Paul & I were visiting with the Lake Mills ward this morning, he had to give a talk. It's nice to visit other wards, especially when we get to bump into youth that we use to see at stake events. We bumped into Ashley Nathan and David Luifau, who at one point I thought his name was Karl but that must be a brother! They are engaged to get married, which is awesome itself but what impressed me most was when they told me that Dan, David's younger brother did a little bit on the church. The video is posted online at the church website and I was able to go and download it. If the video doesn't work, here's the link from the website. It impressed me so much that I wanted to add it here. Enjoy!

Fall Season of TV update
Alright, I realize that i have not been keeping up with all my TV stuff. So, here's where I am at. So I have been keeping up with Dancing with the stars (truthfully, Paul likes to watch, I usually do too but this season is such a bust). Anyway after last night's dances Here is where my standing is.
Toni Braxton to get the boot. I'm sorry I just so bored with her routine. Unfortunately my pick would have been Cloris the old lady but she actually impressed me a bit. Toni made me fall asleep.
My pick to go all the way is none other than Derek Huff & Brooke the model. She has impressed me with her picking up the steps. She makes it look so easy! She's my pick to win all the way! We'll see how that works out.
NBC's The Biggest Loser: Families
I wish that these broadcasting networks would get it through their hard heads that helping people is not about ratings but really helping people. I hate having to sit week to week watching someone get booted off just because someone hates them. Well anyway, I do learn alot from watching this show it can be entertaining. My pick to win the whole thing is Vicky from the Brown team. She seems more determined and had her one on one sit down with her hubby about realizing that she will be fine if left alone to work out! So here it is Vicky from Brown team to win it all.
NBC Heroes -
Totally loving the story line that it's taking but they are adding so much more character's this season that it is starting to become hard to follow the story lines but I like where it's going, I just hope it doesn't get out of hand.

Solomon Update
This picture was taken a couple of days ago, before his surgery. Solomon all of sudden malled paul and jumped on the chair with him, he looks so happy! Solomon is doing great and recoverying fine. 6 stiches and sent home with pain killers and antibiotics, he has to wear an e-collar still and seems to be in a grim mood .. no vigorous activities for 14 days (this will drive Paul nuts!) that means no walking, running, horse playing .. which is fine by me! I hate exercise. heh heh Anyway, thanks to all that sent me an email of your concern about him.

Beehive / Deacon Etiquette Night
Paul & Rebecca
*Note: Please stop my playlist music before playing.
I had the pleasure of accompanying Paul to Beehive/Deacon Etiquette Night. It's a tradition we have in our stake to have a special night for our 13 year old before they turn 14 and attend stake act ivies, or dances. We teach them and discuss manners, conduct, cleanliness, and yes - dance. I knew there would be a reason I should take my camera! I shot some video of the dance part and pictures. They are pretty funny. Paul had the pleasure of dancing with a couple of the Beehives from our ward. Also, because we only had 5 YM show up and 14 YW, the ratio was really off - so we asked the men and some of the women leaders to help with the partner dancing. Of course I helped but because my camera was only used for the most part when I was taking the pictures, you don't get to see me except with Paul at the end of the night! :-) heh heh, enjoy!
