Sac Town Fun

By
A few weeks ago one of my best friends from High School was having a bridal shower in Sacramento.  Since Jeff has been so busy lately I thought it would be fun to turn it into a fun family outing rather then just me driving there for a couple of hours and then driving back.  On the way out we stopped in Vacaville at The Nut Tree.  We first had lunch at Fentons which was fabulous as always.  Then we walked across the parking lot to this awesome little family fun place.  We mainly went to ride the train and carousel but there was lots of other fun stuff to do too: life size Chess, Jumbo Rocking horses, Marry-go-round, and some silly photo ops.  We had a great time checking everything out.

I seriously didn't think these existed anymore.

After all the fun we hopped back in the car and finished the drive to Sacramento.  Once we got there we found a few things amusing.  The house we went to had the street number of 5.  This is house it was displayed.

I don't know why, but it really cracked us up.


Then we also passed what our town calls "Traffic calming bumps"  Sacramento calls them "Speed Humps" and "Undulations" which we also thought was amusing.

I headed into the bridal shower while Jeff took the kids to some neighboring parks.  I think I had more fun then Jeff though.  He unfortunately had some literally poopy experiences with the kids while I was laughing and catching up with old friends.  By the time he picked me up both kids were sleeping and we headed back home.  We decided to have one last adventure at the Vacaville Premium Outlets on the way home.  Jeff picked up a new dress shirt and I got a skirt.  Nothing too exciting, just enjoyed walking around and being together as a family.

It was a great family day.  I'm just glad we had the chance to all be together.  It was much more fun then me making that trip by myself.

And here is a picture of me and the beautiful bride about a month after the shower.  I love this girl and I am so excited for her!  Married life is the best!  Congrats Jen!  Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
