Lunch with Grandma Cope

Grandma Cope took Kailey & I to lunch for her birthday/baptism.  She had been looking forward to it all week!  She took us to In-n-Out, Taylor & Deanna Daniel and Carlie Lane also came.  Kailey had a burger, fries and a shake, she really enjoyed it.
For her birthday Grandma Cope gave Kailey a book on the Holy Ghost, Kailey really liked it and started reading it right away, at the table, then also in the car on the way home.
It was a fun afternoon!

Birthday Girl

Today is Kailey's 8th Birthday.  She has been SO excited and looking forward to this birthday for so long now.  Every time the conversation gets brought up she beams from ear to ear.  She has been looking forward to getting baptized with so much excitement!!!  She also can't wait to start going to activity days, so many fun new changes for her.  Her baptism will be on Sat. Oct. 23rd.
Kailey did the FHE lesson tonight on the Holy Ghost, she did the whole thing herself and did such a great job!  At the end she did a game that the kids had lots of fun with where one person's eyes were covered, then one person pretended to be the Holy Ghost and another person pretended to be Satan.  They had to try to listen to the right voice to reach their destination.  It was a very effective game that got the point across.
For Kailey's birthday dinner tonight, I made her favorite - crepes with strawberries & whip cream.  I made two batches, the kids will eat these non-stop until I quit making them!
Before the girls went to bed Kenny took Kailey & Ashlynn out for ice cream.

Crepes
6 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp almond extract
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Blend everything in a blender until smooth and cook on griddle at 300.  Cook on both sides like a pancake then put sugared strawberries and whip cream up the middle, roll and eat.  YUMMY!  We eat it for dinner, but it's probably considered more of a dessert...
