the Folks visit SLC

Oh happy day when "The Parents" come to town! "The Parents" is what our blended family calls what other families just say "Mom and Dad"- It's WAY fun! So, the parents hadn't seen Jenny's new baby, so they came into town for that and for General Conference this last October. I just simply adore them- and they hadn't seen our place since I got married- so there was a little pressure for things to be "just perfect"! It's all good- cuz I kind of need an excuse to clean my house every once in a while!

Here we are- striking a pose at the Saturday afternoon session of Conference.

Jenny's little Ashton LOVES Grandpa! Who wouldn't? Dave ROCKS!


This is my mom's classic baby hold- I don't know how it happens- but once a baby is in this hold- they get completely captivated by my mom's hypnotic baby babble chanting!
Happy Birthday Mom! So- she needed a new curling iron DESPERATELY! I surprised her for her birthday and of course she did the chin hold to thank me. This is another classic Marilyn mannerism!

Thanks for taking this picture Sammy- I love the way the water is spraying up almost in the same shape as the Temple behind it!

My Mom and I sharing a special moment in the Church Office Building- she also took me downstairs where she ran into President Spencer W. Kimball while she and her mom were looking for the restrooms; My Mom decided to wait outside of the restroom for my Grandma to come out- and all of a sudden President Kimball walked around the corner and almost bumped into my Mom! She was speechless at first and finally managed a " OH! Hello!" He said hello back and kept walking. She was in complete shock when my Grandma got out of the restroom and basically just said- "Mom- you just missed the Prophet!" Crazy, huh?!


I know- not a usual photo you would find after reading a story about a Prophet- but we went to Buca di Beppo in SLC for my Mom's birthday. There's all sorts of fun little decor like this in that place!


The birthday girl - Splurging on gelato and cannoli's!

Ashton- looking perfect- as USUAL!

We did a session at the Bountiful Temple with my Parents- it was fabulous!

The view from the Bountiful Temple looking west. I never realized how beautiful this place could be!
