We did not have a very eventful weekend. Friday we went and got some burgers at Chadder's, an IN-and-Out copy. Usually it is very good but this time, not so much. The fries needed salt, I don't think there was any on them, and the buns for the burgers were stale.(not sure how to spell that) They also had a whole salad worth of lettuce on them. I was a little disappointed.

Satur
day I went with mom and Bobbie and got a pedicure. Then went home and sat around, I was really pretty lazy. Kk and I did our finger nails, that was fun. Michael had a meeting with our next door neighbor about real estate development. He said it went well so hopefully they can get something going and start making some money. Saturday night we were supposed to go to dinner with Michael's family but Michael didn't let me know what time we were going until 6:45pm and I was supposed to be to Salt Lake at 7pm. Now I'm speedy at getting ready but not that speedy. So Michael went to dinner and Mom, Dad and Kailye and I went to Taco Amigo. YMMMM! Just as well though because I found out from my sister-in-law, thank you KIK, that Michael's dad was drunk and I don't take Kailye around him when he's been drinking. I also don't like being around him when he's drunk. It's too bad because he hasn't seen Kailye for a while and it's his own fault. Oh well, its not my place to judge but I'm also not going to expose my 4 year old to that type of behavior.

Saturday night Michael and I watched the movie Miss Potter. I loved it! I think it is one of my new favorite movies. It might be because I love Beatrix potter books but it was still great.

Sunday we went to church. We were called to primary a few weeks ago and so far we have had no big "troubles". We do have one little boy who has a story for everything. He is so cute but this week he had a few too many stories. Michael would just keep going and talk over the top of him but he'd keep going until he realized we weren't listening then he would roll his eyes at us. He was so funny.

We have 5 and 6 year old's and our ward, to Michael, is fairly unique. Michael grew up in a ward with a lot of his and her families, single moms, and a lot of poverty. It was also very mixed as far as race, lots of Polynesian friends. He said in his ward when they were little the teacher would tell the scripture stories and most of the kids had never heard them or everyone was so quiet. I our ward there are several people who have quite a bit of money or come from money. Michael used to assume that meant snobbery and people focused on toys and wealth and not as much on their families and scripture. I don't think it was as much an assumption as his own first hand experiences. But in our ward ALL the kids know the stories and they all tell you about there experiences with there families when they learned about the stories. Their is definitely not a lack of family home evening in our ward. It amazes me how much these kids know. Not only about scripture stories but even in the way they talk about their siblings and how loving they are. It shocked Michael to see how well behaved they are and how respectful they are. I guess that just wasn't something he grew up with. It says something about the quality of people we are able to live around. It's so nice. I will be so sad when it's time to move. I'm so grateful for great primary teachers for kk and I miss our gospel docterine class now that we are in primary.



This picture is for "Grandma Great"...Kailye loves her Guatemala dress and braclets!!!

Speaking of moving...we are thinking of moving around September but it all depends on what Michael is making. We might just rent but we are hoping to buy or build. We'll see...I had a fe of you ask.

Peace..love you all.
