Just Half

This is about half of my extended Barlow family.  My grandparents, E. Garrett Barlow and Evva Burnham, had 7 children.  Five of them are seated.  And then these five siblings had their children and grandchildren standing next to and behind them.  It was quite the party.  Jason called the Barlows a "rowdy bunch"!  Ha ha.  What a blast we had all getting together on the 4th of July.

Temple Square

Fantastic!

Beautiful Temple

Utah is so beautiful with its temples and general splendor.

And trampoline-ing with the boys was a blast.  We're having so much fun here.  It's a great place to be, even if it's been 103 degrees.

Manti Pageant

My sister and I rented a home in Utah for a few weeks and one thing we just had to do -- we attended the Manti Pageant!  The best thing ever!  I had gone when I was a little kid, probably 25 years ago, no joke, and had not remembered much of anything.  So my cute sister Amy and I took our five kids, collectively, and headed to the beautiful Manti temple for the evening.  I will never forget it.  We had such a fun time.

 

 

We arrived right at 6:00, right when the gates open, and had front row seats!  We lucked out.  We ate so much food, ice cream, and slushies.  We got home at 1:30 a.m.  Ha!  It was worth it. 

Father's Day

I feel so lucky to be married to this guy and have these darling children together with him.  Jason's a great dad.  He's seriously the best around.  Hard-working.  Dedicated.  Loving.  Fun.  Righteous.  Tender.  All of the above.
