Family Pictures

We have taken family pictures on Escadilla every year when the leaves turn since I can remember. This year was bitter sweet, we took them a little earlier than we usually do because Kellin was leaving Oct 1 and this will be the last picture with our whole family until he gets home. It was really bright outside so they didn't turn out that great but I'm glad to have them!

Taking Kellin to the MTC

My family went to Provo on Monday to take Kellin to the MTC. It is a LONG drive, especially with two bratty girls. We took two cars my mom, dad and Kellin in one car and me, Tessa, Tae and Adi in the other! Ya we got the shaft! Anyway on Tuesday we went and walked around Temple Square and took a tour of the Conference Building and watched the movie Legacy in the visitors center. The Salt Lake Temple and all the buildings around it are absolutely beautiful! Then on Wednesday Kell had to be to the MTC at one so we went to breakfast and me and Tessa decided that it would be easier for Kellin to say bye to us at the motel, it didn't really matter where the goodbye took place it was still hard! I think that walking around the temple and watching Legacy really helped us feel better about leaving him. I am so proud of him and he is going to be such a good missionary! I can't wait for him to get to Naga to start getting letters from him! It was really hard but a truly amazing experience!
