My sister Marla had health problems and was air lifted to the University of Utah Medical Center. It was great to see her family even under dire circumstances.
Mindy, Kris, Shaundell, Jason, Trevor, Clay, Ty, Jennifer and Cody.

Bill and Dee Lugo from Chico visited and stayed with us for a week. They had a great time exploring Salt Lake City. When Elder Millet and I went to California before we were married Elder Millet stayed with them - since we both could not stay at his big, two-story house. Every night Dee would call and say, "Brother Millet it's time to come home."

We were working and the phone rang. Sister Estes said, "The Parkers are here to see you." It was delightful to visit with Myrna and Bob from Bellingham.

Aleisha made a short trip to California with her friend and stopped in for a kiss and a hug.

Kelly and Curtis came and visited for a few days. It was great to see them. Curtis just returned from his mission in the Philippines. He was able to play the Tabernacle Organ. What a thrill. Kelly recorded it on his phone but I cannot upload the performance to the blog. Sorry.

We spent the day doing sealing in the Logan Temple with James, Alenda, Marie and Jolley. We did a record of 127 names and "wore out" 5 sealers. We will now start over as Samuel turned 12 and needed names for baptisms. This is great work and noone fainted.

We met Marla and Tom Jones again at Music and the Spoken Word. They are service missionaries at the Bishop's Storehouse in Mt. Vernon, Washington and have just signed up for another 2 years.

Our annual Cousins Reunion was held at Maddox in Brigham City. It is wonderful to get together even for a short time and a great meal. Maxine, Kathy, Aunt Gae, Uncle Lenness, Holly, Jean, Joyce, Anna. Marie, Louise, Michelle, Ann.

Wow! Time flies when you are having fun. This is a favorite spot for brides. In older times statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith stood here. We walked around the temple - close up. What a massive building. We enjoy telling visitors about the symbols on the temple. The pioneers were very wise they carved everything we learn in the temple on the outside.
