Holly and Katie snuggling together 9/28/2014 It's been a pretty churchy weekend!  Maddi got her endowments out yesterday morning so spent all morning in the temple.  Yesterday evening was the women's broadcast.  Katie, Holly and I enjoyed the meeting together. Afterward we picked up dad and had late dinner at Carl's junior (I love their oreo icecream bars!!!) Dallas The whole meeting for the broadcast was centered on living your life so you can attend the temple. If you are old enough of course you should be attending but if you aren't or can't for some reason still live for the temple.  Read your scriptures, pray, radiate the light of the spirit, be a good example, etc.  One sister said that her husband was a stake president and when people came in for interviews he could always tell if they were worthy to attend the temple because they had a "spirit" about them and a "glow" and he could just tell. Cool, eh?! I hope that my ...

9/22/2014 Holly getting ready to cook Hey Bryce! This week was much less eventful than last week.  No robberies, flooding...oh but there was a giant sink whole opened up over on Sunset Blvd.  A big truck drove into it (but didn't fall in) and the road gave way.  25' wide and 14' deep. It is over by the gas station and the movie theaters on the way to Aunt Laura's house. I think the road is still closed one or two lanes.  Crazy. We just had a usual week.  The YM/YW did a foster care carnival on Friday night from 5-9 p.m.  The girls volunteered and did face painting.  The boys ran some balloon pop games and fishing booth and stuff.  The kids had a nice time.  It was pretty fun.  Still hot here...didn't really cool off until close to 9 p.m. when it was over. We were the later shift and I was glad.  5-7 was probably really hot. Made yummy treats, now time to eat them! Holly arrived and put the smiley face in yo...

9/14/2014 Rainbow behind our house Another week has gone by and it's been a busy one!  Of course you know that Monday we were in Provo with AJ (I was in BORING conferences all day).  It was fun to see AJ and hang with him a little. I think he enjoyed the one-on-one attention too!  Just like the ol days! On the way home it rained and rained and rained.  There were a few patches of clearing but when it rained it was really raining!  It rained so much that it washed out a section of I-15 south of Mesquite and a car got washed over a bridge (the people survived but made for some wild and scary video!).  The road to Nevada from Utah was closed for about a week as they spent millions of dollars and rebuilt the section of road.  I guess the hotels in Las Vegas and St. George were probably packed. I heard there were miles of trucks just lined up originally when it happened.  The go-around I guess was a 4 hour detour or something. Then there w...

09/08/14 Hey Bryce!  How are you? I'm sitting in room 631 at the Marriott Hotel in Provo waiting for my conference to start at 10:30 this morning.  Me and dad got to take a quick trip up here all by ourselves.  Met AJ last night and ate his left over date food...cafe rio burrito. It was yummy but cold. Trying to remember what went on this week...seems like we've been super busy but I can't think of what we were doing!  Haha. The girls and I went to a bridging ceremony, hot dog roast and then swam in a pool and a pond last Friday night for about 4 hours.  Then we went to a movie in the park.  It was fun.  Love deer haven camp.  It's the same one we went to this summer.   So fun. Dallas has a new girl he is dating that he found on snap chat.  Makayla from West Jordan.  She is living by herself in a condo in St. George going to Dixie College.  She is 18.  Her dad is assistant chief police up in Cotto...
