Another Trip to Utah

We accompanied Terri & Olivia home to Utah after having them with us for a couple of weeks for Terri's surgery. It was fun to spend the extra time with Livi, I mean "them"...thanks for sharing your girls Ben. We got to see the Ferg's home in Lehi when we took over a wedding present for Nick & Heather, and Ty came down from Rexburg while we were there. Leah & Rick had Keira's baby blessing that Sunday which allowed us to see lots of neices & nephews & their kids who came for the blessing. Since my camera is still somewhere in Brazil, Leah was kind enough to let me snap a few pix with her camera.

Saturday - Terri, Leah, & I got to go to the Women's Broadcast where we learned that the sisters of Relief Society are needed now more than ever - Sister Julie Beck said, "We rejoice in the knowledge that you are going about doing good, as the Savior did. You are doing a magnificent work. Yet we feel impressed to say that there is more to be done. We have sought inspiration from the Lord to know how to assist the priesthood in building up the kingdom of God on the earth. It is time for Relief Society to fulfill its purpose as never before."

Sunday was Keira's big day. She looked beautiful & Rick gave her a beautiful blessing. Later we all gathered at the Bassett's for a brunch & a little visit.

There was quite a crowd - Leah did get a total group picture but this is only the Brown, Garner, & Mid-Cart cousins. (L-R: Terri w/Livi & Ben; Unka Ty; Rochelle w/Carson; Aunt Linda hiding behind R, Becca w/Lydia & Ryan; Leah w/Keira & Rick; G'ma Jenny & G'pa Paul; Tyler w/Cameron, Abby & Vanessa; Chad & Cara; Thayne & MaryAnne w/Cache.) It was fun to see everyone & catch up a little bit.

Monday we took a scenic drive up the canyon along the Alpine Loop & stopped for a "foil dinner lunch" with the Bassetts. Rick picked a great little picnic area to stop at near a little creek.

Rick did all the work; he cut up the veggies, seasoned the meat, wrapped them in foil, built the fire...

& hmmmmmmmm....delicious!

The fall colors are already turning - the scenery was gorgeous & the company was even better!

Thanks for a great weekend Leah & Rick - we had a terrific time! Oh, & thanks for sharing your camera, too!
