BEST SUNDAY EVER. Grandma and Grandpa Cornell and Natalie flew out to be with us for the weekend. Carlie, Dan, Gwen, and Cy were there (When we were babysitting the kids last weekend, Mave threw up at church, and she was too embarrassed to come back. Poor thing) Along with countless friends and church leaders…
After we got Josh moved out of the dorms, we hit up the BYU bookstore to get all the stuff he would need for the temple. But they didn’t have any pants in his size. So, we then went to the Orem Desert Book. Also no luck. The next day we hit up the AF…
Rusty was trying to decide if he should drive home on Labor Day, or if he should stick around another day in case Josh’s mission call came on Tuesday.

The crazy weather continues. Halle and Josh’s Come Follow Me lesson. The Cupstoration. It was adorable. 3rd of July fireworks in Vista Ridge. We invited the Bohns over to BBQ with us and watch the show. It’s a horrible picture, but a GREAT night. This year we got Torpedo snappers instead of just the regular…
Halle and I flew to Utah for Jack’s Baptism. It was such a fun weekend and I’m so glad we got to be there. Jack is so funny. He was up on the stand for a little bit and was just pulling faces to the audience the entire time. We were all laughing pretty hard….
