Peyton had been bugging me about doing
a 1/2 birthday party for him since his B-day is
in December and he "never" gets fun
summer parties, so I gave in and he invited
some friends to do a SLIP N SLIDE party!!
Easton was hilarious, he walked around
wearing Peyton's glasses and hat, can you tell
they are brothers.
The boys had a blast, running up the hill to do
crazy tricks and fun jumps down the hill.
BUT......
an hour into the party a very 'UNchristlike" man
came and asked us how long we had been doing the
slip n slide, we told him and then he asked us
what ward we belonged to,
we were honest and said we didn't belong to the stake
but, that we have done this plenty of times to know the rules.
Well he immediately changed his attitude and told
us to pack up and leave that he was
in the Bishopbric....well it wasn't that easy.
I had 20 boys and Skee and I were the only
adults there at the time. We just let the kids continue
slip sliding when he came back and turned the water
off...RUDE...he told us to leave, got back in his car and
drove off. So we did we packed up, but with 20 children and
2 cars we decided do the cake, and find some geo-caches
since we had an hour and a half till parents were coming back.
Apparently our presents wasn't wanted because he came
back AGAIN and asked why we hadn't left...DUH...we couldn't.
Then he proceeded to tell us that we were not welcome.
There was a VERY heated discussion between Skee, Dave
and this Brother. I started freaking out and I asked him to leave,
but again he yelled at us and said we were welcome to sit on the
grass of the church and wait, but couldn't sit at the pavilion.
Seriously this grumpy old man had gone too far!!!
During the discussion we found out that he had LIED
to us. He said he was in the Bishopbric of the ward and
had precedence to tell us to leave, but come to find out HE WAS NOT!!
Long story short he RUINED my sons birthday party
and didn't even care!!! So I want to personally thank
Brother Barlow for helping me remember that
the Church is true and sometimes the people are not!!
This is what the boys thought!!!
Happy Half Birthday Peyton!

UGH!!! Seriously don't people have lives...what in the world gave him the right to some and do that! I TRULY hope you guys go and have a little discussion with this guys bishop so he is aware that this dude is pretending to be something he is not...both a member of the bishopric and also a disciple of Christ. Hmmm..pretty sure each sunday we say we will take Christs name upon us. AAAAHHHH....okay sorry i am going on a soapbox and now my blood is boiling. Oh man! I am glad you have the right attitude! And I just thought how we didn't do this while we were there...so maybe next summer. And we will make sure to send an invite to this Brother Barlow!
