Mom and dad take a much needed break as the open house winds down.

Look at the cute cookies of missionaries, the state of California, the California flag, palm trees and suns.

Mission Bucket List {Lake Powell}

This past week we went to Lake Powell. This is a yearly family tradition and on Aaron's bucket list. Aaron had fun "cutting the glass" in the morning, riding the tube, playing cards, and eating dutch oven.

Aaron, Mom, Dad, Ali, Jake....and Jack! The photographer cut out the little tike!

Aaron is tubing with Ali and having fun laughing at his sister!

Aaron is "cutting the glass" at 6:00 am.

The Temple

Aaron was able to go to the temple this past week. He chose to go to the Draper Temple. I had never been to this temple before, and it did not disappoint. It's a smaller temple, but oh so beautiful. We all had a good experience, especially Aaron. I am so proud of him. He is going to be such a fabulous missionary!
