Snow Day!!

No, not really a snow day but it sure felt like one. On Sunday, April 19, the kids and I were headed to church and we noticed one of the street lights near the church was out. Jon was already at church for meetings. He met us out in the parking lot and told us the power was out and the utility people estimated it would be back on around 11:00 am so church was cancelled. So off we went headed for home Jon was going to stick around for a while. There was a baby blessing that was going to take place. On the way home, I noticed that same light that had been out was now working so I didn't think anything of it just thought that they are starting to get power up and running on part of that street. About 1 1/2 hours later Jon came home. He said that right after I left the parking lot the power turned back on. They ended up just having Sacrament meeting, because all of the people who were early to church left after finding out the power was off so there were missing teachers. I just wish I would have know about the power being out before getting all the kids dressed and in the car and to the church. Oh well. I bet some of the people who were right on time or late had wished they were early so they could get a "snow day" like some of the rest of us. It's not that I don't like church it is just fun once in a while to have a "snow day". So we went home and got changed into our regular after church clothes (PJs or comfy shorts/sweats).

Primary Program

The last Sunday in October was our Primary Program. This year they decided to give everyone a speaking part. We have a huge ward. We fill up the whole chapel and we have to open the overflow curtains and we fill over 1/4 of the gym. So with having a big ward we of course have a big primary. In the past programs most of the kids would have a speaking part and the other kids (usually 2-3 kids per class) would hold up pictures. They also wanted everyone to have there part memorized. Even the older kids who could read. Talmage and Kennedy had long parts (4 sentences) and Payton and Brenton had one sentence. They all did a great job and didn't need any help. Kennedy talked the loudest out of the whole primary but was talking way to close to the microphone so you couldn't really tell what she was saying. I was very impressed at how many kids had their parts memorized. I think only a couple needed help they knew their parts but were scared. I think everyone but maybe 2 read there parts.
Kennedy was also spotted doing the Hula to one of the songs. I love the Primary program.
