Utah Trip

Towards the end of February we drove to Utah for a little family reunion. My oldest nephew had just gotten home from his mission in Calgary Canada and I have two nephews who would be leaving on their missions this year. My parents flew up from Texas and my brother and his family came over from Denver. This is the first time we have all been together in 3 years, it was a lot of fun!

We went to the new temple in Draper, Utah for the open house. It was beautiful and it was great for the kids to see it. We went with my nephews, Jeff and Riley, and my parents.

We had a lot of fun times together as the whole "Moss Clan". We went to Fat Catz in Salt Lake for bowling and the video arcade. Here are a few pictures.

I love having the youngest kids in the family. My kids get all the attention from their older cousins and every single one of my nephews and nieces are great examples for my kids.

All the "boys" in the family including Uncle Travie always play basketball together. This time Jake was old enough to play and he loved every minute of it.


We had to take a bunch of family snapshots since it has been such a long time. It is amazing how much all of the grand kids have grown. My parents have 12 grand kids with #13 in my belly.

This picture is actually in order according to age, Lori, Tina, Robb and Mindy. Robb was one lucky boy to be surrounded by 3 sisters who catered to him growing up and still do.

be my little nephew.

All my nephews and Jake. He has great examples to look up to.

Great pictures! I've always wondered what ALL the Moss family looked like. I just have to know something though, who is the person peering out of the window in the back round of the picture of all the siblings and their spouses?

That is so funny you noticed. That is my sisters' friend's husband. He did it on purpose, he is kind of a goofy guy.
