Trip to Utah

Tyler grandma who was one of the nicest ladies I have ever meet passed away, so we got to take a trip to Utah! She was sick and the whole family was glad that she did not have to suffer for a long time. This funeral made me really really grateful for the plan of salvation and for belonging to the true church. She was a great lady and you could tell how much she was loved and I am grateful to be part of that family. I am glad that she was finally united with her husband and family that has gone on before her. We were grateful for the opportunity to see all of Tyler's family. We don't get to see his brothers and sister very often. All the kids loved playing with each other and boy are there a lot of girls. 5 girls all under 2 and of course 2 boys who are older, who had a great time playing football with Tyler and his brothers.
We also the the chance to visit Tyler's good friend, who he served the same mission as, and his family. They are some of great friends and we wish we lived closer to them so we could hang out more often!! They have some really cute kids and Ashley loved hanging out with their little girl a lot. We needed more time so we could stay and play for a week, that would be nice.
We decided to not drive the 12 hours back in one night like we did on the way up, so we stopped and stayed in Las Vegas. Tyler's brother Jason has never been so we had a good time walking about and see all the light. Tyler and Jason even rode the ride at the Stratosphere. All in all it was a great weekend and we were glad that we got to go. Below are pictures taken while in Vegas and of the new bridge over the Hoover dam but others we forgot the camera so I will post if we get copies from anyone!
