Uncle Cliff always take the missionaries to lunch at IN-N-OUT before dropping them off at the Provo MTC.  Every one of his nephews (and nieces will come), but also other family and friends have experienced this send off ritual with Cliff.  It is a symbol of being ready to serve in our famiy.

Matthew: “No, guys, time travel will work because time is REAL.”

Happy Independence Day!

All-Girls trip to St. George.  All the Irving sisters, sisters-in-law, Grandma, and all the nieces were invited to join together for some sunshine fun.

We all went to an outdoor show, "Annie."

It was the hottest day of the year!  The girls did a great job surviving the evening heat.

The pool was cool

All the girls!

There were crafts galore at the house we rented.

Good bye loves for everyone!
