Baptism, Bucket List, and a Bonus!

Let me start by saying that I left my temple bag with my recommend, clothes and family cards at home!  Not a great way to start a temple touring trip!  Thanks to modern technology it worked out!  We did baptisms in the Reno temple (My last Nevada temple), saw Lake Tahoe, did an endowment session in the Oakland temple (My first California temple), we visited my nephews lovely family in Roseville (unplanned so a bonus), visited their beautiful cabin at Lake Shasta, did inititories at the Medford temple (My last Oregon temple), visited the Olympic National Park ( a bucket item since I read Aaron Elkins books) and got to our son's house a day early because the Sacramento temple was closed. We got to give the talks at our grandson' s baptism and have had a wonderful trip!  We are pleased with how our new car traveled and our great gas mileage! Life is good!

Lots of fun with Grandkids

It's been a fun week!  We got time with Joni's kids and with Josh's kids!  We also looked at houses in Brigham City, Perry and Willard. 

I played more Barbies than I ever have, saw Frozen 2 and watched brave Elliott climb and zip line and flip on tramps!  

Visitors, books and looking at houses

We saw delighted to have our old office mates and Iowa explorers come visit!

We've had lots of time with these 2 crazies.

We dusted off our library cards and starting reading for fun!  I even read my first ebook!

Yesterday was nice enough to play outside.

We've been looking at houses and deciding about staying or moving and if so where we would want to live.  It's hard to beat our neighbors and proximity to temples!

We got to spend time with Jonathan!  It's been a good week!

Back to the Temple! Car shopping and more upgrades!

We got to take my parents to the Draper temple Tuesday morning, my neighbors and Relief Society presidency visited and we saw the new Star Wars movie that afternoon, then while I went to a temple recommend interview Richard got a table and chairs.  We test drove lots of cars, used and new, and Thursday we bought one!  Its strange to be a two car famoly again! We got our new glasses and a new toilet this week, too!  Hopefully we'll never spend that much in one day again!
While Richard installed the toilet, I went to the Jordan River temple and it felt like home!  It's so busy!  No wonder they keep building more temples! 
We are so blessed to  have them all around us!  We visited my parents again!  We met Jon and Nathan for lunch and put together a few puzzles hi dress of times with Kinsley and Tayson!   Its a sweet life!

St George and Grandkid time! More organizing

After church Sunday we visited Jon and Nathan and saw their awesome home!   Then we drove to St George and spent a day with Richard's mom and brother.  On the way back we visited my sweet sister Connie!
We went to the eye doctor Tuesday morning and got new glasses ordered! We went to the theatre and saw Jumanji.  Then took grandkids to see Spies in Disguise Saturday!  I guess we're really not missionaries anymore!
We've been able to spend time with Montana, Tayson and Kinsley and the last couple of days we watched Elliott and Olive while Josh and Meg went to St George.  Fun times!

I read a book!  Biography of my Aunt JaNel and started reading my friends biography of her son; His Beautiful Faces.  We took 2 more loads to DIs.
