Yesterday Nicholas and I had an awesome day together. First I talked him into going to the Hannah Montana movie. I just couldn't stomach going to Return to Witch Mountain again. They talked in the movie about Hannah's mother dying. I asked Nicholas what he would do if I died. He said he would visit my grave everyday and then gave me a huge hug. It made my heart melt. Then we visited the Mills Mall. It is so fun that Nicholas enjoys Black Market Minerals as much as me. We then went to a late lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. This is one of our favorite places. Dale does not like to go there so it was a perfect time for us to go together. We ended the day at a baptism for a young man in our ward Matthew. The picture of us was taken in Vegas.

In front of the Manti Tempe. It was so beautiful.

This year we chose not to go to Canada for vacation. It will be the first year I have not gone to Canada in the 18 years we have been married. I am glad I was able to see my 2 sisters and mother in Utah. Mom and MaryAnn (my younger sister) with her family, drove down from Canada and we met at my sister Cathenia's house in Springville, Utah. While there we went to the Manti pageant and attended the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Nicholas very much enjoyed playing with his cousins. On the way home we chose to stay in Vegas for a couple of days. There we went swimming, bowling, ate at the buffet and went to the Aquarium. It was a fun couple of days. When we got home Dale had 4 days before he had to go back to work. We were able to go do some fun activities close to home which was really nice.
