al's mission buddies come to visit

     During the craziest weekend of the summer some of Alex's mission friends came down to stay with us. Of course we loved having them and we were so glad they drove down to see us! We miss them since they live soo far away. Sam and Lindsey Pulliam drove down from Idaho and on their way they picked up Drew Smith and Joshua Balleck up in Provo. Drew isn't Elder Smith's real name though, his real name is Joseph Smith, I couldn't believe it. We were sad Clark and Alyssa couldn't come down though we miss them! During their stay in sunny St. George we....

went to the lake....

The crew!

One of the tires on the boat trailer blew one exit before we were supposed to get off dang it! Luckily these boys knew just what to do... except Elder Balleck ha! He chose to observe instead. 

     They were also really good sports when my sisters opened their mission calls. They all came and hung out for a while, then we went to Benja's where I seriously couldn't stop crying ha they were embarrassed by me. Followed by custard and Nielsons. YUM.

     The next day we went to breakfast with the crew + Elder Adam Bangerter at Black Bear diner. I love breakfast! 

     We were all pretty exhausted by then so we came back to our house and talked for a few hours. Then Alex and I packed as quick as we could, said our goodbye's and headed off to Lake Powell...

      Thanks for coming to visit us, we miss you guys already!!
