Mum and Olivia come to visit, a 50th birthday party, Kimmy’s 26th birthday and much more!




We were so excited to have Mum and Olivia to come and spend a couple of weeks with us, they arrived on Tuesday 21st September after flying to Paris before flying direct to Salt Lake City. It would appear to be a good route as they were able to fly from Birmingham which is just 40 minutes from their home and they arrived mid afternoon.

  Mum was tired and her legs and feet and had really swollen but after a couple of days of rest she was pretty good. Mum was so happy to see Aaron, Kimmy, Josh and Rachael the day arrive they arrived as they were able to come over for dinner. Mum hadn’t seen Josh for 2 years and had never seen Rachael.

Friday 24th Jess, Ben, Jack and Lucas arrived, Mum hadn’t seen Jack since he was a year and again hadn’t seen Lucas. That night we had a belated birthday party for my 50th (just a month later) and were so excited to see some friends that we hadn’t seen for some time, many who knew Aaron, Jess and Steve’s Mum.

          Aaron and Jess, can that lad ever be serious?

Saturday 25th we had a family photo shoot in Lehi near Aaron and Kimmy’s home, which was a lot of fun and we got some great photos with Mum. Beth also went of her first home coming dance with a young man named Joey Jenson.

We tried to pack as much in as we could without exhausting Mum before they left for home on Friday the 8th of October. We visited Temple square, welfare square, this is the place, 2 temples and Olivia even got to go to school with Beth. We were very sad to see them go :-(
