Singles Ward

= THIS...

So while we were in Utah I was contemplating going to my dad's ward on Sunday. My dad is the Branch President of a singles ward and as you can imagine, kids don't really "fit in" at the silent singles ward! After thinking about it I decided we could survive a sacrament meeting and keep our kids quite enough to not be a huge distraction... well, I forgot to factor a few things into this equation! Jack started acting up right after the sacrament was passed so I asked Jon to take him out in the halls for awhile. I wasn't anticipating that Jon would run into Tom Horman (an old friend) and loose track of Jack ("for only a few seconds"... is what Jon told me!).

I was sitting with Brayden, Anabelle, my mom and Milli listening to a girl bare her testimony when all of the sudden the fire alarm starts blazing and the strobe lights start flashing. At that moment I leaned towards my mom and with my own intuition said "mom, I think it was Jack". I got up and headed out to see what exactly had happened, and as predicted, JACK PULLED THE FIRE ALARM! He was outside bawling his eyes out with Jon while every bishop in the building was trying to see if they had the magic key on their key chains that stopped the unbelievably loud fire alarm. I went outside to speak calmy and rationally with my husband (yeah right) and the first thing Jack said was "mommy, it was daddy, daddy pushed the button"! I about died with laughter, I couldn't hold it in, and this made Jack cry even harder.

One of the men that was trying to turn off the alarm went into my dad's interrupted sacrament meeting and whispered to my dad that it was a false alarm and that it was his grandson... hey dad, have I ever told you that I was raising YOU THROUGH MY SON?!?! Jack is you, you are Jack and I'm dead meat!

We love you Jack, you little stinker!
