Our Trip To Utah during Sariah's 13th Birthday

While we were in Utah, Sariah turned 13th (on the 15th). Before we left I bought her a cake and the kids had a little party for her on Sunday. Then her and I went out the next weekend and watched a movie and went to dinner. I really enjoyed the time alone with her. I can't believe she is an official teenager!



Tom and I took a trip to Utah by ourselves. Tom's sister Cassie was sealed to her hubby in the Bountiful Temple and Tom and I flew out to witness it. It was a wonderful experience that we were honored to be a part of. Unfortunetly, I did not get any pics of the family, but we did get some pictures of our day spent on Temple Square in Salt Lake. I had a glimps of what it might feel like for people to come to Nauvoo and bask in the beauty of it all. I loved being on Temple Square and doing a session in the Salt Lake Temple. It goes to show that no matter what Temple you are in, the Spirit is so strong. I LOVED seeing family, being on Temple Square, AND being alone w/my hubby!

As for the dog pictures. . .We took our friend's dog to Utah w/us. Having a dog ON the plane w/us was quiet an experience! Harry was not very happy with being crammed in a small bag and shoved under the seat in front of us. It seemed inhumane! Tom couldn't handle it so he did a no,no, and unzipped the bag so Harry could at least let his head out. He did manage to fall asleep for a few minutes like that. He was so cute, and Tom was so sweet with him. He was SO happy to be out when we finally got to Utah!

Our sweet friends Tacy and Jessie took care of the bulk of our children. My kids fell in LOVE w/them both. I am so grateful for such awesome people that I can trust w/my kids. I am even more grateful that my children didn't scare these women away from wanting children :o)!
