Dustin's nephew Jared got married in the Brigham City temple. We drove to Logan and stayed with our friends the Hughes so we could go to their sealing Saturday morning. About and hour before we were supposed to be there Dustin remembered our temple recommends had expired 5 days earlier. We both felt sick that we were going to miss the sealing but even more so that we had let our recommends expire. We drove to their luncheon and wished them well.
So right before their luncheon Alissa was cruising around on a scooter at the Hughes and took off down a hill and couldn't stop. She said she flipped forward and landed in a bridge position backwards on her hands and feet. Thankful her dad was there to help her because I was about to pass out. Her whole chest and lips and elbows, knees and hands were scraped up. She wasn't really crying just yelling.
This is what her torn up shirt looked like.
We got her bandaged up and later that day went to the park. She managed to smile a little.
The other kids had fun.
We went to dinner with the Hughes and then headed for home. We feel so blessed to have these great friends who allow us to bring our whole crew and crash their house.
The next weekend we had all the Boise family come to town for the reception. We did a lunch at Leos to celebrate Amy's birthday.
We only stayed at the reception that night for a short time because Dustin had just got home from a scout campout/fundraiser.
It's always so much fun to be with cousins.
That night Bekah and McKenzie got to stay at our house and come to church with us. The girls were pretty darn excited about that.
It's such a blessing to have so many family members and to be so close to all of them. I most always come away feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude for such a blessing. I love them all and can't imagine life without them.
