At our grand kids house in Utah

We took off on Wednesday morning to head out for our grandson Jeffrey's missonary farewell.  He's a good kid and is going to be an awesome missionary.  Our daughter Traci was at a Pharmacy conference in California when we first got here but we wanted to be able to see our grand daughter Tori in a play she was in, so we came a few days early.  I was really bummed thinking that we'd missed her play because they'd performed it on Friday the same weekend as we were in Kamiah for the Bluegrass festival.  Then our son-in-law Neil called us to say that she was going to be doing it again for a school assembly at her school.  Yay, we got to see it after all.
It's tricky trying to see all our grand kids in their activities but so far John and I have done fairly well with this.  When we left our place Wednesday we wanted to go see our other grand kids living in Pocatello too, and we were able to stop and spend the night with them before heading down here.  We were hoping that they'd be able to come to Jeff's farewell tomorrow but due to work schedules and church times of our kids here being on the 9 AM church time, they aren't going to make it.  It was nice that at least we got to spend one evening with them though and those grand kids are going to be spending most of the summer with us too so all's well.
My parents drove up to my sister Dayna's house to spend a few days and watch grand daughter Mijandra in her play but today they are headed down here to join us in this celebration too.  My dad is 85 and my mom 80 and thankfully are doing exceptionally well in life.  I'm so glad that they are getting to come too.  
Last night Traci got home from her conference and this morning Neil fixed us all a nice breakfast, so I'm anticipating that any minute we're going to be getting on the housework and cooking in preparation for the party here tomorrow.  Jeff will be speaking in church and he just told us that the subject of his talk/sermon is going to be baptism.
Our other son Casey and daughter-in-law Ashleigh are planning on being here by 1 today to help us cook and get ready for tomorrow too.
John and I love all of our kids' spouses.  We've been very blessed to have kids who are doing well in life and have made good choices to be honest and good people.

This is our grandson Jeffrey. 

We're just headed out the door to go buy groceries and I think I'll go along.  I guess the grand kids will be cleaning house while we're gone.  I'm just reminded how hard it is to get teenagers to want to clean, hummmm... It's going to be a great Memorial Day Weekend.
