Tenth Anniversary and Lunar Eclipse

Last night was our tenth anniversary. Ten wonderful years of marriage.

To celebrate we all went to the Old Spaghetti Factory, including the kids. We had fun and Tiffany and I will celebrate properly once Grandma and Grandpa can come babysit.

After dinner, we went to Jeff's house to look at the lunar eclipse through Dad's telescope. We all had fun looking at the moon as it slowly darkened and turned red.

Once the moon was eclipsed, we were able to get a good look at Saturn through the telescope. Unfortunately this picture doesn't do it justice. We were able to clearly see the rings around the planet. The photo is a little blurred because we didn't have a camera mount.

Visit from President and Sister Frogley

President and Sister Frogley were up in Oregon to visit their son and his family. They attended church in my brother's ward. He called to let me know and I was able to call President Frogley and invite him over.

We had already invited our friends, the Beutlers, for dinner. Russ served in the same mission I did, under President Frogley. Russ and his family just returned from three years in Switzerland with Intel. Our children all had fun playing together.

After dinner the Frogleys came over. We spent about an hour chatting and catching up with them. It was a wonderful evening.
