Vest Family Reunion

We had an excellent weekend and even extended weekend with friends and family. Scott's family was in town for the annual Vest Family Reunion which has been held here in the St. George area for the past two years. Last year we went to the Dixie State College cabin because Wade was still working for Dixie at the time. Since Wade took a new job with Edward Jones the perks went away so we improvised and got rooms through Shane Wittwer at the Abbey Inn.

We planned some fun activities including Cinderella at Tuachan, water balloon shooting, pedicures for the girls, swimming and some crazy woofle ball in the backyard. Out of all the activities we engaged in it seemed like swimming at the pool ranked highest on the list. We sure had a great weekend and we always enjoy spending fun times with the family.

We are preparing for Delaney's big 8th birthday on Thursday, September 20th and are so excited for her to be baptized and confirmed. Delaney is such a fun girl to have in our family and she always gives us lots to laugh about. She and McKenzie are really into their piano lessons right now and practice almost every morning. It's fun to watch the girls learn new piano pieces especially when we recognize the songs.

Kent and Emily Cook and their girls were just in town visiting us before they head off to Switzerland. Kent took a promotion with HILTI to work in their Leadership Training division. We told them we would love to get over and see them hopefully next summer or fall. Scott and Kent played some golf yesterday and Emily, the girls and I hung out, talked, and shopped a bit.

Fall is here in St. George and it feels beautiful. It's a little bit crisp in the mornings on our runs but it feels really good. We're just over two weeks away from the marathon so the countdown has begun. I'm happy that we're finished with the long runs and tapering down to be prepared.

Peace, love and happiness!
