Wonderful weekend!

Saturday morning, Doug & I traveled to Henderson, NV where we enjoyed a special weekend with our grandson, Riley. We first watched Riley play his basketball game and he's quite the player! His team is called the Lakers, which pro team is his passion and he knows "everything" about them.

We had some time after the ball game and so Shad, Boyce, Doug and I went to see Hoover Dam. I'd never been there before and it was very inspiring to see it and to know the history behind it. At the present time, they are building a bridge across the dam for security measures to keep our country safe. In the photo you can see the two sides as they proceed. The arch is beginning to form.




Riley's birthday party was next on the schedule and we ate pizza and birthday cake till we were stuffed!


Sunday was Riley's 12th birthday and he was spotlighted in sacrament meeting, received his Faith in God award in Primary and then received the Aaronic Priesthood and was ordained to the office of deacon by his Grandpa Campbell.

I love that you got to spend time with your family. I love that you got to see Hoover Dam, an amazing feat. I love that you got to have pizza. I love that you had a grandson ordained to the Priesthood. But most of all I love that your grandson plays for the LAKERS and not the celtics. Could I get an amen.

No amen here, Randy. You know we love the Celtics!
