here's a cute pic of scott playing with his grandma palmer. we all had so much fun together just hanging out talking, eating and watching the Biggest Loser!
back up in draper, mom and i did lots of fun stuff together. we didn't get as many pictures because a lot of our time together was just relaxing and talking. but one fun thing we did was go through the draper temple openhouse. i loved this picture of scott and grandy on the shuttle ride up to the temple.
on thursday mom and us girls went to the jordan river temple and out to lunch. it was so fun to hang out with the girls. unfortunately i got sick after this and then scott got sick too! but to tell you the truth it was kind of nice being with my mom who took such good care of us while we were ill. :)
and last but not least - here is a picture of me with my mom and dad on my graduation day. i have been so blessed to have such amazing parents. I can't believe that it has already been a year since my dad had his graduation day. but i'm thankful that i'm finally starting to get to the point where i can think about him and the eternities and feel less pain and sorrow and more amazement, gratitude and excitement to see him again some day.

Natalie, such beautiful pictures and a beautiful write-up! I enjoyed looking at the lovely people, especially the picture of you with your parents, and you with your sisters. We love you!
It was so fun to see you and Scott. Thanks for coming down and visiting us! Can't wait to see you guys again!
That was such a nice post in honor of you dad. Let me tell you it does get easier. It's also so nice to have the gospel in our lives to know where they are. This June it will be 12 years since my mom passed away. It's great to remember the memories you had of them.
I am glad you gusy had a good time! Sorry to learn about you losing your dad but I am glad you got to spend the one year mark with your family. I bet your mom was so grateful! Hopefully scott did well on the plane for ya!
Omigosh, that week went way too fast. But, luckily, we have the memories to keep us going. I couldn't believe how well Scotty slept each night---even when he got the stomach flu. One thing about being around Natalie, there is never a dull moment. If we weren't laughing, we were crying. Thanks James for sharing your family with me this past week---even on Valentine's Day. Your love and support buoyed me up! I love you guys soooo much. Mom K.
Looks like you had a great time...it makes me tear up thinking about your dad. I would be lost without mine. Good eternal perspective though. It would take me a while to get to that point
I'm so happy you were able to be with your family on that important day. It looks like Scott has some loving Grandmas. That is so neat you were able to go to the temple open house and the Jordan River Temple. It is one of my favorites.
Awww. I love that picture of you and your dad. Hugs.
