"Go My Son" from SEASONS - BYU Living Legends

Living Legends

On Friday we went with our friends the Olaso's to BYU Living Legends. The dances are performed by descendants of the native American, Polynesian and Latin American peoples. The dances and costumes were exceptional and the story line was so touching. We got to sit in the 2nd row in the orchestra pit and it was perfect for viewing the dances in an intimate way. So glad we got to go. The Hawaiian hula was so wonderful. Their hands were so gentle and lovely it is hard to explain. I loved it. Also the Mexican dancers with their ribbon skirts were so beautiful!

Genealogy

What happens when you start to look on family search? You get started and can't stop. There are so many things to update and so many names to look at. This week I changed about a thousand places on my computer so that the family search could recognize them. Was it fun? No but it is time consuming and then next time I search it will be faster. Spend 6 hours of tedious mind numbing work so that you can search faster next time. I have thousands left to do. My friend at the temple said that we are the clean up generation. That's what I am doing. Fixing the places, recording the work that has already been done and merging the same people into one entry. All for that time of finding one that has been overlooked to get their temple work done!

Great weekend

I had a great weekend. Landon and Jaden Jarvis and Destenee, Thomas and Isabel Fuhriman came over friday night. They spent the night. The next morning was pancakes because that's what I always do when they come to spend the night. Destenee and I made mickey mouse, ogre and bunny pancakes. One of them looked like a dinosaur but was suppose to be a star!

After breakfast we went to Monkey business. We got there at 9 am and stayed until 11am. They went down the big slide, climbed and went through the obstacle course getting tired and sweaty. Landon and Destenee were helping the kids keep organized on the slide. The kids were easy to boss but the parents weren't so cooperative. Destenee said that adults don't like to be told what to do.

We then went for a hamburger and more climbing. Landon was so helpful and went for napkins for all of us. After an ice-cream it was back home to pick up the pass for Discovery Center. We needed to rest for a while so the kids played video games while Mike and I rested.

At the discovery center Landon loved the robots that you build yourself. Jaden and Thomas were the best buds trying everything. Isabel stuck close by Mike and I and Destenee roamed. They even brought out the stuff to make goo. Thomas and Jaden were the first in line. The kids were so cooperative and nice.

I made pizza scones for dinner. Then, we watched a movie and the great weekend was over.
