Family Reunion

Before heading to St. George, we had a family reunion at Jeff's sister's house in Spanish Fork. It was quick but we all had a great time. We had yummy food and a lot of fun at the pond near their house. The paddle boat was great! The last photo is of Jeff's mom and his two sisters. They are a super great family and fun to be around. Thanks Rhonda for putting up with the whole crew at your house this year!!!

The Drive

Driving to St. George is REALLY FAR!!!!

Summer in St. George

Okay, so could the weather GET any better? NOPE!!!! The weather was perfect for a day at the lake!! About 102 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! I had forgotten the weather could be this great! While spending the week in St. George for Jeff's work, we took an afternoon and went to Sand Hollow Lake for a little boating and jet ski fun. We had a blast! Everyone got in on the action: Kenzie, mom and dad, drove jet skis, Kaden and dad skied and Conner played on the beach. Then we went out for great burgers and fries and In & Out burger. Even Kaden loved his burger. Thanks to the Harrah's for being super great hosts for the week and letting us make ourselves at home in their amazing guest quarters. Great friends and great fun made for a great week!

Could this wind stop already??!!!!!

Okay, so as many of you know....my attitude is directly linked to the weather! Why, I'm not sure but it seems to get worse every year. I thought it was just the winter but I'm discovering it is ANY weather that makes me feel homebound. Snow, rain, cold, WIND!!!!! I know, I live in Idaho so what do I expect but come on...Isn't 9 months of horribly, crappy weather enough? Give me a break and give me some 90's with no wind and no rain. Is that too much to ask? It is summer break after all!!!

And even more Portugal

The first photo is of some Roman ruins in the town of Evora. The second is a creepy cathedral in the same town called the Cathedral of the bones. There is a story behind this one. The last two are of the beach in Portimao. Absolutely beautiful!!!

And More Portugal

Seeing these two families in Castelo Branco was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. Jeff had a hand in their conversions and their families are doing great! How amazing too see the work of the Lord move forward face to face. Even though the language divided us, the Spirit was definitely there. We Love you Diaz and Cruz families!!!!
