Two weekends ago, we had the opportunity to attend the groundbreaking of the Phoenix Temple which is going to be built about 1 mile from our home. It will be great to be so close to a temple. We were really privileged because Mom and Dad Dibb came down to attend with us..actually we got to attend because they came, otherwise we would have watched it in another meetinghouse as a broadcast. We also were able to go up and turn the dirt with the golden shovels. Roger put Amelia on a shovel and it was great. One day when she gets married in the Phoenix Temple, we can proudly display her turning the dirt!

| Alan was in charge of Boy Scout day camp on his birthday. This is a picture of the boys and leaders after the water fight and snow cones. |

| Alan's cousin Sterling and his family came over for a barbecue Saturday in honor of Alan's birthday. Sterling had all the kids mesmerized here. |

| She loved the candle. |
 |
| And she liked the sprinkles on top which she gingerly picked off before throwing the cupcake off the tray onto the floor. She would never think of throwing peas on the floor. |

And now for a few of my favorite pictures of her in the last week:
