My Visit to Utah

A few photos of my trip to Utah.


The big reason I went was to see off my little brother on his mission. Isn't he cute? And he's absolutely amazing too! He has such a powerful testimony and I'm so excited for him to share it with those in the Fresno, California mission! I just can't say enough good things about him. Standing next to him is my beautiful Grandma Taylor. My favorite part of the trip of course, was visiting all the people I adore.


Saturday night we had a cousin sleepover at my Grandma Foote's house. Man did it bring back the memories, just like old-time's. I had such a blast, and learned some hilarious party games. I haven't laughed so much in a while! You guys are hilarious!


I also got to see a couple friends while there. Happy birthday again Kristin! And thanks for opening up your home Kara. I have yet to spray paint anything, but believe me, do I have a list of things that will be painted soon. I can't wait!


Russell made watching the American Idol tryouts even more entertaining! Russell, you're such a riot! I love you!


Okay, I really don't like me in this photo, but I promised Evan I would play in the snow for his sake. The snow wasn't quite right for building Frosty, so I settled for a turtle and spray painted it green so Evan cold see it.

I was really nervous about being away from home for so long, but I have to say, I came back completely refreshed and ready to take on life. Thank you Dave for letting me leave and for taking such amazing care of our kids. I really feel so blessed and unbelievably happy!

Oh, some of my most favorite parts, were just the late night gospel discussions with my mom, and the visits to the temple. I've really been neglecting some of those very important things lately. And I'm reminded how important they are to keeping me sane. Thank you family! I love you all!!

(Photos of Dave and the kids' adventures will be coming shortly!)
