Happy Father's Day

Happy Father Day to me. I am one lucky Dad to have such a wonderful family! 

We were down in St. George this Father's Day weekend so it was a lot of fun to see both of our dads on Father's Day.  The kids spoiled Russell with some funny gifts like sunflower seeds, Reeses, socks, a back scratcher, and gear for his bike.  They each made him a card as well.  He loved all of it.  

While we were in St. George, we were able to attend Becca's mission farewell.  I know she will be a great missionary because she has a great testimony.  She leaves for her mission to Cincinatti, Ohio in a week.

Because the MTC's have been closed because of Covid, Becca had to do a week of Home MTC.  Then on June 23 or so, the MTC's opened back up and Becca was able to be one of the first missionaries to go back to the MTC.  Above is a picture of her at the MTC.  I stole it off the Church website in the article about the MTC's opening back up.  She is famous!

Also while we were in St. George for the weekend, Jacee had her baby, Fynlee Lacie Hulet.

She is so cute!! Here is the proud grandma.  I was lucky enough to be able to visit Jacee in the hospital before we left and hold her adorable baby.  They wouldn't let Brooklyn in so these two cousins will have to meet another time.

We also spent some time with Grandma Morwood.  

This was the first time Brooklyn and Grandma have met.  It was fun to see them together.  Brooklyn wasn't so sure at first and kept crying but then when Grandma fed her a bottle, they were friends. It is crazy to see 102 year age difference in these two.  We love visiting Grandma and are glad she is still doing well with her health.  After leaving Grandma's house, the kids had a blast at Terral's pool.

On the way home on Sunday, we stopped along the way to get gas and feed Brooklyn.  We stopped at a park near this awesome yellow Camero.  The boys could not stop drooling over it.  Then the owner of the car walked up and Russell told her the boys wanted to trade cars with her.  She laughed and said she didn't want to trade but if they wanted to sit in the car they could.  You have never seen such excited kids.  They totally were on board and happy to sit behind the wheel.

They could not believe that the lady was serious and let them pretend to drive her car.  The car looked just like Bumblebee from Transformers and even had the Transformer logo on it.  The owner, Jenny, said it was her midlife crisis car and was happy to share it with the kids.  She was very nice.  The kids were in heaven.  Then unfortunately they had to get back in the van...  Not as cool as Bumblebee.  Sorry.

This was a really fun trip and I am glad we got to spend time with family.   Happy Father's Day.
