Some Family Fun

So it started out friendly enough....
But we finally decided that a referee would be necessary for the close call.
Was it close??? Nope...just seconds later, Del was declared champion - again.
Crazy cousins....
Why is this always funny??

Good Sabbath Day. We had Kylie and Mike, Sean and Becky and the missionaries to dinner tonight - spaghetti, salad, green beans, garlic bread and peaches, with chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert...yummy.
The whole wrestling match occurred because Sean and Becky have been on the P90X work out regime and it really is making an obvious change in them both, but mostly in Sean. He actually LOOKS beefier (is that a word?) and so we encouraged him to arm wrestle 'uncle Del'. Well, Uncle Del has not been beaten in years; nor did he plan on it today either. The results were as expected but a rematch has been set for in 60 days when Sean completes his P90X program. I'm pretty sure the results will be the same but maybe not quite as easy for Uncle Del as it was today. You just don't negate 30 years of being an Idaho Farmer with age and being away from hard physical labor. Those 30 years should sustain him through the rest of his life. I imagine Jordan will be wanting a re-match also the next time he see's Del, so Sean is just giving Del some much needed practice.
Yesterday was the wedding of one of my Seminary students and dear friend of Jordan - Ricky Adams...he married a lovely young lady named Alisha in the Dallas Temple and then the reception was last night. Ricky's family is half Hispanic, so it was quite the PARTY/celebration and seemed just a little over the top for us. Not Ricky's doing, of course, but his mothers. After a wonderful dinner, we did leave early as the party got to be a little too much for us...loud music - open bar for non members and inappropriate dancing. Del had a headache pretty quickly and so we left by 9:30. The party apparently went for another 2 hours, so I was glad we made our escape earlier. But it was wonderful to see Ricky and his wife so happy. I wish them much joy and happiness.
We have a flat tire to deal with tomorrow. Our Honda came home from church with the back left tire flat and so now we have to look at getting it fixed. Another expense...Tomorrow is my last day of vacation and then back to work on Tuesday. UGH!!! But it has been so nice to have the much needed time off. I can't believe how quickly it flew by though.
But back to the grind I go...
