We had lots of fun with my family we went to all the site seeing as well as spent a lot of time with some of my dad's old track and field friends. My dad attended BYU a few years back as a big track and field star who later went on to the Olympics.

I was excited since I hadn't seen my family from Sweden in 5 years. And Steven also got to meet them for the first time. It was fun and crowded 7 people in our little apt. is very tight but we got to know each other very well.

August 25 Mama Heinrichs came!!!

We were so excited to have Mom here. I love her to bits and she made thing so much easier on me with having so many people here. We had so much fun with her the 7 weeks she was here. From Mom 'n Daughter talks to waking up to cinnamon rolls in the morning and having a lunch pack for me for work every day. to playing the penny slots in Vegas and countless of fun and embarrassing memories I was so great to have her here.

September 19 Papa Heinrichs came!

Henk came September 19 and it was great to see him. we had a lot fun spending time with him. We were also very blessed to be able to got to general conference together as a family. We were also sad that his mother passed away which causef him to have to cut his vacation short.
