Called to Serve!!


Wow General Conference weekend seems like it was so long ago... but here's my quick recap of it. So Clark, Emily, Grace, Ashlyn, and I flew home for conference weekend. Mostly because Emily was opening her mission call. AHHHHHH! I can't believe she has her call already... But she's been dying to go on a mission since she was 14, so she was more than anxious to open her call. And the poor girl had to wait a WEEK and A HALF before she could open her call at home with the family. Clark was in charge of keeping her mission call safe between it arriving, and the big mission call opening party....

^So happy to have it. So mad she has to wait to open it!^ 

^She was not excited to hand it over^

^Oh yeah... this was during Clark's mustache phase....^ 

So we were all VERY VERY excited to fly home to California (hello good weather) and to open her call! Check out the pictures of the rest of her mission call opening and our amazing conference weekend.


^We felt pretty cool, like we were getting on a private jet or something^




^Future missionaries!^




^Where in the world is she going?!^

^Mom with her darling hard work!^



^Lots of fun guesses!^



^AH! She's opening her call!^

^This is just too Emily to not include^

^"You are hereby called to labor in the Texas Houston South Mission.... Spanish Speaking! She reports to the MEXICO MTC on July 16th - the day after she turns 19!!^

^TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (haha look at Andrew covering his ears)^






^So proud of our little Texan!^

^Congratulations  on your mission call Emy!!^

The rest of our weekend pretty much consisted of watching General Conference (amazing - I think my favorite was Neal L. Andersen's ), eating lots of yummy food, Brie cutting her foot open (ouch!), going on nature walks around Folsom, seeing Captain America (awesome), and just having fun as a family! Check it out! 

^Andrew won the best bed-head^

^Seriously, Folsom is crazy beautiful right now!^






^Big family dinners - YUM!^


^All watching to see if Clark can clear the parking lot poles....^

^Mad hops!^

^I love my temple^

Thanks for the great weekend Folsom! We can't wait to go back :)
