Our trip to Utah

Dylan and Gavin in the Dinosaur Museum searching for Dino fossils.

Cohen...what a cutie!

Gav and Dylan playing in the sand and water at the Dino museum. (I think this was their favorite.)

Gavin and Dylan at BYU campus. Do you see the bell tower behind them? It plays beautiful music every hour.







Ashlyn and Myka at Jump on it! They loved the trampolines.








Dylan and Gavin getting some energy out on the tramp.









We went to Utah to visit my niece Jullian and her family. We stayed with them for a week. We also got to visit several of Brennen's Uncle's, Aunt's, and cousin's. Many of them Bren hasn't seen for a really long time, and some I've never met before. So that was fun to get to know them a bit and catch up on the past few years. We got to see Bren's sister Emily too!
Part of the reason for going to Utah, when we did, was to go to General Conference. We (Brennen and I) went to the Sunday morning session. Jullian was so wonderful to baby sit the kids for us. It was a wonderful experience to feel the sweet spirit in the conference center. Just to be in the same room as our prophet, his counselors and the leaders of our church. It really touched my heart, and made me so grateful for my testimony of a living prophet today. It makes me almost cry now thinking about the peaceful feeling I had that day, and the gratitude I feel to my heavenly father for all the blessings in my life.
We had a really good time, and I can hardly wait to get back to visit again!
