Hello, It is my turn (Nate) to post on our blog. We have recently been having a lot of fun as a family. We were able to go down to St. George and visit my older Sister Amy and her family. We were able to help them lay some cement in their back yard. It was a lot of hard work but it was fun to spend time with the family. My mom and Dad
were able to join us down there so it was good to

spend some time with them.

We were also able to go to the St. George temple visitors temple, we made the mistake of watching the families are forever movie where the grandpa dies and the family has a hard time dealing with it. Whoops, We couldn't help but think about our kids Grandpa who is sick right now. Owen tried to lighten the mood by saying "Temple, Temple!!" the whole time.

Here are some pictures of our fun time.
