What a Weekend!

We were honored this weekend to be able to be in attendance at the baptism of our niece Josie and the blessing of our dear friends' baby, Calvin. It was a fast weekend with a lot of driving but totally worth it! Saturday morning we drove to Eagle Mountain for Josie's baptism. She was beautiful and they had a nice program. She sang and her mom played the piano and her dad sat on the front row just beaming! It was great to see the whole family (Jane loves being around her cousins!).After the baptism, we jumped in the car and headed to Twin Falls, Idaho. Trent had worked the night shift the night before so he went to sleep. Jane and Grant finally tuckered out and so I had most of the drive to myself. There wasn't a lot to see but it was nice to just be on the open raod with my music and thoughts.
When we got there, we checked into our hotel and Trent gave the kids a ride on the luggage trolley. They loved it! We got a room with two queen beds so we let Jane have one. She thought she had died and gone to heaven! Her and Trent jumped on the beds and had a good old time!We got to go visit with Jake and Jenni Saturday evening. Jenni's family was in from Wyoming and it was a blast getting to know them. Little Calvin has grown since we saw him last but he's still a little guy.We got back to the hotel just in time for a quick swim before bedtime so Trent and Jane ran down to the pool while I got Bubba ready for bed. They came back 10 mins later. Surprised to see them so soon I asked what happened. Jane announced: "I pooped in the pool." Apparently she also told a woman in the elevator on their way up to the room. my guess is that lady avoided the pool for the rest of her stay! (for the record: Jane did have a diaper cover on just no swim diaper so the poop didn't actually get in the pool but it was a close call. . . TMI?)
The next morning we went to church for the blessing. Little Cal looked sharp in his white tux with tails and, from what we could hear, Jake gave him a nice blessing (the microphone wasn't working so well). We got to spend a bit more time with the Kinghorns (and their extended family) before we had to leave to come home. It was a quick trip but we feel blessed to have been there for the blessing and that we got to see our dear friends.
