My brother Nathan and Jason decided to surprise my mom with a visit, and Nathan was going to take out his endowments while there,... well, the American Fork Temple called and my mom answered, and my mom figured out what was going on, so she contacted us girls to surprise Nathan and Jason... everyone was going to be there! We haven't all been together in 4 years... (just prior to Jason's mission). You should have seen their faces as we started appearing.
It is so much fun spending time with my family, and I love that we were all able to be together! I also loved being able to go through the temple on my youngest brothers first time. I've been to every one of my siblings first times... its been wonderful experiences every time!
My kids loved having their aunts and uncles and grandparents just adoring over them, and enjoyed every minute of their attention.
We had my mom's famous homemade stew, played Valerie's new Wii game - Just Dance, went to Trafalga (where Hailey won the 1000 tickets from a game) (got a total of 3766 tickets), played laser tag and bumper boats, went to Porter Rockwells Steakhouse (yum!), and LOVED spending time together as a family!
We had lots of fun staying up all night EVERY NIGHT playing cards, watching movies, and reminiscing about our childhood. What great memories we have had growing up, and made while in Utah during this trip! I'm so glad we all got together!!! It was sad to have such a short trip, but well worth the 10.5 hour drive!
