Our Family Get-Away

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we decided to have our, what has now become tradition, little family getaway before our missionary heads out.

After some family pics, along with a "family selfie", we headed up to Park City. Weather was a little cooler than we would have hoped, but we still had a great time... fun location to be at in Park City, good company, yummy food...

 Saturday we rode the Alpine Slide and ate at Baja Cantina

Sunday morning we drove into Salt Lake to attend Music and the Spoken Word on

Temple Square and walked around the Temple Grounds.

Hair is Mission Ready!?!

Since January Skyler decided to see how much his hair would grow before his mission pictures...

 That is some crazy hair! (May 6th, 2015)

Mission ready... and ready for Mission Pics!

To the Temple

On Saturday, February 21st, Skyler had the opportunity to go through the
Mount Timpanogos Temple. 

So thankful for family and loved ones who came and joined us on this special day for Skyler.
How grateful we are for temples and for families to be brought together forever.

Opening His Call

After coming home from being out with Jeff and our friends, Dean and Shannon Harmon, on Friday, January 23rd, our house was filled to the brim with family and friends, all orchestrated by Skyler in surprising me with his mission call arriving...

Skyler trying to help his Mom understand that his mission call arrived, Mom in unbelief!

But very happy and excited!
