JUNE 2016
Kyle and I went to Arizona in June to visit Mandy and Jon and kids.
MANY exciting events going on!!!
First of all.... we helped them move from their home in Glendale to a new
rental in Phoenix. It was HOT and miserable but we got it accomplished.
Jay, Jody, Miranda, Brandon, Jordyn, Susan and John were all there
as well. So many hands made for lighter work.
The next day.....
Jon graduated from medical school. His ceremony was awesome!
It made my eyes water several times. I am so proud of him and Mandy
for achieving this milestone in their lives. It has been a difficult and long road
but it will be so worth it! It was so great to have his Dad there with him!
After graduation we went to Jon's favorite BBQ place where we ate far
too much deep fried food..... Cauliflower, mushrooms, onions..
Oh my! We were rather sick afterwards!
Following that we went to Mandy and Jon's old house
that was empty - but clean. Their bishop met us there and after a brief
introduction, the men in the group that held the priesthood circled around
Little Miss Quinn and gave her a name and a blessing. It was a very special occasion marked with a special spirit of love by all those present. Jon gave Quinn a humble
and heartfelt, tender blessing. The little ones all seemed to recognize the importance
of the event and behaved with amazing reverence and respect.
Couldn't get everyone to look at the camera at the same time!
Kyle, Me, Brandon, Jon, Jay, Jody, Susan, John
Jensen, Mandy, Quinn, Miranda
Jordyn, Reese
We went home before Reesie's 5th birthday but Mandy posted these great pictures
of the day. As usual, Mandy threw her a great party with all kinds of "HelloKitty" fun.
Reese had a great time!
Kyle and I got Reese the fixin's for a fairy garden and left it up
to Mom and Dad to help her put it together. They did awesome!
