So Long, Farewell...

Lumpy loved this stroller!

Braxton being such a good cousin... Brock followed him like a shadow and about every 2 seconds yelled, " Braxton!" He absolutely loved being around Braxton!

This last weekend we journeyed up to Boise to bid Trent's parents a fond farewell. They have been called as mission presidents. They will be serving for 3 years in Baltimore, Maryland! What an awesome but overwhelming experience. We got there Friday night and we spent the night with Trent's friend Brandon Keller.. aka "Cougar". It was so nice. We spent Saturday at The Belliston's House playing with cousins, picking cherries off the tree, digging in the sand box, horseback rides and jumping on the tramp. And just when you thought we had enough.. we then went to cousin Trevor's basketball game. And to make the evening the best of all the adults got to escape from the madness and have a spiritual retreat at the Boise temple. As a family we all got to go and perform sealings. Such a wonderful event. Trent's dad is a Sealer so it was even more special for our family! What a wonderful thing the Temple is! We came back for some good food and then crashed at Cougars again.
Sunday morning was of course Father's day.. I totally spaced it. I remembered all weekend, but when it came down to the actual day I forgot. Sorry Trent. Hopefully my gift makes up for it? Anyway we went to church and heard his parents speak. The spirit was so strong there. So grateful to have such great in-laws. I really couldn't have hand picked better ones! Then back to the house for more good food and of course lots of company. It was a success!
