Dropping Elder Terry of at MTC

Well August 15th 2012 was a big day for my family.

We drove to Salt Lake and went to lunch then we went over

to the Provo temple to take some photos and wait until it was

time to take Elder Terry over to the Provo MTC. 

Then following all of that my parents

dropped the kids and I off at the airport to head back to Michigan after a 7week vacation.

                                     The beautiful Provo temple.

                                     Justin playing in the fountain.

                                  The boys of the family.(son-in-laws not present)
                                 (as well as a sister and 2  nephews)

                                       The kids and I with Clay.

                                       My Dad and Clay.

Adie and Justin saying goodbye to Uncle Clay Clay (as Justin calls him)

Saying goodbye to my little brother for 2 years.

                       For some reason this was the only photo I got of Makay and Clay.

Saying goodbye to the parents. They are so proud of him!

                 I just had to show photos of all the beautiful flowers on the temple grounds.

The final look at Elder Terry as he walks into the MTC for 3 weeks.

He will then be serving in the Manchester,New Hampshire Mission for 2 years.

Adie gets bling

When we were in Idaho my Mom and I took

Adie to get her ears pierced.

                                                  Before at 8 months old

                                      Dots marked sitting on Grandma's lap.

                                                 Here goes nothing.

                                 After so cute and girly. Taking a nap on the way home.

Family Photos

While we were in Idaho I convinced Brent to take some family photos.

                                   The best that we could get since it was after church
                                    and the kids were ready to go home.

                                   Brother and sister so happy together.

Justin loving the camera.

Bowling in Idaho

While I was in Idaho I got to go bowling twice.

The first time I went with my 2 brothers and the second time was for FHE with the family.

When Brent was in town. We had a lot of fun.

                                       The boys would try all kinds of tricks. 

                            Makay even bowled on his stomach and got a STRIKE!

                                        I even beat them in the first game.

                                 This was the best picture that I could get of the 3 of us.

                                      Justin showing off his awesome bowling shoes.

                                     Daddy and Justin picking the perfect ball.

Lava Hot Springs

Every year my family goes swimming at Lava Hot springs and we got to go this 

year while we were there and even Brent was there with us.

                                          Brent, Justin, and Clay

                                     Trying to get Justin to like the water more.

                                        Justin and Adie had so much fun they had to take a nap
                                                                     in the middle.

                                                   Brent on the waterslide.

Me on the waterslide.

Mudlake Rodeo

We had a lot of fun at the Mudlake Rodeo while we were in Idaho

Uncle Kim pulling kids behind his horse.

There was a chicken chase for all of the kids and if you caught it you got to keep it. 

I knew Justin would never do it so I didn't try, but I guess that one of the chickens

really wanted Justin. I came through the fence right to him and it was not so happy.

Bull Riding

Rexburg Rapids

Grandma T took us to the new Rexburg Rapids waterpark.

                                      Having fun splashing in the water with Mommy.

                                         Taking a break for some yummy snacks.

                                  Justin had so much fun he fell asleep halfway through the day.
