Salt Lake Cematary

We go out to UT every summer for 2 1/2 weeks. This time around I wanted to do some touristy things. I had been out to UT several times before Ben and I got married. So I have done a lot of the UT stuff. Well I had never been to The Salt Lake Cemetery where most of the Prophets and apostles are buried.
We went on a Sunday after church.

Now I had never been there, and I thought that all of the prophets (and their wives) that were buried there would all be in a section together. Why wouldn't they? In a lot of cemeteries military men and women are buried in a section together. Well, I was wrong. They were spread out.

Spencr W. Kimball

Harold B. Lee

Gordon B. Hinckley

David O. McKay

This was an early apostle

John Taylor

Heber J. Grant

George Albert Smith

 

Except Joseph F. Smith(top)

and

Joseph Fielding Smith(bottom)

Who were just a few apart.

Wilford Woodruff

These are just the few graves that we saw.

It was so amazing to see this--  to see the past prophets that I never got to see or hear in my life. You know how things are real. But, when you do something like this it makes it even more real. 

Happy Birth day Max

I can't believe Max is already one. Wow time flies really fast.

I decided to do the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Since Max is always wanting food.

Here is some of the food that the caterpillar ate that I served (OK--so I did it all).

I decided to do Subs since it is easy and my family does really good subs.

 Since Max doesn't have all of his teeth yet he got it in parts.

After dinner we had cake and ice cream...

 ...and sang "Happy Birthday" to Max.

 Boy, he really loved his cake.

He really went at it.

Big Time!!!

He even did his usual and devoured his ice cream cone.

 What can I say, he is an Ipson after all.

Then it was time to open presents.

He had to kept being brought back, he is one--what do you expect.

 What a sweetie pie that he is.

 So while the adults were talking Max got written on his tummy, "Mr. Blue Sky". It is a Durney tradition the a baby would randomly have that appear on his tummy.  Max's turn finally came.  Normally you don't know who it is cause that is also part of the tradition that no one fesses up but this time I knew who did it and I am not going to say who it is but it is one of these 2 guys in the picture.

It was a happy day.
