John and Joy were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple. Then Zach was sealed to them. Mercedes and Gideon were able to join us in the sealing room to witness Zach's ordinance. Afterwards all the family celebrated together outside the Temple.
Joy, John, Mercedes, Chanel, Gideon, Maverick and ZackThen all the family got together to celebrate mom's 80th birthday. All of her kids and grandkids were there and most of the spouses and great grandkids. It was so wonderful so see everyone all together again. Each of the six of us did a presentation honoring mom. In our presentation, we all told something about what mom was doing when she was our age. Then we had the whole group go outside with 80 balloons and let them all go as a symbol of the far reaching impact of her life on our life and so many others as well. It was a beautiful sight!

Sounds wonderful!
I am so glad to see the picture with you, your mom and sisters.
Happy Birthday to your mom.
I be that was a wonderful sight to see. How lucky your mom is to have such thoughtful sons and daughters.
What a wonderful temple trip and the balloon idea was so neat!!
It was great having you guys there at the temple. No major arguments at Mom's party so it was a total success and Mom has never looked happier to see all her family together.
