Justin comes home from Hawaii!

Justin was supposed to be home on Friday morning but flights were full. He made it home in time for conference. It was great to have him home. He was a little thin but his spirit was good. Ofcourse we had mexican food and roast beef and anything to get some food down him! We saw his debut on BYU TV after the Saturday session. On Sunday afternoon, Kirk, Sue, Tiffany, Cody and Alessia (Karen's daughter) came for dinner. It was fun to have the cousins all together-it's been many years.

Justin then had to leave Monday morning instead of Tuesday and it looked like he wasn't going to get a chance to go to the lake. But Keifer got up with him at 6:00 am and the two went jet skiing for a couple of hours before his 10:45 flight! What a great big brother!
It was great to have Justin home and see such growth! He even loved his room redecorated-he just stood there and said, "How elegant!"

Jet skiing and Jamon's family

On Oct 2, we went jet skiing with Jamon, Kristen and Keegan Smith. We had a great time and Mr. Keegan in a "mini-me" Jamon-style.

Little John comes for a visit

My home teacher came Sunday and asked if I knew John Dana. I said yes and then began telling me how he was having him fly out here for a job interview. He was considering bringing him in as a partner or something in his business. I told him I really hadn't seen him in many years and I would love to see him. The next thing I know, I got a phone call Monday morning from his secretary asking if they could bring John by about 4pm on Friday when they were done with the interviews. I told them how awesome that would be! And so we had a nice visit and it's seems something never change. He still the same old John! It was a nice gesture from my home teacher to make sure I got to see my cousin!

Labor Day in San Diego

This year we spent Labor Day in San Diego with Chuck and Gail McClure. It was a nice relaxing trip. We left Thursday night and got there late. Gail has this affection for the kitchen and cooked nonstop. And I mean nonstop! From biscuits and gravy, hot philly sandwiches and on and on. It took me a week to recover! But relax we did! and ofcourse we watched the BYU/OK game! Wow what a game!
