Cody at Troy's Party!

Here are the warriors from Troy's party!  Quite a group!

Troy is a Deacon!

Sunday January Eleventh Troy turned 12 and his Dad also ordained him a Deacon.  It was a wonderful experience.  Next Sunday he will pass the Sacrament.  

He had a low key birthday on Sunday, however his party on Saturday was quite different.  Brian took several boys up to Kelly's uncles property in Vacaville and they played with some kind of air gun things for several hours.  They had a great time!  

When they came home they ate pizza and cake.  I slept through the whole party on the couch in the family room until they got ready to sing Happy Birthday when I finally woke up.  Imagine sleeping with boys running around eating pizza!  Brian said, "I thought you wanted to come to Troy's party not sleep through it".  Troy woke me to ask if I was dead.  I guess I was a party poo per.

Emily gave her first talk in Sacrament meeting on Sunday.  I head that she did a wonderful job.

As everyone now knows Cari and Kelly are having baby boys this spring.  Laura and Steve will let us know when the baby comes if it is a boy or girl.  

I count my blessings every day for a wonderful family.

Suggestions for Trans Pacific Flights

Wow, am I having a hard time adjusting to Las Vegas time! The first two nights I was up all night and slept all day. That was crazy. Now I am falling asleep by about 3 am and getting up by 10:30 am or later sometimes. So my suggestion is allow at least one week to adjust to the time and if you are over 60 it might take two weeks!

My goal for today is to unpack my suitcases so I can repack them to go to California for Troy's birthday and receiving the priesthood on Sunday. It is hard to believe that he is turning 12 and will be a deacon. I remember the day he was born and how happy we all were! And how cute he was as a baby and still is, check out his smile on the Christmas picture they sent!

Next week when Joy sends me video I will let Calvin announce to all of you, his new name for me. I had to get it on video because Brian will NEVER believe me.
