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.  



Activity Day

One June 2nd, we took the activity day girls to the Art Museum.
We got a tour and then the girls got an art lesson.
They even got to practice what they learned.
They had so much fun.

Our Last FHE and sillyness

Tonight was our last FHE with the YSA Rexburg 39th ward.
Boy, are we going to miss this activity.  We have loved
having these students come each week into our home.
We have had so much fun!  
I hate it to end.





Memorial Day week-end

 Friday before Memorial Day Wynn and Steven went to Rigby to help
Le clean up his lawn.  Look at this mess!  It took all day Friday and then they
meet again on Monday and worked most of the day.

On Sunday of this weekend, I got to go to Rigby and go to church with my Mom.
It has been forever since I have got to do this.  Mike, Charissa, Angie and her
kids were here visiting.  All my siblings were together this day for Sunday
dinner.  It was so much fun, it has been a long time since we were all
together.  We had a great day!


 On Monday, Brooke and I visited the cemetaries.  Steven & Wynn
were at Le's helping him again this day.
Always nice to remonise and talk about our loved
ones who have passed on. 
I still miss my Dad everyday.





 We then took the kids to Rigby Lake and had a picnic.
They have the best play ground ever!
We loved it!
