Arizona Sun!!

Brothers and sister back together again.


Josh and Jared just returned from a long day of golf. They were hot and needed to cool down. The pool had not been heated yet so when they dove in they got a little more cool than they were planning.




We went and had a pedicure. Cute yeah? It was so relaxing.

Jakelle - What a cutie!!

Sister's

Jana has an orange tree and a Lemon tree. They smelt so sweet.

Carol and I had a great trip to Mesa Arizona, this last Thursday, to see Jana, and to be there for Joshua's home coming. The weather was just perfect. Not too hot and not the cold we left her in Utah. The orange blossoms were in bloom and everytime you step outside it's smells like you have stepped into a flower shop. I wished I could have bottled it and brought it home. The sun felt so good I didn't want to come home.
Joshua gave an awesome talk. You could see the wheels turning in his head translating everything from Spanish to English as he spoke. He has grown so much. The experiences he told were very touching, and the spirit was so strong. I'm sure he was an amazing missionary.
It was good to hear his laugh again, to see him bopping around the house teasing his mother and making her laugh.
Jana, Carol and I were able to spend some time together. We had some long talks, and Friday, went to lunch and to see a movie. We saw the movie "Taken". It was very intense, but good. I felt like I had run five miles when it was over. We got a pedicure, and felt so pampered.
Saturday, the Westergard family all came over for a big BBQ for Josh. Lynn BBQ-ed ribs and chicken that were very tasty.
I love going to my sister's. She is a wonderful hostess and there is always a good feeling in her home. It was fun to have Carol with me this time. Thanks Carol for going with me, and thanks Westergard's for always going out of your way to make me feel so welcome.
