Swedish Relative Visits Phoenix

Magnus Jeansson from Sweden came to the United States for a visit. He had contacted me a few years ago after researching and finding out we were related. He started his trip in the Chicago/Rockford area and drove his way west to Phoenix and Vegas, stopping at car shows which he absolutely loves! He also went up to Utah and stayed with Mike overnight. He came to our house on Sunday night and all the Phoenix family came so there was 17 of us. He was quite interested to see what everyone looked like and if there were any similarities. He spent time telling us about the family and the farm in Oland, Sweden. We had Mexican torteilla bowls for dinner and used the Mexican tablecloths- hopefully some food and culture that he would not normally have.

Halloween 2016

We went to the ward "Trunk or Treat" and sure enjoyed being with the Nays. There is nothing quite like the excitement that the Nay girls bring to an event. Could you tell by the first picture- even Olivia lifts her arm to be like her older sisters! And Brenley loved being a "monarch"- I still am not sure if she got the idea that she was a butterfly! Pictures of her from the front and from the back because she knew she was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Phoenix October 2016 Birthdays

We got together at the Nays to celebrate all the Phoenix birthdays that come in October- Dad, Miriam, Ruth, and Olivia. Everyone brought part of the birthday treats- like Adrianne's famous spinach dip! Since we had not celebrated Elijah's birthday in September, we also had his party. Lots of fun. Here Olivia is Dr. Olivia with her new doctor kit and tries out her new lip gloss.
