Family Togetherness

This past weekend was wonderful! Having Jessie home for a visit made our family feel complete. I think that Shellise and Jessie really missed each other. As you can tell by these pictures, they might even love each other! Jessie has grown up so much. I think he grew another 2-3 inches since we saw him last. He is almost as tall as Shellise now, at 5'8".

We had a wonderful time together. On Saturday the kids went back to their old stomping grounds in Kearns and watched a little league football game between Kearns and Hunter. They both had friends playing on both teams but they still routed for Kearns even though we now live in the Hunter area. After the football game we picked Bill up after his Paragliding class and went to lunch at Guadalahonky's Mexican Restaurant in Draper. The food was great the company was awesome! We picked up Jessie's best friend Ryan and had him over to our house for swimming and skateboarding. They always have such fun together and have been friends for many years. Thank goodness for good friends.




It was sure nice having Jessie attend church with us and seeing him pass the sacrament. It is very difficult seeing an empty spot every week where Jessie should be during sacrament meeting. We all miss him so very much every day and every week.

Swimming, sharing meals together, watching movies on the big screen at home, and visiting with extended family members made for some wonderful memories. The best memory is seeing both the kids having fun together and being happy. We will cherish these memories forever. What terrific and beautiful kids we have.

The weekend came to a close on Monday, when we had to drive Jessie down to meet his dad in Scipio. We don't know when we will get to see him next because he will be busy playing football in Cedar City every weekend from this point on for several weeks. Good Luck Jessie! We Love You.

I'm sorry we didn't get to see Jessie over the weekend. Love the pictures though. Distance must make the heart grow fonder. Those two look like they had fun together. Is Jessie going to be up for Gma's Birthday? I hope so!

Sherrie, Thanks so much for having Ryan over this weekend. He had a lot of fun with Jessie. I'm glad they are best friends. They have the type of friendship that will probably last them a long time no matter the distance. Thanks for sharing your time with Jessie so that Ryan could hang out. Hopefuly we will get to see him again soon. Good luck at football Jessie.

Sherrie I'm so glad Allison gave you my blog! I must admit it took me a minute to figure out who you were. You and your kids have changed so much and you have a new last name! You and your kids look so good and I am SO HAPPY for you! Congrats on your engagement! Keep in touch!
