All six of my children, plus Lizzy, Sammie and Benji (Sammie’s youngest brother) on top of Timp.

Saturday, July 25th— I’m helping Ben choose an engagement ring and crying with Sammie’s parents while she tries on wedding dresses. In between last Saturday and this one Hans had his farewell, we all went to the temple together, Hans was set apart, Ben and Sammie announced their engagement, we took Hans to the MTC, Ale and Claire held a reception in Utah….
