Baptism Day

This young man is so excited. He has chosen to become baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  He has been waiting for this day for so long.  Now that he is officially ours he can be baptized.  We are so proud of him for his decision. 

Baptism

Today was such a special day.  Penny has decided to be baptized.  Her parents recently signed away their rights, so Penny was able to be baptized.  We are so proud of her decision.  Jon was able to baptize and confirm her.

Elder Christensen and Elder Allen taught her the discussions

Keven Naylor Family Reunion 2016

This year we had the Keven Naylor Family Reunion down in Bear Lake, ID.  It was so much fun.  Jon and I decided to leave a little early, and we went down to Salt Lake City, UT to visit old friends and I wanted to show Jon where I had gone to school and just have fun with our little family.

On Saturday July 9th, we went down to Temple Square to spend a little time looking around.  We had lunch and then met my cousin Mike Naylor and his family at the zoo.  We thought Rex would love the zoo, and he really did.  It was a very hot day, so we had to get hats to keep the sun off.  We didn't want to get too sunburned.  There was a point where there is this little play area that had water.  Rex had to go play in that.  He had so much fun.

After the zoo we went with Mike and Denise to The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner.  We had such a good time visiting.  It had been a long time since I had seen them, so it was fun to catch up.  Thanks for hanging out with us Mike!!!  We had a blast. ;)

Sunday we went to church with our friends, the Cutlers, who let us stay in their home during our weekend in Salt Lake.  It was nice to visit with them.  Dad decided to read to Rex before church.  I thought this was so cute.

That evening my old friend from college Audri Ence, invited us over for dinner and a visit.  It was fun to see how her family has grown.  We just talked and talked.  It was like we hadn't been apart.  It was so fun to see her.

On Monday we headed on up to Bear Lake to meet with family.  On our way we stopped in Logan.  We ate at such a good restaurant.  It was just this little place called the Blue Bird Cafe.  It was sooo good.   Rex was so hungry he couldn't wait.  So he ate some of Jon's soup, which was really good.

After lunch, we drove up to the Temple.  Jon had never been there and this was where my parents were married.  The temple wasn't open, but the gate was still open, so they let us walk around.  It was a nice break for Rex to get out of the car and rest.

It is such a beautiful building and was such a beautiful day.  We dreamed about being sealed together with Rex.

Great experience

I had the wonderful opportunity to be an escort for my friend who received her endowments in the Columbia River Temple.  Norma Saunders has become such a good friend to me.  It was such an honor for me to take her thru the temple.  She went thru on December 19, 2015.  I didn't get a picture of me with her, but this is a picture of her Parents, Norma & Brian Saunders.

Thank you Norma for such a wonderful experience.  

Family Discovery Day

I was on the Family Discovery Day committee this year.  I was surprised at how much fun it was.  We had such a great turnout and the decorations were awesome.  Our theme was Learn it, Live it, Love it.  We decorated like Old London. It really got me excited to do some kind of family history work. We had all kinds of displays and classes that talked about different ways to do family history.

We had this guy dress up like an ancestor and talk about a story that happened to the ancestor he dressed up as.

We had great food and help that made it so we didn't even have to worry about the food.

The opening of the New Family History center

I worked at one of the registration tables

Carol was our chairman.  She always does so great.

Different displays

I had people write stories and testimonies down that they had received from doing family history.
