Happy Birthday, Camille!

 Our little Camille is now on her last year of teenager-hood! This blog post features her in her 10th grade year. Here she is at Clyn and Quincey's wedding back in 2023. The summer before her 10th grade year, her aunt Michelle and Mindy gave her some cornrows which she kept for a week or two before school started. First day of 10th grade! Dropping off Mindy at BYU-Idaho: Hiking to Red Lake in Payson Canyon: 16th birthday! Camille has loved Spiderman for a long time. The perk of being the only child left at home is you get all your parents' attention. That's also the downside to being the only child at home. Over fall break, we took Camille on a trip to Washington. We visited a pretty cool rain forest. Camille loved the dog in the little store we stopped at. Maybe someday Camille will get her own dog. We also visited the Seattle temple. Camille enjoys her nephews and nieces. Mindy came back from college for the winter.  Meanwhile, I required Camille to take ice skating lesso...

Going Standby to General Conference

Getting tickets to go to General Conference can be difficult, especially if you live in Utah. When Scott was in a bishopric about 2009, we got 4 tickets so I took up 3 of my older boys (the oldest son was gone on his mission.) I'm really glad we got to go but sadly I can't find the picture of that event. Then 7 or 8 years ago, Scott got 3 tickets and took 2 younger children. With the scarcity of tickets, we decided to try our luck at standby and invited Camille and 2 of our grandchildren to come with us. We picked up our grandchildren at noon on Saturday and headed for a taco place called ROC Taco in downtown SLC which our son had recommended. He works near the downtown area so he frequently eats lunch there. We got some yummy tacos (he recommended the GOAT and the Jimmy Churri tacos) plus Camille got her usual favorite of nachos and ate our lunch. Then when we were finished, we headed out to find a parking spot. We had no idea what we were doing. We picked this place that look...
