My Baby is 20!

 
It's official, I have a grown-up daughter! Addie is no longer a teenager! Addie is so delightful! She is a joy to be around and is so much fun! I love every chance I get to be with her! 
Happy Happy Birthday cute girl! We love you more than I can ever express!!!

My mom and dad are officially done with their mission for the summer! They are planning on going back in the spring, but for now they are home. It was fun that she could come to the temple and lunch with us! I loved being with her and Addie. My heart felt at home! 

 
Barbara and Roseann and I have been planning this trip to the Manti Temple for a little while. Barbara has wanted to do a session there since she went to the open house. Roseann and her mother have never been there before. It worked out perfectly to go up and celebrate Adelah's birthday! 
The temple workers gave us a tour of the staircase and the Priesthood room and some of the sealing rooms. It's a beautiful temple. Roseann got to sit in on a sealing and was able to be the proxy for the mom. We tried to go to lunch in Spring City at the Das Cafe, but it was closed, so we ended up at Roy's. I had one of the most special experiences at the temple. It was so beautiful. I'm so grateful I got to go! The Manti Temple is fun, because with all of the changes, the temples don't change rooms or do live sessions anymore. Although, it wasn't a live session, we still got to move rooms, and its such a cool experience. If you haven't ever done, I think you should try it, at least once! I love it and it helps me stay awake. Which is a good thing.

HOCO 2024

 
It was so different to be the boy mom for a dance! It was completely a different experience. Porter had a fun group. They spent the day at Gunlock, fishing, paddle boarding, and they had a picnic. 


 
Carly Jones was his date. They have been friends their whole lives! It was so weird that they are old enough to be on a date! 

 
The Babe and I got to host the dinner. We robbed mom's house and used all of her fancy china and table cloth! I'm so grateful she let us borrow all of it! I'm not so good at all this fancy stuff! But I think it turned out beautiful. It was super fun to have them! They are such a good bunch of kids!
