Prioritized Daily Task 

2:00 PM - family pool party at Matthew and Melodie's 

Debbie and I slept in this morning, had prayer, and went to Costco and filled the rental car with gas.  I picked up two large bags of ice.  Matthew packed the drinks with ice but had to get 3 more bags so there would be enough.  Autumn and some of her friends and other mothers brought 13 of the smaller girls for a flower girl party in the backyard.  Nicole was one of Autumn's friends from Tennessee; she and her husband, a medical doctor,v had me over to their home in Boise, Idaho when I was helping Matthew with Exit Realty while he was in law school in San Diego.  I talked to Michael and he, Beth, Rae Lynn, Brett, and the boys are coming down before or around 2 pm.  Melodie took orders for lunch; Michael, Gavin, and his friend came down and went with Matthew to pick up the food.  The children played basketball, volleyball, and ping pong, and played in the pool while dinner was being cooked on the grill and food prepared in the kitchen.  The party ended at about 8 pm.  Autumn had the group to think Matthew and Melodie for hosting the event today.  Sydney turned 19 today and her mother, Allie Chapman, had a birthday cake and a 19 candle on it.  We sang Happy Birthday and her uncle Cameron McEwen planned to push the cake in her face.  Instead, her family pushed the cake in Cameron's face and he fell down backward.  From there it was a free-for-all all-cake fight.  Autumn had everyone get their wet towels etc. together and pick-up and clean so things were not left in a mess.  We have Alex's friends staying in the. motor home and in the house.  Elain arrived about 9 pm and we visited before going upstairs.  Debbie and I had prayer before going to bed.
