Utah.

Utah was beautiful, lovely weather...even quite a bit of rain. We started by going to the temple with all my brothers and sisters, and parents. It was really nice to be together. Then Sydney's birthday! Can't believe she's four. She shares a birthday with her dama-dama, so that's always fun. Thanks to Amy & Jeannie for putting on such a fabulous flower party. The pinata from the 50 foot ceiling beams was a big hit and Sydney was very polite in thanking everyone for their gifts. It was a supter fun party.

Lots of love and smiles from this little guy...our newest little Sam. What a sweet "Sam I am"!!!

lots of cousins...

sweet Quinn. He's grown so much and is seriously his daddy's child!

Lots of these two peaches. They were so cute together. Arleigh would say "oooo" and just want to kiss Avery. Avery warmed up after a while and they got along quite nicely. Love having these two so close. I am lame and didn't take too many pics...but it was equally as nice to hang out with Arleigh's mama. She is a gem. Mom was preparing for Bijou market...sewing up a storm...so me, kate and Jenna were quite busy working on tags and displays and pics. It was really a lot of fun.

Family pics...

Elder Jared Boyd Rammell...Charleston, West VA mission!

Jared's farewell was Sunday...and he did an absolutely beautiful job on his talk. He is so great and so ready to go. Kate, Jenna and I sang "Beautiful Savior"...which was nice. We had lunch at Todd and Jill's and it was so nice to be around all of our family. We had a country picnic of sorts, it was yummy. Lots of people came down to support Jared. He is going to be a great missionary. "Take me home, country roads"...

Sydney and Dama Dama on their big day!
