Carson City Trip

Our Carson City Lone Mountain Ward family is the BEST! We were able to visit Carson City over Memorial Weekend. It was so great to see all of those wonderful people that took Jim, myself and our girls in and helped us through one of our hardest times of our life. We made some friendships that will last for eternity.
***********
The Roylance family was so kind to let us stay with them. Lexie's BFF Leah Roylance is a twin to Anna. After not seeing her BFF for awhile, Lexie was nervous about knowing which twin was Leah. She kept asking me questions about Leah and Anna so when she saw them she would know. It was really cute. When we arrived at the Roylances it didn't take long for Lexie and Leah to pick right up where they left off.

 On Sunday evening's the Roylances do family night. They have family over, do dinner, then family night. We were able to catch up with the Brewers and meet a new adopted family member that came for dinner. The missionaries came to dinner too. The Elder standing by Jim is from Nibley. It was fun talking with him and finding out all the people he knew from Hyrum. (And just a side note...Alison has the cutest home. I Love how she has decorated it.)
 Here's the Clan of girls!!


For dinner one evening another friend in the ward hosted a BBQ. A lot of members/friends from the ward came. I was amazed at how grown up all the kids were. When we were in Carson I was in Nursery for almost 18 months. My nursery kids have changed and grown and didn't even remember me. Thanks to the Wolz's for doing the BBQ and allowing us all to run through your home! 



Brindley had a great time with her friends too. She even got invited back for a teen game night. She has some pretty fun friends in Carson!
Jacob and Brindley are playing just dance. 

 Icecream time!

 This is NATE! What a kid! He always has us laughing. I don't think I have ever seen him without a smile!


 Pres. Wolz was our Bishop when we first moved to Carson. He was later put in the Stake Presidency.
This girl makes me smile! Sarah is another good friend to both Brindley and Karissa!

A few things we did while in Carson.....
Drove past our house like 6 times
Went to a baptism of another family of friends
Went to DQ with the ladies AND with the men
Ate lunch with the ladies at Firkin and Fox
Went to Costco with the ladies
Hung at the Thortons
Had some good visits....just never enough time to see and visit everyone.
One other side note..I was so excited to have Alison cut my hair. She does awesome! I miss being able to have my cuts done by her.
Our trip was short, but great! Lone Mountain ward members will always have a special place in my heart.

Tough As Nails!

Lexie wrecked her bike yesterday!  I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but notice the smile.  She was a real trooper!  I didn't hear her cry (she said she did on her way home)!  She even put her bike away around back before she came in the house.  Her biggest concern?  Will I remember this in the morning?  I am sure you will have something to remind you!

Spring Break Part 2

Part 2 of Spring Break was spent in Capitol Reef National Park. I still wonder why I didn't spend more time in Capital Reef when I was living in Koosharem. It's takes just over an hour to get there. Such a beautiful place.


 Our Drama Girl!

 There were 2 people hiking in the bottom of the goosenecks. It seemed so far down.
 Surfin' on the rocks...

 I have one tough girl!
 Ok, two tough girls...
 Maybe 3 tough girls... 
And one superMAN!

 Lunch Time 






All of the girls were worried that there was going to be a flash flood while we were hiking in this gorge. They kept asking if we could go back. I think I felt a few drops of rain...definitley enough for a flash flood! ;)
 Petroglyphs. So cool to think about how these got there and what they might mean.

We sure do have fun in our little family. There is a lot of laughing and joking. I Love spending time with Jim and my girls!
