March has been hot literally

 Oh March...such madness! 

Thanks to the Bair's, the boys got to go to the Jazz vs Nuggets basketball game. 

Grant got his mission call to serve in the New Jersey, Morristown mission, Spanish speaking. Leaves in July. 




Busy finishing up junior year. 


Travis and I flew to Utah for a few days and then Travis stayed a few extra in March. 

My favorite mountain in Ogden

My favorite Cache Valley

So, on March 8th, Ethan decided to get his patriarchal blessing. We were fortunate enough to fly out and witness the blessing. What an exciting six months of gospel learning. Many spiritual conversations with friends, and with Travis and his testimony grew. I blame Ian and Grant for being such great friends and examples and I blame Ethan for listening and praying and doing the work to learn and decide for himself about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 




Patriarch Weston and his wife. 
The blessing was so special and personal. Heavenly Father loves Ethan and has a great plan for him. He is aware of his talents and strengths and weaknesses. I can't wait to see where the future takes him. It was special because we both felt the presence of Grandma Mary. What a blessing to be in Utah with Ethan for this monumental experience. 


Got to spend some time with the sweet daughter 


These three had a few calm but nice days together in SLC. 



Just can't get enough of her! 

They drove past Grandma Mary's house. Ah the memories. 

Spent some time with Diana at her house 

Some more great photos from the kids. 

Ari and Alex went bowling! 



Watching basketball playoffs on the Quad

We had a stake youth activity and took this photo. 

Love them 

Love the Holland crew too.
