Grandma Szabo

I have nothing but the fondest memories

 of my Grandma Szabo.

 Growing up, sleep overs at Grandma's house were the best.

 Unlimited chicken nuggets from McDonalds, 

hours of playing with her Chevron cars, 

and boxes and boxes of cereal

 to choose from for breakfast. 

My Grandma is a strong but loving woman. 

She is spunky and can carry on a conversation with anyone. 

My Grandma as a young mother, let the missionaries in

 and ever since has been a faithful member of the church. 

Because of her generations of our family have had

 the privilege of growing up in the church.  

Recently my Grandma has gotten really sick 

so me and Jamie have been spending a lot of time with her 

and it has been such a blessing! 

A couple of days before she flew to California to recover

 with Uncle Dan and Aunt Mary 

we got to take her to the temple open house. 

She had attended stake conference 

in the tabernacle for years

 before it burned down so she was very excited to 

see the completed temple. 

She was in awe the entire time and was so 

grateful for the opportunity to be there. 

My grandma has SO many pictures. 

When we were moving her out of her house I found these gems...

Grandma and Gregg

Dan, Gregg, Scott, & Lisa

Baby Scott!

Before she left for the airpot...

Temple #3

We both had major flash backs to

the MTC as we went to the Provo Temple! 

It was fun seeing a bunch of missionaries

there and thinking back to our MTC days. 

The Provo Utah Temple was the sixth temple built in Utah,

and the first built in Utah County. 

The Provo Utah Temple is often dubbed 

"one of the busiest temples in the church"

The original design for the Provo Utah Temple 

included an angel Moroni atop a gold-colored spire 

but the statue was eventually eliminated from the design. 

In 2003, as part of an exterior renovation in 2003, 

an angel Moroni statue was added atop a white spire. 

Provo City Center Open House

Kylie got the entire family tickets to the 

Provo City Center Temple open house.

It is such a beautiful temple but it was

 so much smaller than I thought it would be.

It was a neat experience to be in

 the temple with the entire family

and it will be even better when Drew gets home! 

Temple #2

We made a goal to attend every temple in Utah

before we move to Colorado for the summer! 

Our plan was to do a session at the 

Oquirrh Mountain temple

but we found out the hard way that 

it is closed for cleaning.

Thankfully the Jordan River temple 

is close and we were able to catch the next session. 

It was meant to be because the Jordan River 

is closing in February for two years 

as it will undergoing extensive renovations. 

Fun facts about the Jordan River Temple:

It was the 7th temple built in Utah

It is the highest capacity temple in the church,

with six ordinance rooms each seating 125 patrons

It is one of 5 temples featuring the angel

 Moroni statue holding the gold plates

January 20th!

It has been one whole year since we got engaged! 

We hiked up the very snowy mountain

to our spot, where Trayco proposed, in 

honor of our special day! 

2015 

2016

The view of the Draper temple, that no

picture can do justice...

Since we were in Hawaii on the year mark of

our first date, we went to 

Cafe Rio(where we ate on our first day) 

for dinner to celebrate!

This is Trayco at the Dermatologist's office.

 This all started 4 years ago when Trayco

got chemicals on the back of his neck

while working with asphalt.

Ever since he has had a big cyst on the back 

of his neck so his loving wife made him

go to the doctor (which he dislikes with a passion)

The dermatologist cut right into his neck and cut

it out and Trayco got his very first stitches. 

Sometimes your cousin's appendix dies 

and you get to spend a few days at her house 

while she recovers from surgery!

Highlights of the week included:

Trayco coming up for a surprise visit

Some intense Mario Kart matches

Trayco seeing Honey I Shrunk the Kids for the first time 

Getting stuck in the snow while trying to return dishes

Sherlock marathon and Olive Garden take-out

Amy and I twining the most
 comfortable shirt in the world! 

Thanks for the fun week Amy! 

Lets not wait for the next surgery to get together :)
