Birthday Thai dinner

We went out to dinner for Nana's birthday at one of our favorite local Thai restaurants. The Smiths were there too. So fun to catch dinner and later a movie ( one of the worst movies I have ever seen....luckily it was Nana's choice!) At the table that we sat at there was underneath the glass pictures of Thailand and a map of a small region of Thailand. It was the same region that Holman is living in. It was pretty awesome. I love Thai food! 

 

Disaster within inches....

We had a crazy day of summer rains, aka Tucson monsoons. It was coming down fast and furious. We had just had our pool drained and cleaned the week earlier. I went outside to see if the flooding was under control. Thanks to Mark Weigel a friend in our ward who had brought his bulldozer the year before and who spent hours helping clear our streams beds of debris and sand. The pool was within inches of being flooded. Benjamin ran out in the rain and helped secure some breaches that had occurred.
