The celebration



We were all excited for Saturday. The reason why everyone came together for this weekend was coming to pass. The day started out by receiving a phone call from my good friend Amelia saying that our old roommate came down from Lyman, Wyoming to visit. Ashlee was my roommate my first year in college in 2002. It's been at least 4 years since I've seen or heard from her. She just came back from her mission about 1 month ago. She came down with another good friend Laurel. Laurel was never my roommate but we did quite a bit together.



Right after the girls left, Mike, Wyatt, and I went to a movie at Edwards. (Edwards increased their prices...that will be the last time we go to the movies for some time). It was Wyatt's birthday treat. We saw the city of Ember. I thought it was good, not quite a waste of money, but it could have been better.

We had a wonderful birthday party for Wyatt and our niece Maya. Maya turned 4 and it was such a joy to watch her. During this time, we relaxed or did some last minute things before going over to Jodi and Troy's new home.

At Jodi and Troy's we ate dinner, took pictures, and watched some cute skits about Grandpa and Grandma. This get together was to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. For their gift, all of their kids and grandkids made some scrapbooks pages and then they were all compiled together. This was a great hit. Grandma and Grandpa kept saying how wonderful it was and they became a little teary eyed.

We were wondering if you could email us some of the family pictures that were taken the night of the dinner at Jodi's house. We did not have our camera with us and we wish we would have. Thanks. gkrockwood@msn.com
