May till now!


Nick and I have been pretty busy! Hence no post for quite a long time now. I am just going to go in the order of the photos! Sorry to you you who want them in date order!

First, my sweet brother Landon received his Endowment! Now he will be reporting to the MTC June 17th. He will be serving in the Culiacan, Mexico mission. He looked so handsome. I am so proud of him. He has prepared for a long time and he is finally here! YAY LANDON! YOU DID IT!


We were able to go through with him! How much fun it is to be with your family in the Celestial Room! Nothing else compares! I cannot wait for my other siblings to go through. What an experience! Here is the family! Uncle Mark, Landon, Mama, Dad, Nick and Me.We were so fortunate to go flying with Dave Benning in his awesome plane. Because the Bennings love Nicholas, and because I am connected to him, I get all these special treats as well! YAY!
I got to drive Dave Benning's Shelby GT 500 on the way there! YUP! Talk about amazing. When we got on the freeway he told me to gun it! AW MAN if you only could feel it. What an amazing feeling! Nick got to drive on the way home! Just shows how good it is to drive stick.... BISHOP BENNING might hand you the keys and say go ahead and drive it.


Me the passanger having a blast! Oh we went to Oxnard and back to Van Nuys! Totally flew over the ocean! It was awesome!
Here was our pilot. I am totally not kidding either! Dave Benning is an instructor so Nick got to fly. The coolest part of it was that the weather was HORRIBLE! It was foggy and just yucky! We flew up, up, up and over the clouds and found the sun and a beautiful day above the clouds. I know I sound ridiculous but honestly it was awesome!
This picture is a classic! I look like a deer staring at headlights.
Nick's birthday was so much fun! We went to a Mexican Restaurant with Casey and Cristyn (our awesome friends) and then came home and watched a movie, ate cake and opened gifts!
When he opened it up he was so happy!
What is it? Settlers of Cattan with the Expansion! Thats right. If you ever come to our home you know that Nick and I are the King and Queen of games. WE love them. They are our favorites for gifts to get and to give too! That..... popcorn and Slush..... and we got quite the evening in front of us!




When we went to Steph and Jeff's wedding in SLC we stayed with Grammy and Grandpa. We got to open Nick's Birthday gift up while we were there! He got the most amazing POPCORN bowls. THEY ARE AWESOME! We use them ALL THE TIME!

Finally, This is us at the SLC temple. We are having a blast at living life. We just love it!

Looks like such fun! Although I think I would have been way to scared to actually fly the plane... drive the car?... maybe... but not the plane. Miss you two! jan
