We spent most of the week in Utah. I love visiting, but this week was way too hot! It was in the high 90s and one day hit 100! Yuck! There’s a reason I live where I do.
We have Melissa and Family and no extended family in Utah, so when we’re there we love to visit our friends and returned missionaries.
We got visit Jennie Klumker (She’s doing well!)

Tuesday we got to see our good friends, the Gough’s. They used to live in Lacey. I remember passing my kids as babies to their teenagers. They moved to Shelton a few years ago and this past year served a mission at Temple square. When we got to see them they had just completed their mission and were getting ready to leave in a couple of days to their new home in Idaho.

Our friends Shaun and Kathy Herbert. Ray knew them from Pennsylvania. I met Shaun when were all at Ricks together. Shaun was a witness at our sealing and his date was Kathy. They had just started dating and we went to their wedding the next summer. Hazel ran up and wanted to be in the picture. She’s a charmer!

Melissa has been wanting a backpack for Hazel to go on hikes with her. She found one when we were there and Hazel loved it. She called it her car seat.

She’s almost perfect.. except her napping. It took her about an hour to finally give it up. So sweet when she’s alseep. ;) and awake!

This is the view from Chaz’s parents front yard. They are always so kind and gracious in letting us stay with them when we are there so we can afford to come see Hazel (and of course Melissa and Chaz) more often.

On the way home we stopped at Twin Falls. It is beautiful!


One of my favorite places to stop on our driving is multnomah Falls outside of Portland. It was a nice welcome to the heat of Utah!


When we got home Ray put a ceiling fan in our bedroom. He’s awesome!

Oh Hazel! Love her so much! Her new swim suit!!

Keagan’s mission papers are sent!!!! We’re hoping to get them tomorrow. Especially since Tuesday he goes to Camp Helaman.
We’ve checked every day since we got back (Thursday evening).
Funny story- We’ve been checking every day, the mailman vehicle makes a distinct noise so we can tell when it comes every day. So, we run out and I take pictures. (It will probably come when he’s gone and we won’t get pics)
Yesterday when the mail came, we run out there and... he pulls out a big white envelope. My heart... and then.. it’s an envelope from our insurance. Hahahahaha
Melissa said, Heavenly Father definitely has a sense of humor. I was a little mean and texted her the pics first and then the story. It only took a few seconds after the pic. Hahaha

Love you all! Big news hopefully next week!!
