She's 12!
Happy Birthday Addy!
As she came in to Young Women's on the red carpet they played her favorite Primary song, "Teach Me To Walk in the Light."
Alma 57:17-36
17 - Another battle ensues.
18 - The men sent with the Lamanite prisoners return and save the Nephites in battle.
19 - Helaman's 2060 fought valiantly.
21 - They did obey and observe to perform every word with exactness. Even according to their faith it was done unto them.
22 - The Lamanites were driven back to the city of Manti.
23 - The Nephites retain the city Cumeni.
24 - The Nephites dress the wounds of their injured.
25 - 200 of the 2,060 fainted because of the loss of blood. Not one of them did perish.
26 - And the Nephites ascribe it to the miraculous power of God, because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe.
27 - They are young and their minds are firm and they do put their trust in God continually.
28 - After burying the dead, they ask Gid about the Lamanite prisoners taken to Zarahemla.
32 - The prisoners rose up in rebellion against their Nephite guards.
33 - We did slay many of them and the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.
34 - We returned to Cumeni and helped to save our brethren.
35 - Behold, we are again delivered. And blessed is the name of our God; for behold, it is He that has delivered us.
36 - When I Helaman heard these words of Gid I was filled with exceeding joy because of the goodness of God in preserving us.

At 11am we attended the McQueen 2nd ward with Stacy, Paul, Adam (we picked him up), Michael, and Joshua. Bishop Devrin Day use to be James's executive secretary when James was bishop of Del Rio 2nd ward. Jerod Bowen, someone James has done work for and who also use to be in Del Rio 2nd ward is also in this ward.
After the block other family members gathered for Michael's ordination. From our family: Kim and Brian, Sheri, Ian, Alex, Ben, Max, and Evan, James and I, and of course Stacy, Paul, Adam, and Joshua. From Paul's family: Mary and Marvin, Chad and his three older boys, Devin, Kim and some of their kids.
Paul gave a nice blessing along with the ordination.
Maybe a haircut will be next.
When did Alex get taller than Michael?
Group hug
We are proud of Michael and hope he will realize what a privilege it is to hold the Melchizedek priesthood and that he will use it to serve and bless the lives of others.
Trina and Darrel and their kids were not able to attend the ordination because their church is from 1-4. We missed having Jared and his family here too. We went out to see Addy for her birthday this afternoon around 4:30. Darrel was gone to get his temple recommend renewed. We gave Addy her candy bar and I don't know why I didn't get a picture. I did get some pictures while I was there.

Cute little Lola
More craziness
Grandpa was the center of attention.
Trina and Rowan
The book Addy is holding is one her class did in first grade.
Their teacher ask them to be super heroes.
Addy was Fire Girl. She spelled it:
"Fir Grill."
Caution, enter at your own risk.
I showed the kids several club/guest houses while I was there
and this one was the number one choice of everyone:
I guess this is the one James will need to build.
I just need to convince him to put in a bathroom and kitchen.
Back and Cathi and Terry's Cathi showed me how to do zoning for index preparation.
