Quick Trip Weekend

We were able to make a quick trip down to Summit this weekend. Two of my cousins blessed their babies today. My cousin Sarah and her husband Bryson blessed baby Isabell. She is absolutely adorable! My cousin Jordan blessed her baby boy who was named after my Grandpa, DeeEl. He has the prettiest blue eyes a baby could have! Both babies were very well behaved in church. Haha! It was just an over-nighter, quick trip, but it was really nice. It was good to see our family. And the best part of this trip was that we brought Grandma back to Salt Lake with us for the week! It should be a fun week for her as she will be going out with all of her sisters that live up here, going to a Jazz game with our dad, dinners and many other activities with us. We are glad to have her with us for the week.

While we were in Summit, we were able to make a stop at the cemetery. Grandpa's gravestone is now in place and it looks magnificant! Grandma takes really good care of Grandpa's grave. She loves him so much, as do all of us. It is still so strange to visit Summit and not have Grandpa there. But I'm so happy to know that he is in an amazing place right now. And I'm so happy to know that he is watching over our Stapley clan.

Below is a picture I took by the Summit cemetery, looking at the Summit mountains. It was so snowy down in Southern Utah! It was beautiful! Saturday night my dad and I walked the town of Summit (which is only about 3 blocks big) at about 11:00 at night. It is a very dark town at night, which is one of my favorite parts about it! On a clear night, you can see a billion stars in the sky since there are no city lights! As we were walking, we saw a deer down the sidewalk. Summit is seriously deer country! At night's they all come down from the mountains and roam the town. During the fall, they eat all the fallen apples from the apple trees. My dad and I were trying to get as close to this deer as we could. However, we were not sneaky enough. It spotted us and hopped away. I always love going down to Summit. It is the best getaway from the city life. But its always good to come back home after the fun is over.

It was nice to see Grandma Stapley at the swim meet. It's so sad she's alone.
