Traveling to the Reunion and projects and fun at the Parsons

I am obviously not good at selfies, but I wanted a picture of us at the Monticello temple.  We left home at 5:00 am and got to Monticello about 45 minutes earlier than we needed to for the 10:00 session.  It was a nice break in the drive.

We stayed at my sister Kathy's house in White Rock, New Mexico for a few days.  Richard and my niece Ann did this renovation project.

We put the bounce house up in the Parson's back yard for their cute grandkids to play on.

This is Kathy's newest grandkid, Chevelle.  She has the most amazing thighs!

Ann and Kent fixed us some amazing meals!

Me and my fun sister.

Birthday dinner and a hospital visit

We had Richard's birthday dinner today.  Elliott helped blow out the candles.

My sweet sister-in-law fell and broke her back yesterday.  She is hurting!

Since Joni and Mikey can't make it to the reunion we got some shots of them in their reunion tees.

Elliott had to put on a shirt and get in the picture.

She and Tayson really love each other!  It is so sweet!

Birthday week, temple trip, Easter Bash, Denver lunch and Houston visit.

The Gomi had another fabulous family Easter Bash!

Tuesday, after my temple assignment I made it to the Brigham City temple with my awesome friends.  We take a trip to the temple every month in honor of my friend Kolette.

I got back in time to see this cute girls before she left on her mission.  Kathleen's family moved to Oregon last year, so it was a treat to get to go to her open house.

Tuesday morning Mother Nature had a surprise for us.  Luckily Jon slept over to take me to the airport.  It took an hour or so, but we made it through the blizzard.  So even though my plane was an hour later than planned the awesome Chapmans came and met me for lunch! 

Jason and family picked me up in Houston.  I love their new house.  One of the best things is this wonderful play room!

Logan turned 3 on Thursday!

He was so in love with this blue dragon from Toys R Us.

Jenny brought the kids over to party.

Cute Jane loving her necklace!

Dress ups.

One cute 3 year old!

Friday we headed to Jenny's house to party.  She has the coolest swing set ever! Their house is really nice, too.  I did not get good pictures of either of the new houses!

 

It was Alice's 1st birthday so we headed to Chuck E Cheeses to play.

Alice loved the ride ons.

Jane was not too scared of Chucky

After Chucky's we went to Chuy's for dinner.  It was delish!  James even made it before we left.

Saturday morning was Jenny's community yard sale.  Jen and Nicole were very excited to go.  I lasted about an hour with them and then wanted to get back to the kids.  James was doing a great job of entertaining and feeding them.  He and Jason (back from an appt) got them all on James' back for a load of fun.

I flew home late Saturday night.  Sunday was Joni's birthday! Its always fun to have Josh and Joni's family's for dinner!

Jason's birthday was Monday and Jack's is today.  No pictures since I didn't get to fix them dinner. 
Stay tuned for an exciting baby announcement!

Temple Square

One must see the kids jumping on the tramp before we left to understand why Elliott has black knees in the pictures.

Jonathan had to lay on the ground to get this shot.

The kids loved the Christus.

This was my attempt at getting the Kendalls in front of the temple with the sun shining in my eyes.

Better in the shade.

Cousin sleep overs and trips to SLC and ice cream made for fun and very tired kids.
