Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
2 Nephi 31:20

{more joy} Back in UT!

We are back!  Last week we went on a family vacation to (very) sunny ARIZONA where it was only 108 degrees :)  Now we are back and getting ready for Lulu to start Kindergarten next week & then for Buddy to start preschool the week after that.  We have had and will continue to have a fun-filled August.
For those who are interested, here is a recap of our vacation:
Saturday we drove four hours to St. George to play and visit with Brandon, Shaylah & Breah.  Lulu & Buddy had fun at the splash park with Breah while Squiggle stayed and had a nap in Breah's crib--what a nice, sharing, cousin.


Sunday night (about 10PM) we started our LONG drive to AZ where we met Grandma and Grandpa--aren't they adorable?  We were very thankful to G&G for letting go on this vacation with them and stay in a fabulous condo with great swimming pools.



We also got reacquainted with our cousins and had fun playing with them.

On Wednesday we drove down to Tucson and visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum & Old Tucson Studios.  Very fun, but very hot.



Thursday we headed back to Phoenix and had fun swimming and relaxing some more.  Saturday we visited the Chinese Cultural Center, then headed Brenda & Trevor's reception.  We attended in our nice dress clothes, but changed into PJ's for the long ride home back to UT.




So, we had a great time overall.  We got to see family members we don't see too much, play with Grandma & Grandpa A LOT, swim, and the best part--be together!
