And We're Off!

 My Dad was called to be the new Stake President over the weekend, so I packed the kids in the car and we drove up early Sunday morning to be there by 11 am. We were already in Richfield visiting Katie, so the drive wasn't too bad. The kids also do really well in the car thankfully.

 My brother John, his two sons Jonathan and Seth, Chrisedes, and Katie and Sam were able to make it too. We didn't tell mom and dad we were coming so it could be a total surprise. When we arrived at the church, I had River run up and grab her Grandpa's leg. He was so surprised to see us there! We got there just minutes before the meeting. It totally made my dad's day.

 We found a room where River could run and be wild for a minute. She is wearing baby Megan's clothes. We weren't planning on this at all so we had no Sunday clothes.

 Mesquite was so warm, so we rolled down the windows as we drove. It was the first time in months we had done this, and River's reaction to the wind blowing on her face was the best.

 Each Sunday evening we drive to my Grandpa's home to visit then eat ice cream. I took the kids out of school on Monday so they wouldn't miss this Sunday night. I want my kids to remember and know their Great grandpa. Plus, I'm always down to miss school and let them play with me an extra day.

River adores her Aunt Sara!

Visiting my Sis

We took a trip to visit my sister in Nevada a couple weeks ago, and had such a good time. The weather was perfect, and the company was even better. 

The boys are learning about resources and agriculture, so it was a perfect time to visit the dairy farm where my BIL works. The kids LOVED it.

Stopping to check out some petroglyphs. I forget how big and blue the sky can be.

The boys loved playing outside with their cousin Annie, and wondered if we could trade Mary's house for ours. I would do the trade, but Mary would get totally jipped! Hopefully we'll get into a home soon that had some land. Living on a farm is the way to go.
