Whirlwind

On Monday we did an Iron Rod activity for Family Home Evening. Mama and Underfoot moved dirt. On Tuesday our neighbors came and helped move more dirt. Why are we moving dirt? We are getting a race track for the boys to go in circles around in our backyard! On Wednesday the concrete guy showed up to start the process of pouring concrete in our back yard. In addition to the sidewalk, a patio and new walk way will increase our outdoor living space. We are excited to see Underfoot ride his bike in the back yard.

Thursday was a whirlwind of a day. We took a jet plane to Salt Lake City (SLC) to celebrate L4’s parents’ wedding anniversary. So in our preparations to leave town, we ran to the dump, clean the kitchen floor, did laundry, packed, and cleaned out the frig all before 10 am. Once at the airport, we ran to the gate believing we’d missed our boarding call to learn it had been delayed. We flew with NO problems. Upon arrival in Denver, the flight was delayed for an hour and half because the plane smelled so bad the airline changed planes. It had something to do with turbulence and vomit. We arrived safely in SLC and drove to my parents’ home.

Friday morning was spent looking at the changes in all the work project with K. and J. (my parents). Like this dance hall.... Like this future Mater truck....
In the afternoon, L4 fixed computers for my family while the boys and I got to drive around and spend the day with my Dad. It was a great treat! Unfortunately in the time we had we didn’t get to do all the things we wanted to do. Like spend more time with these folks...

Saturday was a full day of activities. We drove to SLC from Idaho arriving just in time for the luncheon at the Lion House. The L. family arrived, ate, talked, reminisced about the lives of their parents. One of the highlights was listening to the laughter and love shared between everyone.

The Original FamilyAfter a great slide show and Newly Wed Game, we went to the LDS Church History Museum.

Underfoot had a great time with his cousins while we were gone. He loves to play with the marble game. We came and spent the evening with my Grandpa H.

On Sunday, we attended church with my Grandpa H. It was a real treat to be with him. He is so positive and happy. After his church meeting, we went to the blessing of Lance’s sister’s baby, Angelina. Our family went to Temple Square to take a picture with the Salt Lake Temple. We had a yummy dinner at L4’s brother and sister-in-law’s home. We returned to Grandpa H’s home for the evening.

Auntie & Nephew are good friends.

It has been a full week with family. K2 is getting some teeth and has been uncomfortable. Besides teething, the boys have been great!
