You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Grrrrreat to be 8!!!

Gwendalin turned 8 years old on October 24!  We did a small family party with cake and presents for her on her birthday and then on Friday she had a "late night" party with friends in pajamas, doing make up, nails, and watching a movie.  It was a smashing success if I do say so myself.  She and her friends had a blast.  Jocilyn and Mckenna got to stay over night and go with us to soccer the next morning.  Good times were had by all.  She got lots of fun presents from her friends, she got a CTR ring from GM and GP Slade, her scriptures, and lots of other fun "turning 8" presents!  Her baptism is on November 3rd and GM GP Chesley are coming and so is Marie!! WAHOO!!
