Labor day weekend

The family picture ( but missing Tyler) on
Kadence's blessing day 9/5/2010

Labor day weekend was quite the weekend for our family. Dale and Tiffany and I along with my parents and Adele and Lexi had tickets to see the Lion King at the Capitol Theater on Friday the 3rd of September. This was part of our anniversary and I wanted Dale to see a Broadway play.

It was a beautiful evening and we met everyone at the Capitol Theater. When it opened up, we went in and found our seats. I hoped that Dale would like it and he seemed to enjoy the performance. The costumes and scenery were wonderful. It was really colorful and the actors did an outstanding job. I really liked it and the rest of the family seemed to enjoy it too. After the show, Dale and I drove to Clearfield. Kadence was going to be blessed on Sunday so we thought we would spend the weekend with Valerie and Dallas. Thank goodness that the weather was wonderful! Valerie had reserved the little park by their house for the family dinner and it really worked out so nice. We had breakfast food and lots showed up for the special event. Dallas really did a nice job with giving Kadence a name and a blessing. It has been so much fun seeing our children marry good spouses and see them start raising their little families. Kadence has 6 great grandparents that are alive! That is so cool. She also was blessed in Valerie's blessing dress that Grandma Ruth has made Valerie 24 years ago. Grandma Ruth was so happy to see Kadence in that dress and she looked so beautiful in it. I'm glad it was able to be used again and that Grandma Ruth could see her great grand daughter be blessed in it. I just love getting together with the family and spending time with them.
