went to the lake and swam and played on the beach and then we went to a neighborhood dance party! Rick and I learned how to swing dance!
I also caught Ashlyn reading....wahoo!!
These are our neighbors the Burnetts, their daughter Holly was born 1 day after Abby in the same hospital. I even visited Lindi in the hospital a day after Holly was born, I wheeled Abby down in her little bassinet and in my hospital gown because I was the compassionate service leader. She is now pregnant with twins! So exciting!
Holly and Abby dancing at the party...
Our oranges are growing on our tree...
The lake was freezing, but I acclimated pretty quickly. Of course, then it was hard to get out of the water...love the lake!
Where is that lake? Is it far from your house? Looks so nice and fun! Lindsey you look amazing! So skinny! That's neat that you were able to go to the temple with family names! I would love to actually have family names to go through for instead of strangers!
