On January 17th Russ and I drove down to Portland to spend the night with Kristy's family.
Friday we got to go to the Portland temple & then Saturday we took the three oldest kids out for a
couple of hours to give Kristy and Wes some time to themselves.
Later that day we attended Jazlyn's dance recital (which is why we went down).
We've been to several over the years and its fun to see how much she has progressed.
Unfortunately we had to leave right after the recital to attend two wedding receptions back at home, but we're glad we made the effort to go.
Jazlyn is the cutest one in the group!!!
Last week Russ took an extra day off work and we went to Utah. Some of the fun things we did was go to breakfast with Grandma Larsen, my parents & Lindsey's family.
When I was in Nicaragua with Jared, Elder Anderson came to our Stake Conference. He told Russ he felt bad he didn't get to meet me and when we were in Salt Lake to stop by. Russ took him up on the offer. It was really nice to be able to have Jared, Lindsey, Tyrel & Tytyn accompany us. What a special experience for our family. He was very gracious to let me take some pictures.
Russ and Elder Anderson
After our meeting with Elder Anderson we went to Tucano's for a late lunch/early dinner.
Talk about tons of food….all of us were so full.

Jared and Russ loving all the meat!!
From Salt Lake we drove to Vernal and spent a few days with Lindsey's family. We picked up Jared from BYU after his classes on Friday and he got to go with us. We went to the Dinosaur museum which Tytyn loved. Jared had never been before and really enjoyed it also.
Tytyn is such a happy little boy.
Bet you've never seen a dinosaur with snow on it.
After the museum we drove 20 miles outside of Vernal where a big "dig" site is. This is a huge rock wall where there are many dinosaur bones still in it.

Sunday we got to go to church with them. Look at these four handsome guys!!
Here's a profile shot of Lindsey at five months. We can hardly wait!! They've decided not to find out what they're having.

In the past two weeks I've gotten to see all of my kids and grandkids, except for Jacob. What could be better than that???? I LOVE hanging out with them!!
By the way Jacob, Elder Larsen just got transferred to Monroe, which is just south of Richfield.
He is excited to be in a rural area again.
