Father Day Weekend and the First Annual Stake Conference for Maricopa Arizona Stake

What a fun weekend!! We had Julianne for the week while she went to meetings for Girls Camp. She will be a YCL this year. She was an angel in my home as she helped with the kids and cleaned my house. Then on Friday Mom, Dad, Jacob and Janae arrived from Ajo. They came for Stake Conference and to help Esther and Jesse move in. They are moving into a Foreclosed home they bought right behind us!! We are so excited to have family so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll post some pictures of it soon. Stake Conference was great. Grandpa spoke and did a great job. He even got his Presidency to sing a quartet together in the adult session. It was marvelous! We hope they make it a tradition. Stake Conference was help in two different sessions(both were from 10 to 12 AM) because we don't have a stake center yet. So, that was interesting to see our stake President walk in at 11 oclock from the other session. We can't wait for our new stake center. Anyways, Sunday morning before Conference the girls and I and Mom made pancakes and strawberries and whipping cream for breakfast. For lunch we all gathered for turkey sandwiches and Sunday night we had Nelson and Kelsey and their kids Amrie and Carson, Seth and Colleen and their three girls Nickie, Malaya, and Caylin, and Glen and Dayna and their little son Kade join us for Sunday Roast Beef dinner. Colleen and Dayna are due in about six weeks. Colleen and is having their first boy and Dayna is going to be surprised. But we think it's a boy. The pictures below explain more of the fun we had!!
