Pengelly family visit

Happy Bithday Brent and Olivia!!!!
(look at Selina's face... he he)

I think Cory must have gone to the Distribution center at least 15 times while he was here, If they didn't have one where I lived I would probably do the same. He got Cora and Eva their own mini scriptures, the small military ones, and even got their names put on them. Cora opened them open them up and 'read' Jesus this and Jesus that. She already understands that the scriptures, really, are all about Jesus.
The girls love their Uncle Brent, especially when he played horsie with them. Brent would walk really slow then all of a sudden go a robotic super speed, the girls were laughing so hard.



Tramp time with Eva!


Cora being a stinker and playing with the snow. The first day they were here it was beautiful the second day we got a foot of snow (it was very tragic since Selina HATES the snow and was hoping to escape it).. this picture is two days later. Cora thought it would be really fun to pick up the slush and throw it then jump in it.


I absolutely ADORE their sweet faces in this picture!! They are so opposite looking. Selina asked "Cora, are you from the milk man?" and Cora said "yes".

The main reason Selina and everyone came out was because her good friend Syd was getting sealed to her third adopted child. The sealing was so beautiful. I could see the powerful love that Syd and Dave had for all their sweet children. The tenderness and joy I saw in their eyes was so beautiful. I could see that they felt the sweet joy of their forever family. Unfortunately I have no pictures to show for it...because I, of course, forgot my camera! But what an amazing experience. Thank you Syd, for inviting me to be a part of that.


The last night they were in Utah we stayed at Brent's parents (a little less crowded then our two bedroom apartment). This is Eva with a portion of little Mikey's, now 19 year old Mikey's, beanie baby collection. Eva gave names to them and had to individually say goodbye to them when she left.
Selina of course had matching pajamas for them every night.
SELINA: You, Cory and the Girls MUST move closer... got it??!!!
