Birthday Weekend

Sunday, July 11, 2010

A couple of weeks ago was my mom's birthday.  We first meet my parents in Memphis to do temple work.  If you want to know more about what Mormon's do in the temple read this article: http://www.lds.org/temples/purpose/why/0,11581,1953-1,00.html.  After that, we spent Friday night and Saturday at my brothers-who unlike my parents have ac.  I felt bad for staying at my brother's because they just lost my sister-in-law's father to heart disease.  They were still dealing with the loss, a very tender moment was when my nieces and nephews wrote messages to grandpa on balloons and sent them to heaven.  We had a good cookout during a thunderstorm for my mom.  On Sunday we went to the church that I grew up in.  Which always reminds me that the makeup of a church congregation are always changing and moving on with life. After church we went to my Aunt's (okay let me explain she is only 30 so it feels weird calling her my aunt) daughters 2 years old birthday party.  It was an adorable blue's clues themed party at a park.  The only problem was the heat and very lively 11 little kids running circles around us.  I also got to see my aunt's newest little girl she just had a few weeks ago, so sweet.  It was nice spending a weekend with my parents even if everyone was crazy busy.
