Week in Review...

Picture of the current YSA Bishopric for the Tri-Valley Region in California....

 We celebrated Carrie's birthday at the park with a little cake. It was pretty cold, but we loved being outside.

 Trying to keep the wind from blowing out the candles...

 My sweet dad has been bishop of the Young Single Adult Ward for the last 3 years and is being released today. He has been such a good leader for the youth, he just loves being with them and they love him. I'm sure that the youth will miss him lots. My dad had so much traveling involved in this calling, the church building is in another town and so every meeting, every activity he had to travel long distances to and never complained. He led the youth with a young, energetic heart and I'm so blessed to call him my dad. Love you dad! And my mom served just as faithfully by his side, making the commutes to the church probably just as often and without complaining as well. She will be missed by the youth as well, they both did a great job!

 My mom surprised him last week with this Birthday cake for my dad, his 70th birthday is coming up on the 18th and you would never know it! Look at how young he looks!! Love ya Daddy!

 Ashlyn came home with several ribbons from her field day activities. She tied for first place on the mile! I think we may have a little track star on our hands, she loves to run!

 I used to babysit for a little baby boy- I watched him from when he was 3 months old to just over a year old before I had to stop watching him because of my school hours. His dad would come and pick him up from me, because he worked nights. Tragically, this dad passed away this week leaving behind his wife and young son. Since I know the family pretty well, I helped with a lot of the funeral prep and was in charge of the luncheon. We spent 6 hours getting the church ready on Friday and then about 4 more hours doing the actual luncheon on Saturday. It was a labor of love and my heart is broken for my sweet friend who has lost her husband. Hold those you love tight!

 Rick took Ashlyn and Jacob kayaking on Saturday, they were crazy and even got into the water!
