Back in Utah

This morning, we got up, ate breakfast, packed everything up and started our drive back down into Utah.  As we drove through Franklin, ID, we stopped and saw Angela’s grandmother’s old stone home that is still there, and then drove over to visit the grave of her Aunt Ann.  It is amazing to see how fast time has flown and that she passed away almost 6 years ago.  We drove by the new Brigham City temple and saw it in construction, and then drove down to North Ogden to my parent’s place.

It was SO nice to take a shower and get all cleaned up!  We went to church and it was fun seeing all the people that I grew up knowing.  Some are no longer there (either passed away or moved), but it was surprising how many still knew who I was.  🙂

After church, we had a great dinner and birthday party for Zach, Brittany, and Austin!  Greg, Lisa and  little Tommy came as well.  It was great to see Tommy for the first time.  He is SO cute!

We had a great time hanging out and enjoying family company.  We also got some family pictures done which I don’t have the digital copies for yet or I would post one here.

After the party, we made a quick visit to my Uncle Jerald’s house to see him.  My aunt has Alzheimers and is bed-bound now.  He takes such good care of her.  What an amazing man to do what he does in taking care of her and meeting all her needs.  He always has a positive attitude and we admire that so much!

Well, off to bed!  We have a big day tomorrow.  We’re taking the kids to EFY in Provo and then going down to Southern Utah for some R&R!  🙂
