Rylie's last day of school party.

Hot-N- Ready only $5.00 each.

Rylie invited only a few people over for a small party. That is how it goes. You invite a few, they invite a few. The next thing you know its a ton of people. It was a lot of fun. I just wish that the weather was warmer and I could of sent them outside. Maybe next year.

Sister's trip 4th day.

We all love Our Savoir. 
We did a Temple session in the Salt Lake Temple. What a blessing that we all love the temple and can go together. 
Barb, Judy and Debbie at Tyler's Grave. (Don't do drugs)
Judy is a great example of Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. She can do hard things and teach us to trust in the Lord and never give up. 

We as sisters had a wonderful time together. We are so much alike and yet so different. We all are going after the same goal. To live with our Father in Heaven and with our families. We all try to live the Gospel the best we know how. We may do it differently. But we also do it the same.  We each have a strong desire to serve and care for others. My sisters are a great example to me. They both have taught me different things. Thank you Debbie for coming out so we could spend this time together to strengthen our  relationship and our testimonies. Can't wait for the next trip.

Salt Lake City Cemetery. More of day 1. Sister's trip

Debbie, Barb, and Judy at our 4th great grandfather Samuel Merrill 
We meet this way cute girl from France. She was so excited to find President Hinckley's Grave. He was the Prophet when she was baptized. You could feel her love for this great Prophet. She had a heavy accent. A little hard to understand but she was adorable.   
President Spence W Kimball was  the Prophet when I was called on my mission. He came to Florida while I was serving.  I had the blessing of meeting him. He gave me a kiss on the cheek. Wow!! now that was a great experience for me.  This was at the begin of my mission. I was so ready to convert the world. I really felt something powerful in his presence.  
Judy, Debbie and I at the grave of Brigham Young.

Click here for the information of all the Prophet's gave sites it was so much fun. Debbie is the one in our family the loves family history. She spends a lot of time in cemeteries. We laugh a lot, smiled a lot and just really enjoyed our time doing what we like to do.

Sister's trip in Utah. Day 1

Debbie, Judy and I eating at Parker's Drive In  in American Fork. When Judy and I were in High School in Lehi we would go to Parker's. I use to get a hamburger, fries, and a fresh lime for .92 cents. Now the Fresh limes are $1.50 with out the fries or hamburger. It was one of our favorites places to eat.  I still like it.
Then we went to Gardner Village for a little shopping.  
Our niece Cami lives in Day Break so we went to visit her. 
This is her cute son Carter.

Each year Debbie, Judy and I go on a sister's trip. This year Debbie only had a short window of time because she is take some classes so she can graduate  from collage. (Way to go Debbie)  Debbie came up here and we just did some fun things in Utah. More pictures to come. But lets just say we laugh a lot and had the time of our lives. We love to be together. When we are together I always think how can we be so different from each other yet so much alike. We all get along so we. My sisters are the BEST!!
