Our Trip To Utah...

Last Wednesday, Jared and I had the opportunity to drive to Utah for Jillyn and Ryan as they were Sealed in the Manti temple. It was a 16 hour drive one way and we drove strait through. Ugh!! The boys did great and I got Jared to read Twilight (this is my second time) on the ride there. I wonder who he'll choose...Edward or Jacob...either way is cause for concern!!!

Anyways, we had a wonderful time at the Temple and wouldn't have missed it. Congrats, again!!! Jared and I are on the end to the right.


I'm not sure what Ken was thinking with these hats. If we weren't already struggling to be "trailor trash" free we certainly are now. They love these hats. Unfortunatly, they said "Daniel who hats??" Exactly what is the school system teaching these boys0??? We are going to have to rectify that and teach them all about Daniel Boon..a great American hero.


As we were turing onto our road...finishing the last leg of our trip from Utah we received a call from our friend and hometeacher. He asked if we were on vacation still or home. I told him, " we are at the top of our street." He replied, "You better hurry becaust there is a tornado heading your way." We jumped out of the car, grabbing a handfull of stuff just as the weather hit. Within minutes we were in the basement and had lost power. After the tornado we headed outside and helped our neighbors find their table. Crazy!!! We are alive, healthy and happy, if a bit wind blown!!!

The good new is our cows are becomming friendlier. We feed them all our scraps like little pigs. Yesterday, we were leaving and we couldn't find Ev. He was out feeding the cows. He loves animals...I'm sure he's going to try to bring home EVERY stray.

We are sure glad that you are safe and sound there in Iowa. The boys look cute in the hats, grandpa is so proud and thrilled they like their hats. It was fun to have you come to Utah, it wasn't long enough. We can't wait to come and see you all in October.
Love you all.
