Full weekend

Josh watched the two kids yesterday while Heidi took care of things at her ward's Relief Society Super Saturday. She has spent hours putting together projects, taking care of the sign-ups, purchasing supplies, and then making sure it all came together. It did! Lots of sisters came and they seemed to enjoy the things they were doing and the company of one another. I enjoyed watching her in action, making a few items for myself, and helping some of the sisters with their projects. Heidi is an amazing woman--and Josh is an amazing support to her.

Today was stake conference--the regional broadcast. Mike's dad came out, and even Mikie and Charesa came to conference with us. Mike was sustained as a part of the stake high council today. President Willard (stake president) made a special point to be the one to set Mike apart. What a wonderful and powerful blessing he gave Mike. When I got to the car I immediately wrote down some of the things said. Mike will do a great job with his responsibilities which include working with the young single adults.

After conference Heidi, Josh, kids, Mikie, Charesa, and Mike's dad came for dinner. Pretty crowded, but fun to have family gathered together.

Heidi and Sy

Some of the men at the dinner table. Roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, green beans and salad. For dessert, pumpkin pudding and whipped cream.

Sy has learned to play with the driving toy. Sometimes she likes it, and sometimes the noises scare her.

Grandpa Wakefield, Heidi, Sy, and Deegan.

We don't get many pictures of Grandpa Wakefield, so we take advantage of it when there is a chance.

Josh--

Thanks all for coming over! I love having family around and hope to do it more often.
