We took a quick trip to Utah to witness the sealing of Megan Hoyt to Chris Alme in the Salt Lake Temple and then drove to St. George to bless Jacob's little girl Macey. This picture is taken out the balcony at Julia's parents house in St. George. What an amazing view they have. Their home is so beautiful and just the right size to house all the visitors that were there.
Look how big Nixon is getting. He is wanting to stand up on his own and crawl around everything. He is such a happy and funny little tike!
This is an amazing picture. Seated on the far left is Nixons GREAT Grandma (she is holding Nixon) in the middle in the chair is 92 years old GREAT GREAT Grandma. Great Grandpa is leaning in by Nic with the mustache. We were so glad to let great-great grandma meet Nixon for the first time. They all live in St. George so we took the time to visit with them while we were there. Such wonderful people. Only one missing was Nic's mom Grandma Bennion!!
We went out for ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi while in Provo and proceeded to pork out until we felt like blowing up!! All the food was great but it was really crowded that night and so the service was not the best. Thanks Kandis and Nic for introducing sushi to your father! We will have to do it again and hope it won't be so crowded.
It was a fast trip but it was great to see Chris and Tim Hoyt and all of their children at the Salt Lake Temple. It was a surprise to Chris that Sid was coming so she was really surprised when she saw us. I had never been to St. George before and didn't know why so many "old " people want to retire there. Now I know why! There is shopping and restaurants everywhere. The scenery is not what I particularly like but I could get used to it. The wards are huge and filled with wonderful members and lots of young families are moving to the area now because of jobs.
We also had a chance to see Wayne and Laurie and their HUGE addition project that is happening in their home. The place is amazing and truly is the Scott Hotel for sure. Jessie looked great and is still making progress. His new apartment will be so nice for him to be able to become more independent. Laurie is doing a fantastic job of keeping on top of all the subs and making sure his needs are met in every way. Pool party at their house when the whole thing is finished!! (Cannonball!) The rest of our down time was spent in Provo with Nic and Kandis and it was great to be around little Nixon. He is growing way to fast! I hope it won't be long before we get to see everyone again!
