APO

Kenzie has been learning to sound out words in school. She came to Richard this morning and announced, Hey Dad, I know how to spell "apple", APO!! He had to chuckle and told her that was close but apple was spelled a p p l e. Maybe she has listened to the Jeff Foxworthy cd too much!!!

Stuart's big day

The morning started off at 5:30 am. I borrowed a van from a friend and we all piled in leaving the house at 6:30. We made it to Manti about 7:40. Kortny, Tyler and Taylie along with KayLee stayed in Kari and Jaron’s motel room while we were at the Temple. Baby Camdyn stayed with them. Then we took Kenna, Kenzie, Garrett and Mardi to my dear friend Jill’s’ moms house where she had come to watch the kids for me. The Manti temple is beautiful!! As we walked in Stuart sat as content as could be waiting near the dressing room for his bride. He was all grins. Linda’s 3 sisters were able to attend along with Grandma and Grandpa Hardy. There is such a beautiful peaceful feeling inside the temple. There were nearly 50 people in the sealing room. Many of us had to stand behind the chairs. I am grateful to have been in attendance. I went and picked up all the kids and brought them to the temple grounds so we could all be in the pictures. Next we headed to Richfield for the luncheon. It was very nice; the room got a little warm as there were nearly 100 people in attendance. Then it was off to Stuarts to get ready for the reception. They had it in his back yard. It was very beautiful. It was nice to see extended family and people we knew from when we lived in Richfield. We ended up leaving for home around 8:45 but it felt more like midnight. Everyone was tired from the eventful day.
