Grandma and Grandpa Mecham come to visit

We spent Saturday at Silver Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Mecham. Justin was paddled around the lake by Zac and Christian. As was Grandma by Nathan and Grandpa. We also had a row boat that everyone took a turn at. We enjoyed a nice picnic while up there and were thankful that this was one of our days without rain. Grandma and Grandpa were here to enjoy church with us on Sunday also. Some of the other highlights of their visit were, Grandpa holding Zac up side down by his ankles, I don't think next time Grandpa will be able to do this as Zac is getting to big. Grandpa and Zac were best buddies with lots of tickling, and teasing done from both. We visited Fairway Cafe for dinner and pie (yummm) Along with the two pies we got for Grandpa's visit. Grandma has been working on a family history and genealogy book for Justin for a long time and had it finished and delivered it to him. I know that Justin will enjoy it and greatly appreciates all the hard work that she put into it.

Nathan has had a tuff week. It started with the windshield wiper motor going out in his car. Every car he has had as of late has had this problem. Thursday night a belt came off of it, at one point everyone was there to help him fix it. I left with the other boys, as it was getting late and Grandma and Grandpa went back to the hotel, Justin and Nate finally made it home with the car. Nathan was covered with grease and grime from head to toe when they got home. The belt managed to come off again on the way to work on Friday, that evening he took the alternator out and found out Saturday that it was toast, so he had to fix that...We are so glad he went to the Lake with us and enjoyed pie and ice cream for a break from the car dilemmas

Today at church I had to lead the music in sacrament meeting unexpectedly, as we are in a small branch we all have to pinch hit at times. I looked down to see Dad nodding off and it looked like Zac sitting next to him was doing the same. I went to give them a bad time afterwards to find out that Zac was reading and had the job of poking Grandpa if he started snoring or drooling :) Zac did a good job of keeping Grandpa in line. One week Justin had to help pass the sacrament and I was leading the music, Zac was sitting on the bench keeping it warm for Christian, and Justin. We are so proud of Christan and the way he preforms is duties as a deacon. Whether it is passing the sacrament or cleaning the building, he is always there to do what is asked. I got to go to relief society which was nice for a change as I am usually in primary. We had an excellent lesson about prayer and faith, it reminded me of a saying that you are suppose to pray like everything depends on the Lord and then work like it depends on you, while listening to the Lord.. I need to remember to do this now and always. I was very busy at work and will be going in early tomorrow to finish up what I couldn't get done.

We had some crazy weather lots of rain, and the snow level dropped to 6,000 ft. only 4" but you could see it from our house, the mountain looked very white. I am sure we will be seeing more of these days in the future.
