What are you doing this summer?????

This what J and I will be doing this summer!

We get to be Ma & Pa to some of the youth in our ward as we head out on a handcart trek!

We are so excited for this neat experience!

Do you think we'll look this good?

In prepping for the trek, we have been reading, "Fire & Covenant" by Gerald Lund. It is so good! I can't believe the conditions they suffered. Their faith is so incredible!

Our Sweet Grandma Dallin

Our wonderful Grandma has gone on to Heaven to spread love & joy!

We also believe she is planting roses and spreading the love of the color PINK!

Our Sweet Memories of Grandma Dallin
Stephanie's Memories:

* She would always call us "darlin" or "her dolly"

* Her shelling ice cream bucketfuls of pomegranate seeds

*Grandma was the best cook

*The time Grandma made all of the grandkids sleeping bags and bags to put them in. I remember the sleeping bags covering the basement floor.

We had a great week in SUNNY California! We spent 5 days in the parks. It was Spring Break down in Cali, so it was quite crowded. We didn't get to ride as much as in the past, but we still had a great time. Sat. the girls and mom went to see Wicked. It was so good! We want to see it again! We have been spending alot of time singing along to the soundtrack since being home! We came home to 3" of snow at home..........it was quite depressing! We all wanted to head back to Disneyland! We love Disney!
