St. George, Garden, and Soccer

I was fortunate enough to be able to be in St. George over the weekend to be with my sister and her family as they went to the temple to be sealed as an Eternal Family. I was so grateful I was able to be with them. It was a very special experience. The peace of the spirit was very strong in the sealing room. My heart is so full of joy for my sister and the choices she and her husband and kids are making to follow Jesus Christ.
Brady kept the two oldest kids home and I took Cali with me. We had a nice trip and got to see a lot of our family.

Azelin looked beautiful in her white dress. And Ethan was very handsome. But he didn't hold still long enough for me to get a pic of him:-)


Here is Cass with Grampa. He was able to perform the sealing for them. That is always special. I didn't get a pic of all of them together, but I am sure Cass did.

All the girls. We all got to go out for a fun dinner for Granny Ann's birthday. It was fun.

We are attempting a garden this year and I am praying all of our hard work will pay off. I dug out all of the grass in this section and then Brady helped me till it up and work in the new soil. We added about 760 lbs of new soil!!! So, I am hoping the soil is a good mix now. I bought an organic fertilizer and am I am going to try to do a garden here in Houston with no pesticides. I figure we have a bonus because we have no trees or shrubs in the back yard to attract little pests. Also, our neighborhood is new. So, I read on line that there are certain types of flowers and herbs you can plant with your veggies that will attract the good bugs and detract the bad ones from eating your veggies. So, I am going to give that a try and have Marigolds, Cosmos, Nasturtium, and Borage to plant in my vegetable garden.

My dad pointed out to me that our garden is shaped like Utah. LOL Did not do that on purpose. Maybe it will bring us luck somehow????

Wesley is really enjoying soccer. He has fun, and that is what matters. It has been fun to support him in this and watch him learn to play.

He is happy as long as his team is winning. At this point, it doesn't matter to him if he scores or not, so long as "The Destroyers" win
