Another Saturday Night @ Blackjack Oaks

 Del was gone on Trek from early Wednesday morning to getting home on Saturday at about 3:00 in the afternoon.  It was soooo good to have him home and he looked really good yet very tired.  He shared some of the highlights of his trip and then mentioned that he had a special project he wanted to do for all the youth and leaders that were in his group but he would need all of our help and it had to be done by Sunday evening.  So off to work we started. 
Del wanted to make wood blocks that would have a pioneer saying on them, and then a picture of the pioneers walking with covered wagons, all modge podged to the wood.  Del got to cutting the wood, Jordan started the sanding, and then Lexi and I started the putting on of the pieces of paper on each side of the block.  It took almost three hours to do but we finally got about 70 of them finished and ready for the next day.  About that time, Sean and Becky and then Mike and the kids arrived for a nice dinner I made.  Kylie came a little later after she finished with a photo shoot.  Baked chicken, rice, fruit, homemade salsa, vegie, rolls and baked potatoes made for a yummy dinner.  Kylie arrived shortly after and we all moved to outside by the huge fire Kathryn and Sean had built for our Samores.   We had a great time taking pictures, laughing, music and stories.
I am going to try and be doing this once a month.  I've said that before but just not taken the time to plan them and get them done.  We always have so much fun, I've just been neglectful.
Our next one is planned for Sunday April 7th, which will be General Conference weekend.
