June 2011 *warning, long post* :D

On my mom's side, we had the 1st Saxton Family Reunion. It was in St. George Utah. Kris, myself and the kids left Friday night and left Sunday. It was a quick weekend, and that is quite the drive, but it was still fun to see family that I have never met until now. Southern Utah is beautiful. I love it there. It is where I went to college, SUU, so it is home away from home. The family who put it together was Monte and Lisa Holm. Their house and ranch were AMAZING to say the least. It was such good weather too, so you couldn't beat that!!Most of the Saxton's that made it to the Reunion on the Holm Ranch.
Saturday June 4th, 2011 Some of the landscape... My mom holding Phoebee and Geoff standing by...Us about to leave and Declan not happy...he was having too much fun :) Phoebee and Liam, 2 month apart(Liam older)... we were leaving and had to take pictures of the cute kids :)

Then My sister in law, Brooke and baby Asher came to visit in the middle of June. My brother had to work, so it was his wife and son. We do not get to see them much. They moved to Palmyra, New York last August. So, when they finally do come this way, Wyoming/Utah, we all try to get together. Here are just some cute pictures of my kids, and my niece Phoebee and nephew Asher.Very hard to get all kids sitting and looking the same way :D ahhaha....

Phoebee, Liam, Asher, and Declan

Goober and his Dinosaur...Babies playing with toys...Us watching...
Me, Kylee, and MomMr. Gurgg-a-more..Brooke and Asher... Phoebee giving Liam a dirty look for some reason?? HAhaha...

Maybe wants some milk too??? :D

Love ALL of these little Munchkins to PIECES!!

Then on June 24th 2011, I was able to attend the Vernal Utah Temple. It was a very amazing day. My Grandpa George Lyman Ellsworth past away 2 years ago, May 19th 2009( Kris and My 3rd Wedding Anniversary). My Grandpa was pretty much non-active his whole life. My grandma later on in life went through the Temple by herself. In January, this year 2011, one of my Dad's brother, Robert, went through the Temple for Grandpa--then this day Grandpa and Grandma were sealed together for Eternity. Along with Grandpa being sealed to his parents. Then My grandparents to their Children who were able to attend.

There was the normal-wonderful calm peaceful feeling/spirit there in the Temple, but there was something new that I have never felt. I knew my Grandpa was there. I know he is happy where he is and is glad to see this day come as well. To see my family, the Ellsworth's, in the Temple and to spend time there was really great. I have not been to the Temple since Chase and Brooke got married in April 2009. It was due time, and I enjoyed every minute.I am truly grateful for the blessings of this Gospel, this Church, these Temples--that allow us all the keys and knowledge to return to our Heavenly Father. To strive to learn, to be better people. The world is getting worse day-by-day...and unfortunately it will continue to do so, but I have comfort because I have Faith and I have the Gospel. I know what is to come. I do not know how well I have done, but I know I can do more. That is my goal--to be a better Person, Mom, Wife, Daughter, Friend...Here are a few pictures I have of my Grandparents: Us and Grandpa George and Grandma Juanita at our Reception May 20th, 2006

At the Old Manila High School Gym...
I love this picture...so sweet. As you can see my Grandma has a wheel chair behind her. She's been in a wheel chair since 2005?? or maybe earlier?? They both got into a bad car accident, and both suffered injuries. My Grandma really can't walk well at all, and this was just really sweet to see Grandpa pick her up and do a hug/dance :)

Then Saturday, June 25th, I played in the Volleyball Tourney that is during Flaming Gorge Days here in Green River. I was on a great team, with great friends. It was hot, sunny, and tons of fun!! I love Volleyball, and I just had to play even though it was during the other family reunion on mine, The Robinson's. I was able to make it later on that evening for a few hours to see some family that was still in Manila. Here are some pictures:We were sponsored by ALLSTATE INSURANCE... we all had matching shirts, hats, water cups, bags... it was a good fun day!!!Liam getting used to the grass :D ahhaa...

Grandma Juanita and Phoebee...Me with Liam by the camp fire...

FINALLY THE LAST THING I'LL POST ABOUT JUNE

June 28th we went to the Circus that was in Rock Springs, WY. It was Declan's first Circus, as well as mine! It was pretty fun. Declan loved the Tigers...juggling...Elephants...Motorcycles... Pony Ride... it was just fun!

My brown-eyed boy with his ticket to ride the Elephant...

About to be put on the Elephant, but he stiffed up and got too scared because it was pretty high. Didn't end up riding it :/, so we went to ride the little ponies instead :)

See...he at least got on the ponies :D ahhaa..
