Sunday with the Yuba City Barlows - Go Dodgers!

This morning I awoke to little boys calling "Aunt Alisa" as they came in to the kitchen. I managed to stay in bed for a little longer, but finally I got up to their calls. We played "I Spy" and "20 Questions". These two games seem to be their favorite games. Today is Fast Sunday here, so I stayed out of the kitchen so as not to be tempted.

We pulled the mattress in front of the TV and the boys and I watched a DVD. Well, I should say they watched and I dozed off. Chelsea and Todd's ward meets at 1:00 pm. After everyone was ready we took some pictures of the kids and I attempted a picture of their family. Unfortunately, their is a circle glare on all of the pictures I took on the nice camera. I think the sun was reflecting on that spot because none of the pictures I took inside had the glare. Darn. There were some really cute pictures in that group! I did have my small camera and so I was able to get a couple of nice ones.

I went to Primary with Chelsea for the 2nd hour of church so I could see her in action (she is the PR chorister). They are learning "We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet". The younger group was doing really well. During the 3rd hour I attended Relief Society. It was interesting to be a participant and see how other wards do things.

After Church we had dinner together. Todd did some BBQ chicken and steak and Chelsea made some sour cream potatoes and veggies. I was the french bread specialist. It was very good after a day of fasting.

Tonight we watched the Dodgers play the Phillies. We are so happy to see them doing well! Go Dodgers! We really enjoyed that win! Now, they need to keep the winning streak going! While we watched the game I showed TJ & Jared how to make homemade Oreo cookies. TJ and Jared each cracked an egg in to the bowl and they helped put them together too. They decided they were just about as good as 'real' ones. Chelsea decided that some mint frosting would make for some good ones!
