Busy Saturday!

On August 24 we had a very BUSY Saturday.  In the morning we went to the Stake Center and got to watch the broadcast of the Fort Collins Colorado Temple Ground Breaking.  It was amazing to be able to watch and 'participate' in that momentous occasion. It was amazing to hear the testimonies and feel the spirit around that meeting and to know that we are preparing for another temple of the Lord.  The  Fort Collins Temple will be our new temple district and we are excited that it is finally getting started (still about 2 years until it is completed).  

Then we had the sweet opportunity to see Jacob get baptized.  We are so proud of him and of his decision to be baptized into the church (and can't believe he is already 8- wow). We had Jacob's Birthday party the next day- but I have included some of those pictures here also!

We then rushed home to host the Elder's Quorum Ice Cream Social at the park across the street from our house.  It ended up raining so we had to move all the stuff and the Elder's Quorum & Families (not to many people because of the weather) into our house.  But, as always, it was fun having people over to our house and getting to know some of the guys from Elder's Quorum better.

THEN we drove up to Longmont to have dinner and games with Mom and Dad (kind of for Mom's Birthday but... kind of not) and to see the Dawson's as they made one final stop in Longmont on their long ride home to Virginia (from dropping Michael in Logan to go to school at USU). 

It was a long day but it was so much fun and we got to see so many people!!
