Drew and I were super excited to have Kinsley and Konner for the week in St. George. We had some fun things planned but it was a little hard to work around my schedule of work and his too, however we did the best we could!
Monday afternoon we got to St. George just in time to take Drew to work. We dropped him off and spent the afternoon shopping. We got tired SUPER fast because we had just had a big weekend. Luckily the kids were troopers and they even helped me shop for groceries! Later that evening we met up with Jaclyn, Ryan, Harrison, & Brittney for frozen yogurt at Yogurtland.
The next day I took the kids to my coworker's house for a pool party and BBQ! We played with her kids in their pool for quite a while and then eventually had some yummy hamburgers, watermelon, and roasted veggies. It was a blast! And the kids had fun too!

That evening when Drew got home from work, we went to the temple just for fun. It's always a fun place to go, even if it is just to walk around it!
Well Wednesday morning I woke up early to Kinsley knocking on my door at 6 am telling me that she had been up since 3 am SICK. I thought to myself, "Oh gosh, hopefully it is just food poisoning or something..." Well it turned out that she was sick all day long, poor thing.
Around lunch time I took Konner to get the World's Best Corndog and that made him happy. However, I just felt so bad that Kins was sick. It kept us from some of our fun plans that day, but it all turned out okay.
The next day was Thursday-- the day to drive back to Richfield. Kinsley was feeling better by now, and we eventually made it back to Richfield that afternoon/evening.

| This was a killer dinner that I made and Konner literally licked his plate clean! That's sayin a lot ;) |

| How sweet is my mom?! She's the best! |
The reason we came back up to Richfield was because my great-aunt Suzie passed away and her funeral was on Friday. It was her time to go and we are glad that she isn't suffering from pain or misery any more. She was diagnosed with brain cancer a few months earlier and so it was a fast process.
I wasn't able to attend her funeral because I was sick.. and that broke my heart. I've always adored her and loved her spunky personality. She was always happy and she was truly an inspiration to all those who knew her or was ever around her.

She will definitely be missed.
The next day however I was luckily feeling a little bit better and so I was able to go with my family to the Manti temple to be with my cousin Shay as he received his endowment. It was such a beautiful day and boy, the temple is by far one of my favorite places to be! Especially when I'm with my family inside the temple-- it is truly a piece of heaven! It is such a joy to be there.. I love it so much. It's such a happy, beautiful, peaceful place. It truly is the House of the Lord.
We ate at El Mexicano after the temple. We said goodbye to Shay that night because he's leaving on his mission soon and we won't see him again before he leaves. It was bitter sweet to say goodbye! We will miss him. Well, Sunday came and we left early that morning so we could spend time with Drew's parents and brother that day.

And that concludes our five weeks of travel. Holy moly!! Our little car has been such a gem! Hope it keeps it up because we are not having very much luck with finding a new car. It's okay though, we'll find one eventually.
Now this week we work and then we play on the weekend again! But this time we'll be down in Vegas for our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Woot!
Love,
Kate
