We have had a really fun weekend so far.  A bit of a rough week at work.  Not a lot going on that can be measured.  that doesn't matter now because the week has been great.  Adam took his Endowment out yesterday at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  He seemed really excited to be starting the process to go on a mission.  He will have his farewell talk at the end of the month.  It has been fun to see the his progress as he begins to focus on leaving for the MTC.  We had Mom and Dad, Grandmother Mildred, Mark and Kim and than Tiffany and I.  There is always a special spirit at a live Endowment of someone I know.  Wondering hpw they are taking it all in. Afterwards we took pictures.  Mom and Dad took Grandmother, Tiffany and I to Dickey's BBQ.  It was really nice.  i have felt like I have not been getting equal time with them when compared to my siblings.  it was fun to have one on one time with them. 

This morning was cabin work day.  We did the normal shoveling rocks for the roads.  Dad likes to go to the cabin work days in June and august even though we are only required to go to one of them.  i think this comes from his being the President of the Association years ago.  I was planning on going with Dad but the rest of the family decided they wanted to come.  We had not yet opened the cabin for they er so there was a lot of cleaning that needed to be done.  Keith came too.  He is consistent in coming to at least of the work days.  The girls cleaned the cabin while the guys shoveled rocks.  We did not stay after the work was done because we needed to get of the mountain for one of hyrum's Rugby matches.  They have these really neat blue and orange jerseys.  Hyrum fills out the jersey very well.  he looks like a rugby player.  The kids did very well.  We need to share the ball more but I'm sure they will figure it out.  hyrum came very close to a try.  He has had a growth spurt lately and has found it hard to run at full speed.  He did very well.  It was a fun experience.  We played AJ's Alpine team.  They are a lot smaller than our boys.  We have more 8 year olds and they are playing with 7 year olds.  We played them twice and beat them both times.  It was fun and very hot.  There are not many teams at this age group so we play the same teams every week.  Tonight we went to the Bailey's and had a BBQ they called a Meat Fest.  We had these when we were in the Bishopric.  We would have the Bishopric over and everyone would bring their best BBQ.  it is always good food.  We brought pulled pork which I did not think was very good.  It was leftover from emma's end of year party.  we normally try to do something fancy but we did not have time due to the days activities.  Everyone seems to enjoy it.  we had chicken, pork ribs, brisket, steak, and lot of other non meat products.  this time around we had the current Bishopric come too.  We are starting a new tradition in having these meals at least 3 times a year.  It is always fun to get together with the guys.  Russ Young reminded me of one of their families favorite moments from the Mindi Meadows Ward.  hyrum has liked to give his testimony during Fast Sundays and one of his earlier testimonies focused on trying to be a good boy.  the exact words he spoke, that the Youngs love, is "Don't hit, don't hit, don't throw.  in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."  We had been trying to help him remember to not hit his sisters and not to throw balls in the house and it came out during his testimony.  there are many experiences like that with hyrum and testimonies.  He used to give testimonies that were hilarious.  it was a challenge to keep a straight face on the stand while he was giving his testimony.  he has been a bit more focused on his testimony delivery.  Tomorrow should be a normal Sunday.  Meeting, a good meal, and a family movie.
