September Stuff

 Some fun things that happened in September...

We went to see Andrew play in the University of Utah Band.  He's in the trumpet section and has marked in yellow the following two pictures of where he is located.   It was very fun-- we won..and it rained!

We had one of our members at Water Tower get Re-baptized.  It was very special.  Bill Cromarty is such a great guy.  We only know these guys at this point in their lives...not as felons.  We don't know the victims and the heartache in their families-- so it's a balance....But I believe in the Atonement of Jesus Christ and that repentance is real and we get chance after chance.  

I took Kathleen Blake, Erin Perkins and Kim Johnston to dinner and a concert at Layton Amphitheatre--and we had a great time. I'm grateful for friends.

And I took Kathleen Blake and Bonnie Benedict to see Little Shop of Horrors at CPT.

We had both our kids' Primary programs at the same time on the same day, so I went to Addison's kids and Wayne went to Monson's girls.  It was all very nice.   Alfie sang in a small group and he also played a piano solo.  George was exactly George-- it was hard for him. He did not want to be there and came dressed like a game show host in a sparkly silver lame jacket, a striped shirt and shorts.   Addison is the primary song leader-- so I watched him a lot too.  Poppy was perfect.

Our Band continues to play about 3 gigs a month at various Rest Homes around the Wasatch front and we still enjoy this ministry so much.  We love singing songs of the 50's, 60's, and 70's to old folks.  They are so complimentary and remember lyrics to songs when they can't remember much else. 

Sophia decided on a Saturday morning that she was going to go with a group of girls to Viewmont's Homecoming dance.  So we had to find a dress, shoes, do hair etc... in just a few hours.  She had a blast and it was totally worth the crazy.

Grand kid game night was a highlight of the month... we didn't get Andrew and Sophia ( they are too busy for this now) but the other littles just love getting together and this night Wayne broke out his new soft ice cream machine!
