A Weekend With Family

We headed to Utah Wednesday afternoon. We were so excited because Jandi and her boys were going to be there. We have not seen them in over 2 years. I don't think I realized how much I have really missed them. I love being able to be myself with Jandi and laugh until our stomachs hurt. I have missed that. I love her boys and getting them to smile, they all have the cutest smiles.

Thursday we just "hung out". They kids played all day both in the house and out in the snow. On Friday Gregor, Fletcher, and I stayed home and slept because Gregor had the flu. The rest of them went to the rocket display @ ATK and then to The Golden Spike. Later we all went to a circus and had so much fun. I think everyone agreed that our favorite was the elephants and then the motorbikes were pretty amazing. On Saturday we went and had lunch at Maddox with Ben's siblings, spent the afternoon with my family, and then went on a much needed date. Sunday was Daniel's farewell. He did a great job. I don't think I have ever seen so many people to a farewell dinner. I think they had well over a hundred people. Daniel is an amazing person and he has such a testimony. I think one of my favorite things about Daniel is that he loves you no matter what. It doesn't matter the mistakes you make or have made he loves you unconditionally. He has been such an example to my kids, especially Jarrett. Jarrett now writes in his journal, and reads his scriptures every night thanks to Daniel. To say we are going to miss him is an understatement.

We had so much fun while we were there, it was really hard to come home this time. I can't wait until August when we get to be with the Stowells again:)
