Family Time Together--

We had dinner at Tara & Russ' on Sunday after conference session. It was great timing to get together while Matt & Beth with boys visiting from Seattle. Spending time with them is always a special occasion. As I wrote about Matt surprising Beth for the short visit on Thursday, we got to see them a few times during there time here.



I appreciate the Fryer's willingness to have us All over for a family activity. We had an opportunity to talk to Hank, most of us did anyway during our visit. I know he is by himself and the time we got to talk to him was time well spent.



I think I may have a few snapshots to share of the "herd," at dinner. I hope we can do something together when Michael comes in two weeks. What a blessing as a mother to have my children come from afar for no specific event in our family circle. I feel very blessed.

For lunch today, Aaron and Matt called me to join them with Cole at the Thai Village in American Fork. I had never been there, it was my first time. The food is kind of like Chinese food, and spicy as well and I liked it!! There was one kind of dish that tasted a lot like Mole. Aaron even commented about the peanut sauce served with chicken on a skewer stick. Matt and Aaron both had some and liked the taste too.

Later in the evening, I went to my Zumba dance class at the Rec Center in American Fork. It was fun to get my body moving and made sure I stayed for the whole class. It would have been so tempting to stay for half an hour, but I persisted and stayed for the entire time. My ability to follow the teacher and only have attended a few classes is increasing. It is a different story to know the steps and do them, compared to mimicking the steps I have no idea how to do except by watching the others and the instructor. I learn as I go I suppose that can be the best way, by doing. I hope to get better and more consistent with this kind of exercise.

Matt and Cole came by for Family Night with Aaron, Candice and the kids. They were here when I got back from my exercise class. We had a good time visiting and got to say our goodbyes until they come back in a few months for our annual Family Reunion. I just have to work out the times and plan it to decide on the dates. So stay tuned in for more details later.
