hThis last weekend I took a very last minute, quick trip to Utah with my brother Kevin, sister Jenny & Aadynn, & Kami & Kensely. I need to tell you about it in two parts.
PART I:
The Drive
The ride down was wonderful and quick (11 hrs.) I got sick about the time we hit Utah. My girls got sick in the early morning. We just kind of rested all that day. Saturday night my sister, sister-in-law, nephew & neice all got sick. We refer to it as the Barf-Fest. Sorry, but it was bad, I won't even go into. Deb...here is your semi-public award for having some of the worst vomit clean-up stories that I have ever heard and or witnessed. Amazing. Luckily we made it home with out any thing coming back up, on the car ride home -if you know what I mean.- However, the bug didn't stop there, another niece of mine got it (I'm so sorry Erica!) & Trishelle's baby Evie. (again...real sorry) But it was so good to see my brother and his family again. You guys are awesome! And I got to see Trishelle for too short of a time. But it was fun and wonderful and too short!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Part II:
The reason for the trip
We went down for my Dads baptism. I cannot find the words to describe how strong the spirit was that day. It was incredible. There was a small group of us, mostly family. It was very clear to me just how much we all need the atonement, and that the atonement is for everyone. I am so pleased/proud of my Dad who traveled a hard road and never questioned his testimony. What a good example you are to me and my family. Thanks Dad! I love you!!

Kensley's pictures with jello (?) are hysterical. It looks like she enjoyed every last wobbly morsel.
Congratulations to your family on such a wonderful event. I am reminded the more of you guys I get to know just how amazing your family is. We are so happy for you and touched by how dedicated and supportive you are to each other...love you guys!!
Kirstin, you are so great! I just read your comment and my blog. PLEASE, please don't feel bad about Evie being sick. As a matter of fact, the same day Evie was sick, her cousins were too...and we hadn't seen them since a few hours before we saw you...so really she could have picked up the bug anywhere. Plus I promise you none of us are even upset or worried about it.
Besides, if she hadn't gotten sick that night, we wouldn't have been able to have a good laugh about it nor would I have had the inspiration for my blog entry...so you see, it's all good. :)
I am so happy for you and your dad. I can't wait to talk to you and hear all about your trip minus the vomit stories.:)
The sickness didn't stop there... but it was so GREAT to have you guys out here! I know we haven't been out here that long, but it feels like much longer when you don't have the option to just "drive across town" for a visit.
