Brittany's Baptism!!!

On Saturday, September 27th, 2008. Brittany was baptized by her dad, Matthew. She was so beautiful dressed in white. I sure love Brittany and what a sweet girl she is becoming. I am so glad I am in her family!!!! Thanks for inviting our family to your special day!

Our weekend in Cedar City!!

Well it was parents weekend at SUU so our family went down to see Spencer and enjoy the weekend with him. He seemed to be all settled in his apartment and enjoying college life. We had a great weekend there going to a Smash mouth concert (I had never heard of them, but apparently they sing some of the songs in Shrek) and boy was it LOUD. On Saturday we went to a brunch with Spencer at the college and then he showed us all around campus. And then we took him shopping for FOOD. We came home and I went a little overboard helping him clean his room and apartment. We had fun looking around Cedar city and getting better acquainted with it.
On Saturday late afternoon evening we went to their football game and it was so much fun. On Sunday we went to the local ward there and we even ran into a family there who was also visiting from our stake. It was so much fun. Thanks Spencer for letting us come and see you during parents weekend. We love you!!!

Johnny leaves for the MTC!!!

Today was the big day for Johnny to enter the MTC. We were all so excited for him! I was a little nervous for him, but he seemed to be so together.

Suzanne and Matthew were very gracious to put together a wonderful breakfast for four families. And it was delicious. Even Robert (Annette's brother came). I am excited for Johnny to make wonderful memories on his mission. He is going to be an excellent Ambassador of the Lord. I have so loved watching you grow! And you are going to be one of the most handsome missionaries in Washington D.C mission ever.

That night we had our Enrichment and it went very well so I was very relieved. Everyone brought there assignments and we had a wonderful tasters table of things the sisters had from their food storage, garden etc. Those that spoke were so informative and we all learned much from everyone and got some great recipes in the process. It all was so delicious. I made Suzanne's recipe for Zucchini tomato soup. It is a delicious recipe. Sisters who claim they don't like zucchini or tomatoes raved about the soup and my family enjoyed it too. We had a good turn out and now the next quarterly Enrichment activity will be our Christmas dinner. But we have plenty of our Enrichment groups in the meantime to keep me busy.

Labor Day weekend

Labor Day weekend was great. Spencer came home from SUU for the weekend and it was so nice to see him. Also, we were able to see his girlfriend Lindsay who came from the U of U. We had fun celebrating her birthday. We went to Rocky Mountain pizza and then we had cake and ice cream. We sure love Lindsay!!! Then they stayed for church on Sunday. I spoke that Sunday in sacrament meeting so it was great to have them there for that.
