Elder Clayton Returns!

Elder Clayton returned home on May 27, 2015 arriving at the Salt City International Airport at 4:00 p.m.  I could hardly wait to go get him and bring him home to our welcome banner and balloons to greet him.  We were the first ones there and got the best place in the waiting area.  Seems like he took forever to finally come down the escalator, but when he did...it was just as wonderful as it should have been.  That hug I have waited to give him for two years is the absolute best.  There where several other missionaries on the plane with him, so it was very full and fun with exciting families and friends to greet their sons and daughters.  He served so well, but oh it's great to have him home.

What we've been Up to Lately.

We have had a great few weeks and doing some fun things.  Here's proof...

This year for Spring break we took a quick trip down to St. George.  Just having a great time with the three of us.  Hiking, Slurpees, Black Bear Diner, St. George Temple, and blowing bubbles while singing Bye, Bye, American Pie.  Life is pretty great.  So glad Caleb will still go with us.  It's lonely with the others not able to go.  Soon, very, very soon!

 Still trying so hard to reach my goal.  Not sure it will ever come to be.  I did 1000 jumps on this bad boy.  I have a love/hate relationship with this darn thing.  But, I did it...with 10+ trips to the bathroom for extra steps.

 We love Maeve.  Can't believe this little princess is one today.  My boys love her, too.  We have a lot of fun with the Fitts family that we have adopted as our own.

 The Payson Temple Open House last weekend was what everyone had in mind to attend.  It took us almost three hours to get there, but totally worth it.  We are so blessed to have so many temples in our area.  I love what they are and the blessing that await all who go there.  Families are Forever.  We love having Tori join us and all enjoyed a burger at Smashburger afterwards.  What a great time.

 Our good friend, Rick opened up this Paws Pet Wash yesterday.  He needed some test run clients and so we took Zoie down.  Funny thing I had just mentioned that morning I was going to bath her.  This is brilliant!  Shampoo, condition, rinse, vacuum and dry; with treats after if you want.  And bonus...no scouring the bathtub after, just walk away.  We will be wash, lather and repeat customers.

Lastly, we have a new lunch bunch that will trying out new places that are like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  This was a place in Ogden called Scruds and yummy hamburgers.  I didn't go to far out of the normal box however, yet it did not disappoint.  The conversation was worth the $$$.  Not bad, but kind of a high price tag for a burger.

Happy 50th & Extra Things

 This is some of the gang that I hang with in the morning at Four Pillar.  Funny how these people become your friends, and greatest cheerleaders!  Gave them bday cookies for sure!
