Sunday we all went to church together at the Frisco Ward. It was less than a mile away so many walked. Our presence at the Ward took them up to about 200. We're told that the following week nearly 250 were in attendance due to the July 4th weekend.

After dinner was cleaned up we all gathered for Family Home Evening. Staying with tradition we began the event with "Popcorn Poppin" and you can see from the pics below that everyone enjoyed the selection.
After the song and prayer Tom talked about going on a mission and how the support of everyone was so important to us. We were thankful that everyone was able to clear their calendars to come spend the week with us in Frisco. We also thanked Madison for doing so many temple baptisms and then we wrapped it up by giving each of the families a flag from New Zealand.

| We awarded a few prizes for past family "Brackets" - Josh won the March Madness, T.J. won the American Idol bracket but because he had no idea what he was doing we awarded John with the win also. |
After all the little ones were put to bed there was an adult game of "Up the River". And who was the winner again???
Grandma Ann!
We were all ready for some sleep with a busy schedule ahead
