Our Trip

Oh my... I am SO tired. I'm falling asleep. I am lacking sleep... and need a lot, and I'm pretty sure I wont get "a lot" anytime soon. We got home from our vacation Sunday and I went to bed much later than I should've especially since we got to our house at 6pm. We should have been home earlier than that but there was a LOVELY traffic jam we were stuck in for about 2 hours because of a fatal accident on I-285. Anyway, the point is I should've had plenty of time to go to sleep early both that night and last night. But... I took pictures at my cousin Ann's wedding and was just to anxious to get working on them. It's hard to stop when you've started. ANYWAY, we're home and we had an awesome time with our family and friends.

To answer you Christina (and everyone else who is curious), here is what we did get to do:

• Ben met his Auntie Shauna and Randi, cousins and Uncle Greg and Aunt Samantha for the first time.
• Drove the Alpine Loop, stopped at Cascade Springs and walked around a little. Saw a motorcyclists that had driven his bike off the rode on one of the switch-backs! Oops!
• Had a Father's Day BBQ and celebrated Ryan's first Father's Day
• Went to the bank and the mall and saw a lady in our stake here at the distribution center when I got a new temple dress.
• Ate at Tucano's with Andrea Green, Ryan and Kate
• Got sealed as an eternal family in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It was the most beautiful thing ever to be there with my man and then to have our little one brought in dressed in white! I will never forget it!
• Ben met his Uncle John and Aunt Clau and other cousins from St. George.
• Wednesday we celebrated Ryan's 27th birthday and went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point and then to the Mayan with the Webb's and Andrea. We had a lot of fun! We even got to play some Wii and XBox at the Webb's house.
• Ate at the Happy Sumo and rode the moonlight lift at Sundance with Andrea and Ryan Andersen. We even took Ben. Read here about it.
• Took Ben to Grandma's and Grandpa's house for the first time.
• Shopped some, got some good deals and cute things... Ryan was a little bummed though, we couldn't ever find anything for him. Pooooooorrrrr Ryan....
• We got to attend the sealing of my cousin Ann and her husband Mike at the Idaho Falls Temple.
• Took pictures of them until all of us couldn't stand it anymore. (I was their photographer.)


• Got too hot and went to Chili's and then to Wal-Mart and saw a lady (only in Idaho...sorry if you live there) with a GINORMOUS sunflower pin on her shirt! I think she must have just hot glued a safety pin to a flower she got out of the flower bins at Michael's craft store and decided it was PERFECT to make as a pin for that navy blue shirt. It was seriously the size of her head.
• Basically pigged out all week. We ate at a lot of yummy places. Cafe Rio was a must and I got to go. YUM!
• Drove a lot. A LOT. Ben was a champ and quite the little traveler. In his short little 3 1/2 month life he's been to TN, UT and ID! Go Ben! He only fussed when the plane was landing but other than that slept most of the flight. In fact, we had him sleeping on the tray tables. He was too squirmy and uncomfortable on our laps. It worked out perfectly!

Here is one of the pictures of Ann's wedding... I need to post more and fix more and do all sorts of things with them... any of you photographers- got any suggestions on where I could post the pictures for her and her friends and family to see with out going to Kodak, Snapfish, or any of those other sites? Something easy? Don't they look so happy? What a beautiful bride!

Vacation pictures to come. I smell another photo montage!!!!
