All The Love In The World

So right when I got to Arizona I booked a flight home for General Conference weekend, upon arrival this was taped to the door. I know, I know, can't you just feel the love... I did!! I even got a little teary eyed.

So I went home because...

# 1. I missed my family.

#2. My Big Sister and Brother in Law were running the St. George Marathon.

#3. My Littlest Sister had a baby.

#4. It was General Conference

#5. Because it's where I feel all the love in the world.

I told all my nieces and nephews that we could make signs together to hold up at the race. However we had a long day and never got around to doing it together; so late Friday night my mom and I ran to the store to get poster board. When we got back my mom, my bro. Matt and myself made some signs. I must say we came up with some pretty amazing posters!! It might have been the marker fumes, mixed with the late hour. Although all the posters were amazing, the poster in the far right corner got the biggest reaction from the runners. We received high fives, laughs, shouts, scowls, and so much more. Most of my family are Cougar fans minus myself & older brother Justin (Utes) but they can at least admit when their team isn't playing well.




Here are the runners...

I mean look at that reaction! It was such a great experience being around the runners and the marathon. When you see family running something happens, at least it did to me, I got all sorts of choked up & wanted nothing more for them but success and happiness. My family was staked out at mile 24 along the side of the road. After Amber and Dean passed we rushed for our cars to see if we could make it to the finish line in time to see them cross.

We made it and this is what we captured (if you can't tell they are holding hands). I was already emotional, but when I saw this...well forget about it!! This is what it's all about! Being a wife or a husband that finishes together, supports each other, and want what's best for each other. Someone who will push you to be your best self!

I'm so Proud of the 2 of you

Thanks Dean and Amber for your great example. I enjoyed spending the weekend with you & your family.

So I officially have 10 nieces and nephews Tynlee Mae Graff is the newest addition to our family. I was so excited to finally get to see her in person. She would video chat with me every once and awhile on google chat, but she's way better in person. Tynlee is such a good baby, and tiny! I can't believe how little she is. I enjoyed getting to see my little sister be a mother, she does an amazing job! Congrats Lisa & Dev's you are amazing parents. I look up to you both!

Tynlee Loves the Bath

I think that she just might love her Aunt Stephy too

Here are some other highlights from the trip...

Shaylee & Addison are always up for castle building:)

Playing in the rain

On one of the nights that is was raining we did S'mores outside on the patio and listened to the rain. Good times!

Addison really enjoyed her's. Can you tell?

Thank you family for constantly teaching me what is really important in life. I enjoy every min. I get to spend with you!
