saturday was busy, as usual. we did however slow down and take time to make wishes for the nie's, put them in balloons, pile in the car and head to the temple. it was emotional. i could feel the spirit the second i got out of the car. everyone there, good friends and not, had special prayers in their hearts for the nielson's. we had explained to the kids what had happened to their family. they were all very concerned and anxious to write messages of hope and love. quincy's message was especially for jane and claire. we then had home-made pizza in honor of the nielson's. stephanie always talks about thier yummy grilled pizza, so after receiving a yummy dough recipe from cousin carrie...we attempted. it was disastrous, to say the least. the first batch took, what seemed like, forever. it was delicious. we made a second, since 5 pizza's couldn't be enough. we had 6 balls of dough left-over. the pizza on the grill was the best tasting, but it looked like a mess. please nie....get better, so you can share your pizza on the grill tips!
