Blessing week-end

I missed the last two days of school.

We left for Utah on Wednesday afternoon.

We went to Bridger Hodges wedding reception in Provo.

Matt was there, he did their wedding photo's.

This is a picture of Matt with the Bride and Groom!

Yup, that is really them.

What a fun reception.

We stayed in SLC next to the airport so we could get

Matt to the airport early on Thursday morning.

 On Thursday, we attended the Draper temple.

 Later that same day, we attended the St. George Temple.

These temples are just beautiful!  I loved spending the day

in the temple.

These roses were growing on the temple grounds at the St. George temple.  

We stayed in St. George Thursday night.

We picked Sam up at the airport on Friday at 12:30 in Las Vegas.

We then went and picked up Kayla and Elle.  We took a trip

to the Hoover Dam.  Matt was at work and was really disappointed

that we went without him.

Elle slept most of the day.  

I was so excited to see her.  She is so sweet.

Such a special little spirit in a special little body.

We just love her!  

Saturday morning, Kayla and Elle went to Kayla's Nephew's high school

graduation and so Wynn, Sam, Matt and I visited the Bellagio Resort on 

the strip.  I loved the Under the Sea exhibit all done in flowers.

 Sand castle of the belagio. 

Just beautiful!

We then travel to the Red Rock area of Vegas.

It was just beautiful. 

We even got in a little hike!  

So fun spending time with my "boys."

Sunday morning was little Elle's blessing day!

 Matt gave Elle a beautiful blessing.

It was so wonderful to be there and witness

our little Matty use the priesthood to give his

daughter a blessing.  There is just something

wonderful about seeing your son exercise his

preisthood power.

Warms my heart.

 Kayla's family.

 John and Michelle King came from Tehachapi, CA.

Matt taught them while he was serving his mission.

Michelle is now baptized and John holds the priesthood.

They have even been sealed in the temple.

So glad for good friends and missions.

They are best of friends.  

 WE had a picnic in the park and then

we went over to Jerry and Shauna's and

watched a movie.

We had a wonderful visit.

I hated to leave and go home.
