We had Sunday dinner at our house before the viewing. We made a veritable feast. All of the kids helped out in one way or another and we had a ton of food and it was delicious (if I do say so myself). The pot roast wasn’t as good as Mom’s but it was one of the better ones we have made. I had a blast. Based on the picture you would think that the kool-aid was the center of attention… and hey why not? Lexi makes a mean kool-aid.
Life is certainly good.

Lexi’s Birthday Bash
For Lexi’s Birthday we went to “The Incredible Pizza Factory” and pigged out at the buffet, played games, painted faces, and had fun for all. It was actually a pretty decent place. Everyone had a pretty good time. I enjoyed hanging out with the family and watching them be goofy (of which there was plenty).
The funniest thing was after our B-Day party, Kris had to drive up Millcreek Canyon to Jon and Mare’s cabin for a “Girls-only” sleepover with Kristine and Mare. Kris said that she had a good time, but due to any number of odd circumstances she didn’t get to sleep until after 1:00 AM so she i pretty wiped out tonight.

Flapping Bats
Went with the kids to Lowe’s to do their craft of the month. They were able to both make a flapping bat. You would have thought it was christmas with all the excitement from Parker. Abbi had a surprisingly good time as well. Kiki and Lexi didn’t come with us since they had dance to go to.

Another Day of Sadness
This year has not been a great year for my family. Tonight around 7:00 PM my grandfather Macbeth passed away peacefully in his sleep. Uncle Dennis called and asked me to inform the rest of the family. My uncles and their wives are over taking care of the immediate needs. I feel so sorry for my Grandmother. She has lost a daughter and a husband within the last three months. It has got to be extremely difficult for her.
We will certainly miss Grandpa Macbeth. He was such a model of humility and kindness. He was very soft spoken, but a man of action. His service and generosity knew no bounds. I only remember one time when he was angry and raised his voice. He was a hard blue collar worker that provided for his family and community. His service and compassion wont soon be forgotten by anyone that knew him. His funeral will be filled with people whose life he has touched and left better.
Grandpa, I love you and will miss you.
