Things just aren't slowing down for us, we've been roll'en!!
I spent the 12th-14th of August watching Bret's kids. I left on Sunday and got home Thursday. On Friday morning we left early and headed to St. George, UT. on our way to Provo for BYU Education Week. We always like to stop in Beaver, UT and the creamery there and buy some curd. They used to have this little store and now they built this big, really nice place to stop. The curd is good, but its not Tillamook!
Tami and Ryne have moved to St. George so he can attend the medical school there.
Thursday was Blake's #9 birthday!!
They had already celebrated it, we just got to enjoy some of the delicious cupcakes that were leftover!!
St. George is just beautiful!! I love the red rocks, the mountains, and all the fun things to do there. This little splash pad is in a park just a short walk from Tami's house--and no one was even there!
This tree house at the park said, "Jacob Hamblin's home". He's pretty famous where we live in Eagar, everyone is related to him!
He helped settle St. George.
Tami took us to this little lake were the kids like to swim and play.
Adlee's hair looks like a 'punk rocker!'
(the wind was blowing!)
We even got a temple session in. This temple is closing in Sept. for renovations for over 2 years! Its hard to know why, its so beautiful!
Monday morning we headed to Provo. That evening Shane's band was playing in a park in Mapleton and Sonja & Randy had invited us to go. We met them for dinner then went to hear them play!
They are really good, we loved it!
We had a great time at Education Week. We stayed with Aunt Nan, she is always so good to us! We met up with Gary (LaVerl's first cousin) and Innette Crosby and had lunch with them.
At one of our classes we learned all about this stained glass window that was made for the Rome Italy Temple visitor center. The artist was there and his wife taught the class, it was so interesting, all the details involved!
We also went to two of the evening performances. We went to the GENTRI concert, three guys that sing, so talented! Then we saw the play Beauty and the Beast and took Aunt Nan with us.
We headed back to St. George on Friday after our classes and got to Tami's about 8pm.
Saturday on the way home, we had to stop at Cameron (it's an Indian outpost place) to eat, the food was delicious!

LaVerl had a french dip sandwich on fry bread with green chilies!
We also stopped in Flagstaff to see Kari and kiddos again!
(and pick up something we forgot!)
FUN TRIP, but we were glad to get home after over a week being gone! Got home about 6:30pm. I did a few loads of laundry and repacked my suitcase and after church on Sunday I left for Queen Creek to watch Bret's kids again for a week this time!!
LIKE I SAID, We've been roll'en!!!
