Our Trip to St. George

Our friends, Paul & Tina, invited us to go up to St. George with them for the weekend! We weren't able to go last year b/c Rissa was a newborn, but this year we worked it into our plans to go!! Paul and Marty have worked together in the Elder's Quorum Presidency, at church, for several years now and so we have had the opportunity to get to know and love their family. We were excited to get out of town for a few days!! Thanks to the Christensen's for keeping the boys and to the Galloway's for keeping Rissa!!!

At some point, while I was packing the boys suitcase, Jacob neatly tucked his treasure box, Sneech & Pokemon Book into there. He always does this when packing for a trip, putting his most important items at the time, in it! I always love seeing where his priorities lye! This time his treasure box contained a couple of his stuffed animals, a ball of clay (very important to him!!), a night light and a key (to be sure we could unlock the door when returning home)!


We Arrive in St. George
Here's Jenny taking on the guys in a game of basketball! Watch out guys...she's good!
...Go Marty! Go!!...You can't let a girl beat you!!
While Jenny took on the guys, Tina & I hit the Tennis court! I have never really played tennis and I fell in love with it!! I totally want to go take some tennis lessons now! ...this is us after playing for three hours!! We were having such a great time playing that we continued playing long after the basketball stopped bouncing!! Don't be alarmed that I'm all swollen and purple/red!! I always look scary like that when I work out or exercise...always have..always will!



Shakespearean Festival




St. George Temple


Marty & I really enjoyed going through the St. George Temple! We had some really neat experiences; first being that we were asked to be the witness couple. The other neat thing about the session was that we were all going through for some of Jenny's family members! I love the Temple and am so thankful for the blessings that come from it.



Ok, so now it's Time to Play, "Where's Waldo...I mean, Where is KENT?"
Kent is the "Chinese Dude" on the left :) ...Can you find him in these pictures?
...hhhmmmm, where could KENT be?...
...nope, still don't see him!...
--hey, whatever! we know you're back there...
...so Statuesque...
It was fun getting to know Shelley & Kent better! Thanks for being such a good sport, Kent!!


Thanks Paul & Tina...and Paul's Parents...for letting us all stay at your vacation home!! We had a great time and were thankful for the much needed vacation!!
