This past weekend was a joyous one. Starting on Thursday we had family flying and driving in from around the country to be here for my sister and brother-in-laws sealing.
Since my brother's families live in North Carolina and Texas, we don't all get together very often. Until last summer we hadn't all been together in six years but now all my siblings have been together for the second time in a year. When all six of us kids get together you know it's going to be eventful and full of "heated discussions." Even though we are all very different and don't get along all the time, just like most siblings, I sure do love them all!
On Saturday after a week of rain, it was finally sunny and beautiful outside as we headed to the Salt Lake Temple. My sister Jamie and her husband Spencer were sealed and two of their kids, Keegan and Savannah were sealed to them for time and all eternity.
Since Raye Ann and I are the youngest we got stuck with babysitting duty while everyone else headed inside for the sealing. Thankfully we didn't lose any kids but kept them somewhat entertained with skittles. (always a good idea to bring treats when dealing with kids)
When the Hutchinson family came out of the temple it was picture time, which is always an adventure with little kids around. Of the hundreds of pictures, these are some of my favorites.

It was a beautiful and wonderful occasion. Having all the family in town was a lot of fun, even though some were unable to come. After the sealing, pictures and luncheon we headed back to the house for the first pool party of the year.
I'm so happy for Jamie and Spencer. Congratulations!!!
