This weekend I had a visit from the Horn sisters!!! We had been planning this trip for several months and I was really excited for them to come. We had a great visit. It is not very often that all four of us are together and so we made the most of it! They wanted to see the temple so we went over there on Saturday morning and went through the visitor's center. We watched the Joseph Smith movie. Nancy and LaVern had never seen it. Annette and I had both seen it 3 or 4 times, but it is still very emotional every time I watch it. We also walked around the grounds and saw lots of people waiting for brides and grooms to come out of the temple.
Across the street from the temple at Pioneer Park is a statue of some of the settlers/founders of the Mesa area. One of them, Charles Crismon, is a great grandfather of the Horn's! It was really neat to see him in the statue (he is on the far right) and know that he was instrumental in how this area came about.
But what we spent most of our time doing was preparing for Father's Day in my ward. The Primary was in charge of the Father's Day treats and we had decided to make tie shirts for cards (see below) and make brownies to go with them. Well, at the last minute a couple of the people who were helping me ended up with family emergencies and so LaVern, Nancy, and Annette came to the rescue!! There were some sisters in the ward who baked brownies for me and then LaVern baked the rest (She is an INCREDIBLE brownie baker!) and Annette and Nancy figured out how to make the cards. I was given 70 of them already made and so we had to make about 50 more. They just whipped up the pattern in a matter of seconds, I was amazed! And then we put put everything together. It pretty much took all weekend! It was a lot of work, but it was fun working together. It made it so much more fun doing that with them. Thanks to all three of you for all your help!!!
We did manage to squeeze in time for a couple of movies while they were here too. They were cute girlie ones! Scott was sooooooooooooooo glad they were here so that he didn't have to watch them with me! Thanks, you guys, for coming to see me! I love you!!
