Week End with brother Kevin and mom

    Spent the week with Dan and Heidie and then some time with my brother and mom.
My nephew Sawyer got married in the Rexburg, Id temple. It was great fun to see his family again. I haven't seen them in a long time.
   On Tuesday I went with Carma Bedard to Rexburg. I stayed with Dan & Heidie. Heidie made a warm, comforting chicken crock pot with dumplings. I read Dan's book and edited it for grammar. It is good. I didn't like the violence.
   On Wednesday Heidie took me to Jo Ann's (Yes) and Ross. I need more money.
We had chicken bb on buns and veggies. We went for a walk in the park.
   On Thursday went to IHop for breakfast. Dan had CINN-A-STACK® Pancakes A stack of 2 fluffy buttermilk pancakes layered with a luscious cinnamon roll filling, drizzled with rich cream cheese icing and topped with whipped topping. 
Heidie had Stuffed French Toast Combo^* Cinnamon raisin French toast with a sweet cream filling, crowned with   strawberry topping,  and whipped topping. Served with two eggs, hash browns& two pork sausage links. Dan ate a sausage link.
and I had Spinach & Mushroom Omelette Fresh spinach, mushrooms, onions & Swiss cheese rolled in a fluffy omelette. Topped with rich hollandaise and diced tomatoes.
It was most excellent! 
We went shopping to Big Lots & Ross.
Mom and Kevin picked me up for the ride to Rexburg. We missed the turn off and went a half an hour further. We were talking and laughing. Mom kept saying to look at the pretty clouds and Kevin couldn't see them as he was driving. I ate M & m's in the back seat and went into an m& m coma. It was delightful! Mom made us sandwiches too. Got to meet Sawyer' s bride to be, Whitney Seger from Kansas City. We stayed in the Marriott at a nice discount owing to relatives to Tiffany's husbands, sister that works for them. got that?
   On Friday we went to the temple for Whitney's endowments. I got to be in the prayer circle with my brother. We went to the pizza pie buffet afterwards. Mom and I stayed in our room, she was tired from traveling and just back from Virginia. 
Saturday was cloudy and grey and windy. We  had a beautiful session in the temple. The counsel from the sealer was when we pray at night to thank Heavenly Father for our spouse and to list 3-4  things why we married them. He says we should take turns doing that, the husband one night and the wife the next. he also said his wife hasn't caught on to that yet... He advised the young couple to return on their anniversary or close to it and do sealings for other couples to remind them of the covenants they made.
   We took family photos after that until it got too cold. We had an informal dinner with prime rib, taters, spinach salad, rolls, raspberry cheese cake squares, and a  German chocolate oatmeal brownie. It was delicious!
Next week adventure for me!
