I'm Back!














Well I'm feeling overwhelmed that I haven't posted for so long and so much has happened. We got back from Utah lllaaaatttteeee on Saturday night. We had a wonderful trip filled with family, friends, and food. The drive was utterly miserable considering holiday traffic, and a SCREAMING one year old, but still worth being with some of you for a few days.

Here is a picture of the whole gang minus Ben who is on his mission. We had just arrived a few hours before. And this wonderful family was all waiting for us at Amy and Rob's house. So fun to see you all!

On the way to Utah we stopped at Whiskey Pete's. The kids were blown away with all the things to look at in the casino.
then we hit the rode again for the home stretch. Thank goodness for the dvd. When the constant arguing occurred. we would just pop in a movie. But that didn't help poor Luke, who wouldn't be entertained by anything.

We took a day to drive down to Manti, Dane's old stomping ground. We took a trip down memory lane, by rolling down the big hill at the Temple, and visiting Uncle Jacob's and Grandpa Lee's graves. It was a beautiful day. I have seen the Manti Temple many times, but every-time I see it, is like the first time. It is so amazing. It is where it all began for Dane and I. I was really feeling sentimental that day. I love the picture of the temple with the cemetary. It seems symbolic that death need not be the end for mankind. Well I'll post more later when I'm not feeling tired and worried about my busy day for tomarrow.

It was really fun to see you guys at Thanksgiving. It was great to actually see your kids in person instead of just on the blog! We hope you guys can move to Utah!
