British pageant and chip mixing kids

 Getting everyone to help at the restaurant is the best. We get cases and cases of chips. The problem is each box is only 1 flavor. So i need expert chip mixers. I have a crew of 4 that come and mix the chips. 

They have it down. 

We were able to go to the british pageant. 

And see our dear neighbors and friends. 

MMmmmm donuts from Quincy for the win 

Date night and fun with friends

 They loaded up the alfredo pizza, to the point that they wanted to remake it for us. Well we were on a time crunch and just took the extra EXTRA sauce one they had made, 

WOW....

Leave it to JOrdan to always keeo the kids entertained. THis was during our cast testimony meeting. 

We were already to do our final Nauvoo PAgeant. But the weather did not cooperate and they had to cancel the show. It was so sad, ever one was in tears. We were able to sepnd time with the cast and sing together. We took so many pictures.
