Summer Fun and a Graduation Gift

With Kierra and Easton in town spending time with us for 3 weeks while Riley was at his military training, we kept the fun times rolling as long as we could, even after the wedding was over!
We took a fun little field trip to Thanksgiving Point to the Farm Country, where we let the little ones ride the ponies!
Easton seemed to love it and wasn't even scared!
Brave little Buddy!
Kesslyn loved it too, as she always does. This sweet little girl LOVES animals of every shape and size!
Kambriella even got to go for a ride! :)

We had a fun time seeing all of the animals and especially feeding the goats.
It was hilarious to watch Easton feed the goats!
This big fella right here actually ate the entire bag of feed right out of Easton's little hands...plastic bag and all! It was SO funny to watch! Hopefully that goat didn't get sick from that!
We also finally found an extra minute to present Dallin with his Graduation present!
It's the same gift that all of the kids have gotten...
Luggage and a special box prepared by Mom. :)
A CTR ring with Portuguese, since Dallin has been called on his mission to Brazil.
An apron, dishtowel and hot pad for moving out on his own (beach themed of course ;)
beachy ties for his mission, games, and missionary Legos
..a side by side Portuguese to English Book of Mormon for his mission...
..and a homemade HAND written recipe book full of all of our family's favorite recipes so that he can make some yummy things out there on his own! (Beach themed of course;) The "sand" wich and sand colored paper...and also measuring spoons tucked inside in the shape of sand dollars, sea shells, and sea horses. 
I know one day these gifts will come in really handy, and I hope it means something to them that it was hand written in their mother's handwriting.  
Conrats again Dallin!
Now on to more summer fun!

Seminary Graduation


Sunday, June 6th was Dallin's Seminary Graduation!
We are so proud of Dallin for completing one of the most important things in his whole high school career...the class that teaches his mind, heart, AND soul!
Now he can continue his spiritual learning and continue to see growth in his personal life every day...especially as he prepares to head out on a mission!!! :)

Strong work boys! We are SO proud of you!!!

Carew and Kara's Wedding Day

Saturday June 5th, 2021
BEST DAY EVER for Carew and Kara!!!
They did it! 
They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Payson Utah temple!
My heart is so full, and I LOVE my new daughter. I love to see my wonderful family growing and becoming bigger and better than I ever dreamed it could be.
After days of practice, I was so happy to be able to do her beautiful hair for her on her wedding day.
It was a sweet time for me getting to sit and talk and spend time getting to know Kara.
These pictures turned out beautiful, and there were too many to include them all here, so I chose a few of my favorites that focus on our family and the highlights of the day.
It really was a perfectly beautiful day in every way, and I am so happy to see my son and his wife living life together and being so happy. 
It's all you ever want for your children, is to see them find their true love, be sealed for time and all eternity in the house of the Lord, and begin their own storybook of "happily forever after!"
So here's to Carew and Kara...
Welcome to this crazy awesome family Kara!

I'll let the pictures do the talking. ;)
