The kids and I traveled last week to spend time with family as Aaron prepared for a big job interview. We missed Aaron so much!
Our first stop: Angela and her kids met us in Fruita to spend time with Papa and Grandma Donna. Cousin time is the best!
We then decided to drive to Utah to attend the Jordan River Temple Open House and Owens's baby blessing.
What a treat it is to take our little children through the temple during an Open House. A volunteer at the temple saw all the cousins together and said, "Cousin Strong!" He reminded them how blessed they are to have cousins to support one another - on missions, in getting married in the temple, and in choosing the right.
After the temple Open House, we went to the Aquarium to meet up with Angelica and her kids!
Utah is exhausting. This trip was one of my favorites because we weren't driving hours to meet up with family, like we usually do. I love Utah because so many people live there, but it can also get draining trying to see everyone. This was one of my favorite trips because we stayed in South Jordan close to Angela's house the entire time we were there!
Owen was born a week after Eleanor and it was so nice to meet him! I've always wanted twins and since that hasn't happened, I'm grateful my children have cousins so close in age.
Grandpa Volk made it to Utah for the blessing so we were happy to see him as well!!
I returned home so grateful for extended family that are earnestly striving to living the gospel! What a great example they are to all of us!
