quick trip to Utah

It seems like we take quick trips to Utah a lot. This last weekend we were able to fit a little bit of everything into just a couple of days. It started with a day of work for Brad in the mountains next to Hanksville while the girls and I played at Goblin Valley. They love it there. It is a giant sandstone playground. This time it was half covered in snow, resulting in a lot of mud. Brad had the camera with him so we don't have any pictures of our muddy mess. We have been able to visit quite a bit over the last couple of years while Brad works. Every time we leave Olivia asks when we will be able to go back. We went to the Draper Temple open house the next day with Brad's brother Jeff's family. Once again there are no pictures. We were really bad with the camera. Didn't get many pics. It was wonderful to take the kids to the temple. They always want to go into them. Olivia told us that she felt the Holy Spirit there and that she now wanted to get married in that temple. Since then, it has changed back to the Manti Temple. It is good to give them these experiences. We visited friends, did some shopping, threw a baby shower for Rob's wife Jess, went to Cabella for some free entertainment, had a graduation party for Rob, went to a baby blessing for my cousin's cute baby boy, had a birthday party for my sister Amity, a Superbowl party, and seemed to fit in a little sleep. NOT MUCH THOUGH! We have been home for a week now and are finally starting to recover now. It is always great to see family and friends. That is the hard part of living away. We miss everyone a lot and love you all.
