Independence Day

This morning we went to our ward building for a 4th of July breakfast. Spencer was in charge of cooking so we had to go early. He was the man that cooked the food on a grill. Since he was doing that I helped set up the tables and chairs. The kids tried helping. They are picking up on that now and I am excited. The food was great! Brother Coullier said he was happy not to see any hair in his food referring to Spencer being bald. We had Brother George talk about patriotism and that was a good talk and then we ate. It was simple yet fun and the food was delicious. The table center pieces were adorable. They had bendy straws that were decorated as sparklers. All the kids loved it. After Spencer left to work, Kent and Valerie went over to Carlos and Yvettes pool and invited the kids and I over to eat swim. Kent BBQed steak, burgers and hot dogs. They had all sorts of yummy sides. It was fun. Valerie is always fun to talk with. The kids had fun swimming with their kids. Then a monsoon hit and everything started blowing away. The kids ate and we had to take off back home because it was passed their bed time. It ened with fireworks from Mesquite High and from Mesa Community College. They were good. Thank you to our Vets and our Troops to making this Country what it is today!
