We had a very busy fathers day. First we went to church at 11 a.m. Shelley teaches the valient 12 in primary which is a lot of fun. All but two of the kids are 12 so she teaches everyone for 20 minutes before the 12 year olds leave for young mens and young womens then she is left with only 2 kids the rest of the time. So all they usually do is play games. Tim is the Elder's quorom secretary and takes roll and keeps track of the home teaching. Everybody but Tim in the presidency will be moving away this summer so we are hoping that if tim gets released he will get called to help Shelley teach in the primary.
When we got home we started to prepare for Shelley's family to come to celebrate. We told them they could park in the front driveway when they go
t here, but when we looked at the driveway, it was covered by a branch that had fallen from the neighbor's tree. So Tim got out the bow saw and was getting ready to hack away when the other neighbors saw and offered a chainsaw. It was gladly received because it was a very thick tree branch. After that was all hacked up, Tim drug the branch into the neighbor's yard and left it for them to deal with it.

After that, Shelley's family came and the festivities were under way. Tim bought h
imself a grill a couple weeks back and loves cooking on it. This was the first time for him to really show it off. Tim cooked tri-tip and teriyaki chicken for everybody. Tim was very nervous because he had never cooked for his in-laws before and did not know if they would like it. Luckily, they did and it turned out to be a delicious meal. Shelley's family went on a cruise last week so they brought us each a shirt and shelley a bracelet. It was very nice of them since we were unable to go with them.After dinner, we all sat down to enjoy the Laker game. Clint (Shelley's sister's husband) and Tim are the only Lakers fans while everyone else likes the Jazz. Needless to say, 
Tim makes the rules in the house and threatened anybody that spoke ill of the Lakers a quick trip outside and they were no longer welcome to watch. Shelley then remembered she had a Celtic's jersey she had from a high school dance so she took Michael (Shelley's brother) downstairs to put it on. Everyone had a good laugh till Tim banished him outside. Not really, but Tim did tell him to take it off and burn it. Shelley's father also opened presents. He got sun glasses, and a few shirts too. It was a lot of fun and everybody had a good time.

this was a very good post but all i can focus on is that killer GRILL! when jake sees it he will be wanting to do some grillin' haha
Anytime! Bring your meat and it is on!
Tim, that was very neighborly of you...to let them deal with their branch I mean. And I was wondering, if it weren't for Shelley's parents coming, how long do you think it would have taken for you guys to notice that branch there? :)
Looks like you guys are having tons of fun. I hope we left that part of the house clean enough (we cleaned before leaving but you never know). Shelley, you look super cute as always, I love your skirt. Tim, your grill looks manly, glad you got to use it. We miss you guys and we'll come home soon!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!
Hey we have matching grills!!! Nice!
It is an awesome grill huh Becky!? And for only $200! It is one of the best investments I have made.
thanks marlyse! and yes you left the whole upstairs very clean. i just hope we can get it as clean as you left it. and yeah we probably wouldn't have noticed the branch otherwise. we think it happened the night before but really it could have been there for a couple weeks. who will ever know
