This last week my parents and Abuelita (little grandma in Spanish) came to visit us from Arizona. We had a wonderful time together. Cassidy enjoyed waking up each morning and asking "Where Granpa Go?" And of course would ask next about Grandma and "Lita." It was fun for her to be able to have some extra attention and not only from her parents.
We were able to play games, watch movies, talk, eat out, watch Cassidy swim, attend The Dave Ramsey Show at the World Arena, enjoy General Conference, and just relax. One day Cassidy had all of us girls dress up with her hats and purses like we were going to go shopping. It was cute.
Cassidy received the Alvin & the Chipmunks DVD from Grandpa & Grandma and surprised us all at how interested and excited she was to watch this movie. None of us had seen it, and it seemed to have become Cassidy's favorite movie. She doesn't sit and watch movies, she will for a little while but then she will go play with her toys and come back later. Not with this movie! She was hooked from the beginning. Her new word now is Chipmunks. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
The Dave Ramsey Show
I know we have mentioned Dave Ramsey before on our blog, but this time we had the chance to see him LIVE and to listen to his good advice on financial matters. He is such a motivational, entertaining, and humorous speaker. The "Total Money Makeover" class lasted for 5 hours with two 20 minute breaks. Let me tell ya though, it didn't seem like that long. It was so fun. Before we knew it, we only had one more hour to be taught. He teaches people to get out of debt and to be wise with our money. Of course, the Church has always taught us these things, but Dave gives us motivation and some tools on how to succeed. He lives his life with similar standards as the Church. It was a great opportunity to attend, and we enjoyed sharing the experience with my parents. We wish all of you could have been there with us. :)
