Weekend Fun!

 THIS is what happens when you become a member of the family of Student Class Officers at Riverton High School!!! :)

Saturday morning at 4:30 a.m. I opened the door (I knew they were coming because we had made plans the night before) and let in 5 students INCLUDING the one wearing the Silver Wolf Mascot, to go to Dallin's bedroom, wake him up, and kidnap him to go on an early morning sunrise hike and breakfast!

It was pretty hilarious to watch since Dallin had NO clue what was going on!

He kept on pulling the covers over his head before he finally realized this was REALLY happening and it WASN'T a dream!

 He got back home about 4 hours later and told me all about it and I was so happy for him! I LOVE that my children are having experiences that are fun and unique and building their character and shaping them into the people they were meant to be! :)

Also this weekend we all got to take a turn serving at the Jordan River Temple open house! Afterwards, we took a bunch of boys home too, but not until we stopped at SWIG for a soda and a cookie! 

Clint and I also went to game 6 of the playoffs and the JAZZ WON!!! It was so much fun to be there and to feel the energy in the arena as all of the fans cheered their team on to victory!!!

 Now they are advancing on to the next round where they are playing the Rockets! They already lost their first away game yesterday...Houston is a TOUGH team and it might be a huge miracle if the JAZZ can get a win off of them...but no matter what happens we are the 6th man and we will cheer them on and support our team!!! GO JAZZ!!!

We also had cousins stay the weekend with us! Madyson  came with us to watch Kambriella's volleyball game...and Gavin set a new personal record of hitting 4 THREE POINTERS in one game!!! Way to go Gavin!!!

 We also went swimming in the pool for the first time this year!!!

It was 85 degrees on Saturday and the PERFECT opportunity for a fun swim!

 At first Kesslyn didn't want ANYTHING to do with the water and would scream and cry anytime anyone would try to make her come in, or splash and get her wet...but then suddenly, out of the blue, she jumped up, ran towards the slide, and then shouted, "Catch me Dallin!!!"

And that was it!

She was hooked!

 She kept on going down the slide over and over and over...and then Dallin would help her "swim" all around the pool!!! She was in HEAVEN and didn't even want to get out when it was time!

 All the cousins played and had a ball!

 Even little Leighton too...;)

 And now we just need school to hurry up and get over so that we can have some summer FUN FUN FUN!!!!

 Then, on Saturday night, we treated everyone and my mom to dinner where we ran into these cute missionaries! The one on the left is named Elder Bretschneider, and said that his best friend is Elder Anderton who is serving in the exact same mission as Carew...and who has actually been with Carew!!! It is such a small world and it was such a good feeling to see these young men and connect with them and feel a little bit of closeness to my boy that is serving so far away...

I told these missionaries that it was by "Divine Design" that we saw each other there that day, and I honestly believe it! Heavenly Father is oh so good to us and He watches over us and cares for us, and yet it is usually through another person that our needs our met. MY momma needs were met that day by talking with these fine young men...

I'm grateful for so many things...but today, for MISSIONARIES!!! (And especially the coolest Italian missionary I know...Anziano Trickett!) ;)  ;)
