St George Summer Trip

St George is fast becoming one of the funnest annual summer trip I have.

This year we stayed at Hyrum and Gail Smith's Eagle Mountain Ranch in Gunlock, UT. Hyrum and Gail Smith were my mission president and mother. They have been such a blessing in my life. It was great to see them again and to be with them at their beautiful home.

We went to two plays at the Tuacan.

Tarzan

Crazy for you.

We enjoyed eating at Nielson's Frozen Yogurt.

My toenail polish matched the seats at Nielson's perfectly.

At the Smith's there was this little kitten that Ian really liked. It was kind of a crasy cat and liked Ian's bangs.

Just the next day we learned the kitten was killed by some dogs. :(

It was a great trip. I loved being with Richie, Jen, Heidi and Ian.

The Lion King

What play did we go see?

Lion King!!!!

I have to say that I think this is one of my favorite Broadway play, next to Les Miserables.

Thanks Sue for such a great Christmas gift! We will remember it always.

Time is flying by

It is another School Season.

I do not know what to do about the fact that time is flying by and my children are growing up.
Heidi begins 11th grade and Ian the 9th. WOW! In my mind, they are still young children. This photo shows otherwise.

(I have always taking photos of the first day of school. Once again, they are not showing enthusiasm for this new year ritual.) Oh well, deal with it, I am going to keep doing it!

Ian's year old shoes with some new ones we found in the mall. WOW!

Jena's wedding

JENA SAINSBURY BURR

Jen's friend, roomie at BYU, and family friend from our ward gets married.
Jen was one of her bridesmaid.
Just a few pics from the reception.
