Girls weekend!

The first weekend in December Jeneil, and I drove down to Touqerville, Utah for some much needed R and R!
The trip down was smooth and uneventful, no snow or bad roads. Jeneil worked so that when we arrived at our destination she wouldn't have to worry about work.
We rolled into Touqerville around 9pm and as we pulled up the Thora's house, Thora, Thad, and the kids were just getting home. Great Timing!
We chatted with the kids for a bit and Tali and Jordan were kind enough to give us their beds so they were sleeping on the couch and a mates in the front room. They were happy as clams to give us their room, I was grateful for that. The 3 of us laughed and talked for a bit and then headed to bed.
The next day Third had to take a test  so we went to breakfast at Village Inn and then dropped her at the testing building. She had to take 2 test but said she would be no more than an hour.
Jeniel and I ran to Ross in search of cotton socks. Third was Lockett split fast with her test. And we are all back together quickly. We wanted to do a session in the temple (I have been to the St. George temple 3 times, but never have been able to do a session) the session was amazing!
I felt the spirit so strongly. I took a family name through and the veil was very thin. Whenever I go through the temple I am reminded of who I am and who I was before I came to earth. It was an amazing experience.
And of course no mini vacation would be complete without a little shopping trip. We also went and did some Christmas shopping, which is so much easier when your kids aren't whispering (or screaming) at you in the back ground.
Thora was able to get a good chunk of her Christmas list knocked out. And she made us this really really yummy Asian dinner. I don't remember what it was called, goo goo mush musha? Not even close! But still yummy.
For one of Thora's class assignments she had to watch a movie called Contagion. It is a movie that is much like Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman as far as a disease outbreak but, all I can say is, it is a good thing I'm not a germ-o-phobe.
It was such a fun weekend.
Jeneil and I stayed for the sacrament on Sunday morning and them headed home. We made good time. We pulled into my driveway at about 3:30...
A weekend I will not soon forget!

PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! Because there were so many people in town for Kyah's Baptism. We decided that Our church house was the solution to this problem. Luckily Aaron thought ahead and had the Gym and Kitchen booked Like 3 weeks in advance. ( thanks Honey ) All of our family that came for the event were ther and so were some of our closest friends. The only one I didn't get a picture of were Katie and Joel because they had to leave early. One of the best things about our families is that the In-Laws get along great! In fact they were chatting it up the entire time they were together. Aaron was so worried that we wouldn't have enough food to feed everyone, He practically obsessed over it , but when it was all said and done. there was SOOO much left over food that we were begging people to take some home with them! This was a wonderful reason for a family gathering and I am so glad that i have a bright special Young girl that has chosen to take the first step ...

Athena Winter Farnsworth made her debut on Friday September 5, at 2:44 pm. We couldnt be more ecstatic. Kyah did really well. She was induced, she went to the hospital at 6:15 and even before starting patossin, she was dilated to a 3 and contracting.  She asked me to come with she and John to help support her through her labor. I was more than happy to go. I was ready for the long haul, because i was in labor with her for almost 18 hours. But she progressed so steadily. She was at a 5 busy 12, and by 2 was pushing.  She did so great. She was a trooper through it all. It was such a special experience to be able to document the day for them.  She of course has my nose 🥳... the genes are strong for that one. Aaron and I are just elated  to be a grammy and grumpa again!  She is home now and we are all smitten with her. We are very blessed to have those little one join our family. Congrats Kyah and John!  ...

AND THE VERDICT IS... A mix of # 4 and # 5. I went to the hair stylist and hacked off 12 inches of beautiful hair today. When she did it I almost got light-headed. It is very different, When I walked through the door, the first thing Aaron said to me was ... " I DON'T LIKE IT ! " Well I knew that he would react this way because he LOVES long hair. I LO VE it though and it took about 5 minutes to style( which is a far cry from long hair that you have to blow-dry, straighten and then keep out of your face all day) I am very excited about this new look . I told Aaron , Just look at it this way... Look at all the money I am saving us on shampoo and extra water for the time it took me in the shower.... He didn't appreciate my humor. Oh well. ;O)
