Organ Stop Pizza

Perhaps in an effort to get our children interested in music (since we finally have a piano), Justin planned a trip to Organ Stop Pizza last weekend. A last minute phone call from some friends in the ward and it was a double family date! We explained to Brighton and Adaira what they could expect and how we wanted them to behave. They were both concerned they were going to be "so bored" sitting there listening to music, so they each brought books to keep them busy. NO BOOKS NECESSARY! They were enthralled the entire time and loved the music and all the different instruments that would light up, along with the occasional puppets, sing a longs, and bubbles that would randomly come down from the ceiling during some of the songs.
 Not a good picture of Brighton, but shows the organ...
 We were worried that Dale would be running around all over the place, but he was SO well behaved for the first hour we were there! I think the loudness of it all made him nervous and he just wanted to stay close to Daddy.
 It's cool when instruments around the hall would blare every once in a while; we were sitting right in front of these horns...
 Adaira just loves being with LeighAnn, the 8 year old daughter of our friends, the Pearce's.

 Dale enjoyed himself several slices of pizza and some of his Dad's root beer. So relaxing to not have to chase him around all night!

It was a way fun outing. It was a great idea (Justin's) to get out with the kids and try something new.

WE live right by there Audra. We haven't gone there in a long time, but it is a really fun place--I agree.

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

  Memorial Day A couple months ago I told Justin that we should take our kids and both sets of grandparents to the Mesa City Cemetery and tell our kids stories about our family members buried there. I thought it would make a good Sunday or Family Home Evening activity.  I want my children to identify with their ancestors and feel like they can learn from them. I especially want them to feel like they can develop some of the same good qualities or avoid some of the poor ones. They had also never been to a cemetery so it would be a new experience for them. Justin and I never got around to organizing it until today. Justin's mom was planning a lunch BBQ and swimming for Memorial Day and told me she was thinking of inviting my parents and asked about time preferences since she was thinking of doing it around dinner time. The idea of the cemetery popped into my head and I mentioned that I thought it would be neat to do the BBQ earlier in the day and then take everyone out to the...
