We Traveled to St. George Utah with friends Murphy and Nina Su'a and Murphy's sister Dorothy to attend the temple sealing of their daughter Natasha to her husband Gene. As their Bishop, Kent married Natasha and Gene in a civil ceremony two years ago, so it was a wonderful opportunity to be present at their sealing. Gene and Tasha were surrounded by many of the their family and friends. It was a very emotional experience. We felt such joy for their family and gratitude that we were able to be a part of it.<br /><br />Murphy was our driver, so this made the road trip even more fun! This is the first time Kent has ridden as a passenger to Utah since he was a kid. It was so relaxing for him. For those of you who are familiar with "Nielsen's" Frozen Custard, we made three stops there in a 24 hour period and converted the Su'a family along the way!!! We really enjoyed watching Murphy and Nina with their beautiful grandchildren. Justin and Melissa drove down from Provo with Jarom their 2 1/2 year old, and Eliana, their 5 month old. Mya, their 1 1/2 year old hates car seats so they thought it would be best to leave her at home with Melissa's parents. Tasha and Gene's daughter Alitasi, is 2 1/2 but is already wearing 5T clothing! Tasha told us she overheard Gene in the living room with her saying, "No, Tasi, those are girl's push ups." Apparently, she can do 5 regular push ups from her toes already!!! Natasha is expecting another little baby girl in three weeks.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures from our trip.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFDmJ__VzLIw6e_mz7I8ifZyWh8IFACFhUmUzYou8zVtHhDA_S94nkKuQsxOqEbbtkM8puQzbMoOhPZpnXDGfxesU11AgOLYlaa39DMQmoVYygPXOyP7Fc9YKr3ds7ZNjilpfjfeJEuw/s1600-h/IMG_0987.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFDmJ__VzLIw6e_mz7I8ifZyWh8IFACFhUmUzYou8zVtHhDA_S94nkKuQsxOqEbbtkM8puQzbMoOhPZpnXDGfxesU11AgOLYlaa39DMQmoVYygPXOyP7Fc9YKr3ds7ZNjilpfjfeJEuw/s400/IMG_0987.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292851995946878610" border="0" /></a>Cheryl went to to Natasha's baby shower as she is 8 1/2 months pregnant.<br /></div><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0JLTZBsU6hBKp6DTYP0BklX02Y52yBhCJl740fpbn1bbwoAKpZJLtktu63BrbAoh9-LefeD8xS8HRBYKekFDJqwc7iNUN511DqotOnJfZbqxypjqPvVxHpE25Wrh9_qSHxs9n0n_cqw/s1600-h/IMG_0988.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0JLTZBsU6hBKp6DTYP0BklX02Y52yBhCJl740fpbn1bbwoAKpZJLtktu63BrbAoh9-LefeD8xS8HRBYKekFDJqwc7iNUN511DqotOnJfZbqxypjqPvVxHpE25Wrh9_qSHxs9n0n_cqw/s400/IMG_0988.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292852827074526146" border="0" /></a>Kent and Murphy crashing the baby shower and eating the leftovers<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmm71lMPvlkNfU5pqWKNfig9AbIb7lygaElTWwQf_AKlHYStl4OUqQ28dx9WOhlMX3EaWs4z0kRuZ8RN4cNnULAEF22XV1OHvXk8iWKv9onz09Oe9LFXNH61wUoy4LLEsCeMT3T_XKYI/s1600-h/IMG_0995.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmm71lMPvlkNfU5pqWKNfig9AbIb7lygaElTWwQf_AKlHYStl4OUqQ28dx9WOhlMX3EaWs4z0kRuZ8RN4cNnULAEF22XV1OHvXk8iWKv9onz09Oe9LFXNH61wUoy4LLEsCeMT3T_XKYI/s400/IMG_0995.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292853497223496498" border="0" /></a>Grandpa Su'a with Jarom and Tasi<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IFcf51Q5NHuXTF8zv8yUChN9XF95V2IBS2IFQFK7yi3Mi60f4bsXTS0cw6e3D-Fys-FCbs-2Sf6Igm7MJfqrTb6Kne_z5g1ffyg060_QVGVEDrtQ_ZRpQc_Lk-KLfkOxTyfUuJtdMGg/s1600-h/IMG_0998.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IFcf51Q5NHuXTF8zv8yUChN9XF95V2IBS2IFQFK7yi3Mi60f4bsXTS0cw6e3D-Fys-FCbs-2Sf6Igm7MJfqrTb6Kne_z5g1ffyg060_QVGVEDrtQ_ZRpQc_Lk-KLfkOxTyfUuJtdMGg/s400/IMG_0998.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292855213587073426" border="0" /></a>Auntie Dorothy with Jarom and Eliana<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0hbLSozPx67a9NabcFTiOcWb96BnjceyLkifxpcpZ_Wb5Q8hioI2KWNndK8dILmh-3p6AMp9WIXDZqsPosWw5iz2p069yEBfB9zcndZNe8W2ps1YLQfITnhMgDioMjtTnpnDhjKUJ9S8/s1600-h/IMG_1002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0hbLSozPx67a9NabcFTiOcWb96BnjceyLkifxpcpZ_Wb5Q8hioI2KWNndK8dILmh-3p6AMp9WIXDZqsPosWw5iz2p069yEBfB9zcndZNe8W2ps1YLQfITnhMgDioMjtTnpnDhjKUJ9S8/s400/IMG_1002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292855545201277426" border="0" /></a>Murphy nicknamed Eliana, their little "Eskimo!"

They were all here for two weeks. We loved having a full house again--especially with a little baby. We kept busy doing all sorts of things: Rock Band marathons, puzzle making, games, golf lessons, ice skating, bike rides, playing in the tide pools, seeing "Wicked" and visiting Hollywood and the Ronald Regan Library. We had so much fun. It was sad to take down all the Christmas decorations after the house was quiet again knowing that we won't have everyone together again for another two years. Here are a few pictures of all our adventures.</span><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302503272772559708.post-32908040365550672432008-12-20T09:11:00.000-08:002008-12-20T09:12:17.209-08:00Lila, our new granddaughter<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg65cdo3SN5oFgLXd2WXhVJ7jMhAItUUHoRSQbz0rDu1UGXUPIiFQl-jD8q6zJLX4BmCOaP1BCBdgPL9ojauRPsCfroNPWUrmfVnrVmqmdOxR0-k7imQkbCwGbfl__dnlgzWf1_1RP5L0/s1600-h/PICT0081.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg65cdo3SN5oFgLXd2WXhVJ7jMhAItUUHoRSQbz0rDu1UGXUPIiFQl-jD8q6zJLX4BmCOaP1BCBdgPL9ojauRPsCfroNPWUrmfVnrVmqmdOxR0-k7imQkbCwGbfl__dnlgzWf1_1RP5L0/s320/PICT0081.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281921119629283410" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302503272772559708.post-2914527775061646632008-12-19T23:01:00.000-08:002008-12-19T23:08:40.922-08:00With nothing wise to say and it being late I will leave you all with the spanish version of good night spoken by a three year old at a clients house I was servicing this week.
