Colorado Springs Here comes Sister Bjarnason!

Ally came home from college on the 20th then had 4 impacted teeth removed. After recovering from Dry socket and the flu... The big event of that week was our trip to the temple which was awesome, We are so glad that Sarah ,Clarke,Stephanie , Leon and Kathy, Karen and Porter and Jim were able to be with us,



             Just before entering the temple we were able to get this shot of the lights. This was so amazingly beautiful. The glow was emanating and beckoning us to come in.

The temple was magnificent and we were able to take a few shots in the dark that really showed how beautiful the lights are.



It had been raining and cold as you can read in Ally's expression but its a great picture of her right before we went in. Love the palm trees and the flowing water. This was taken before we went in. We had just purchased garments.

  Judy Payne and Trudy Gleason have been dear friends for 30 years and have been a part of our lives and Ally's since birth! So glad they could come!
 This is all the family that came to our special evening. Sarah drove from Mad era....3 hours away, Clarke drove from an hour away, Karen, Porter and Jinn drove 1 and 1/2 hours , Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Leon and Aunt Kathy made the evening great. Thank you all for coming. Jared and I are there ... I am hiding behind him. We had such a wonderful night! I love my family.Wish all of you could have been there with us.
 We had family dinners, games , play time and just talking. It was fun and filled with lots of memories and love.. Sarah is listening to Ally's talk here so she can get it right for Sunday. Love the new cut. She cut off 11 inches of her hair.. Looks great!
 Ron and Stephie brought Pizza and salad to the house and we had a great dinner and game night as Jon and Jennifer were here for a visit. We love them so much,They have been a part of our family for 21 years!!! This is the three big guys.... Taylor, Andrew and Mckay!

               Sarah, Ally, Me, Jared and Clarke after the session. Love my family!!!!






                      Ashley bonded with Hannah who is almost 1....so cute!




              Beautiful sisters! Thanks for being my sweet daughters! I love you both so much!!!
 Getting ready for church and having a few minutes to get out some of grandmas toys. FUN!
 The grand kids can never come to the house without an adventure on our water bed.Also at Christmas time grandpa loves to watch the NUTCRACKER and they all followed and enjoyed watching it.All 9 of them. What a great group!
 This is one of my favorite photos I was able to capture. These two look so much like sisters and we had such a great week before Ally left.... shopping, movies, dinners, games, church and a beautiful song they sang! These are my two babies....all grown up!
 Took this right before we left for the airport. Ally looks so excited and she was so ready to go.
Saying goodbye as she went through the security and we had to say goodbye! Doesn't she look ready! Go Ally! Our prayers are with you. You will do an awesome job. We all love you so much!
