Marriage, Missionaries & Memories

Mid week last week I got a call from “cousin Brent.”  He told me he was officially engaged.  It was time for a cousin dinner.  I am super blessed to live near a lot of my extended family and absolutely LOVE spending time with them!  We had a great dinner and got to meet Brent’s fiance.  Her name is Katie and she was super fun and cute!  Way to go Brent!

 

Last weekend Chase flew home because his best friend Cade was having his farewell prior to entering the mission field.  We had a great weekend.  I always say that I am so grateful for Jeff.  One of the many reasons why is being able to spend time with and love with  his friends and their families.  Here are some pictures from last weekend.  Cade entered the MTC last Wednesday and he will be an excellent missionary!

 

Notice I am either eating or talking in every photo!  No wonder my pants are tight lately.  We were the kitchen help and had a great time!   Jeff has some really incredible friends who I love spending time with.  It was so great to have Chase here. I hate sending him back to school but he will be back in a week for Thanksgiving!  YEAH!

 

Last week was “get unplugged” week at the girls school.  For an entire school week we went without tv, computer or video games.  We actually had a really good time.  By Friday the girls were ready to play so we had the Watrins down for a sleep over.  Grandpa Elden called on Saturday morning and said he was coming out with donuts.  These kids are SO lucky to have such wonderful grandparents whom they make memories with on a regular basis.
