Crossing Off Items From "The To Do" List

I went shopping with this kid to pick up a few odds and ends for his mission.  We got his luggage and a passport holder tonight!
We headed over to Wal-Mart to buy an ink cartridge so we could print the labels for his mission announcements.
We came home and got busy addressing and stuffing envelopes.
One more thing we can cross off our "mission to do" list.

Mission Photos

We had Hayden's mission photos taken today out at Saltair.  
They turned out so great!

A Good Day To Have A Good Day

It was Hayden's day to receive his endowment.  He chose to go the Manti Temple!  I was so excited about his decision because this is my all-time favorite temple!
We had a lot of support from friends and family today!
It was pure joy!
I love being in the temple with my kids!
And I especially loved that my Dad was able to be there!
4 out of 5 of my siblings were there to share this special day with Hayden!
In 31 short days, Hayden will be off on his mission. The people of Peru will be lucky to have Hayden serving them and Hayden is lucky to have this opportunity to do so!
Jason and Hayden
We are so very proud of this kid!
Me and Hayden
I'm going to miss him so much!  
Dad with Hayden
Two of my Mom's sisters were there - Barbara and Lisa
We felt fortunate that Josh Sandberg was able to attend.  He was Hayden's Young Men's President while growing up.  He now serves in the bishopric with Jason.
Hayden is so excited about his mission!
I miss him already!  
It's so hard to send off a missionary, but it is also so worth it!
We were getting ready to take this picture of all of my sisters with Mom's sisters.  A butterfly fluttered through as we were about to take it.  More love from Mom.  I know she was not there physically, but she was, in fact there spiritually!  
I was really missing my Mom today.  I struggled seeing my Dad alone without my Mom today in the temple.
It was a very special day . . . a day I will always remember!  Thanks to everyone that shared Hayden's special day with us!
We went to eat at Los Amigos in Ephraim after. 
It was so yummy!
