Elder Brad Skalla's Farewell

Going to the Temple….

In preparation for his mission, our 2nd grandson went to the Draper Temple on May 10, 2011.   Julie had her 3 oldest children there and I had 3 of my 4 children there.  My oldest 4 grandchildren have been to the temple and set a great example for their younger cousins.  I am so proud of them!

Thanksgiving Fun

Twenty of the Twenty six of us were together for Thanksgiving in Utah this year.  We missed J.D.'s family who spent Thanksgiving in Arizona.  We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for!

Julie brought home Egyption head pieces from Egypt.  Makes for fun dress up!
