seminary idea
last night as i was reading through the ensign, i spotted a book of mormon scripture mastery and it reminded me of something my seminary teacher did: any time you found a scripture mastery in a church magazine article or heard it in general conference, you could bring it in and you'd get some little prize or something. he just had a bag of goodies or something you chose from. but two people couldn't get a prize for the same article. just an idea!

Beautiful Salt Lake Temple Wedding Viideo
Evan found this beautiful wedding video on YouTube and I thought I'd share it with y'all. Of course, we don't know the couple, but I love the snow and the way it was filmed and edited. It would be great to show to a Young Women group for a lesson or a special program. My favorite part is the intro with the "I Love to See the Temple" music in the background and the very end where the groom is twirling and lifting up the bride. Aren't temple weddings wonderful? We loved both of y'alls! Thanks for being able to go there!
Two Trivia Answers
First, I will repeat the trivia answer to Chris' 5th birthday: For dinner that special night, Chris requested - b. chicken nuggets and carrot slices.
Chris wanted everyone to eat his favorite meal. Remember in 1986 the stubby mini-carrots we eat today weren't invented yet. Karen would purchase long carrots and cut them into slivers.
On Chris' 5th Birthday, we celebrated with a fun birthday party at Caldwell Zoo.
The answer to Katie's 5th birthday trivia question is - "Balloon Theme." If you can recall, the kids started the afternoon by playing balloon relay games in the driveway - like popping balloons by sitting on them on the brown folding chairs. Then they popped balloons by stomping on them in the front yard. Karen and Evan had blown up several garbage bags full of balloons.
For Katie's 5th Birthday, Karen made individual "hot air balloon" cupcakes for every child.

Evan's Journal Trivia #2
September 28, 1989 - Katie's 5th Birthday
When Katie turned 5 years old, we celebrated her birthday on Friday afternoon, September 29, with a big birthday party. Katie invited 8 friends, plus with Chris, a total of 10 kids participated in the fun events. Karen made sure the party was a huge success. Roma had moved to Tyler a few months earlier and was at the party helping behind the scenes.
Katie's party had a special "theme" that was carried out the whole afternoon. The theme was a big part of the party games, the cake, the decorations and the party favors. Can you remember Katie's fifth birthday party theme?
Please reply and tell us what you remember about the theme. Please comment about anything else you remember about this special day.

Labor Day "Labor" - and Fun
It didn't take long for Evan and Chris to retrieve the new swing set from the Jensen's abandoned backyard (using the black Ram truck) and place it in Max's backyard.
Then with everyone helping, we quickly transformed the previous homeowner's neglected space into a beautiful flowerbed.
We had time to spare for an early dinner at Pappasito's. Everyone was too hungry to let me take this picture over again so all would look their best.
And finally, hungry Max shows off his "shiner."
