Growing up in Alpine one of my very best friends in the whole world was Tyrone Frazier. He lived across the street from me and we pretty much spent every day during the summers together. Tyrones family was my second family and they have played such an important role in my life. Their generosity to me over the years has been astounding…from helping pay for my mission, to Tyrone lending me his jeep for 6-8 months after my mission when I was car-less, to helping Ad and I fix our roof and installing sprinklers. I just adore these people and consider myself so very blessed to have their friendship in my life. Tyrone has been one of those friends who have shaped who I am and he has been one of the most amazing examples of my life!
When we were kids we always talked about how we HAD to like each others spouses so that we could stay friends forever! I’m so glad to say that even though we both have been married for 7 and 8 years now, and have 7 kids running around between our two families, that we still have a great relationship and love those rare chances we have to mix our two families together! (And it may become permanent someday as apparently Kayla, Tyrones oldest, has decided she’s going to marry Branson!)
This last weekend we were able to meet up with Tyrone and Emily out on Utah Lake for a night of fun. We started out at Tyrones house in Lehi where we got to check out all the amazing work he’s been doing on his new home and then we headed to Saratoga Springs boat ramp to have a picnic and break out the jet skies. We had such a fun time and just enjoy so much being in the company of the Fraziers! Here are some pictures from the evening.
Branson all ready to go!
Dawson enjoying time on the blankets (notice his awesome rooster tail).
All the kids seemed to prefer sitting on the Jet Ski instead of actually riding it on the water!
Dawson was the only one that didn’t cry once out on the lake, but he didn’t like the unstable-ness of the Jet Ski before it got moving.
Cute Harry-bob
The future Mr. and Mrs. Branson Egbert
We took turns watching each others kids so that we could take couple trips out on the skies.
Sure was a wonderful evening spent with wonderful friends! Thanks Fraziers!
Sure love ya’s!
