We took a trip to Utah Aug 5-9. Jared's Brother Deric came home from his mission in Adelaide, Australia. It was so awesome to see him! We're very proud of all the hard work he did and know that he'll do great as he gets back into school etc. Look out ladies!
Deric also got to meet Kaylee for the first time since she was born when he was out on his mission.

One of Jared's brothers (Justin) got married that week also (we love you Talia - welcome to the family!) and so it was quite a wonderful trip being with family and enjoying time together. Between all of the boys (5 of us) being on missions at different times, it had been quite a while since we had all been together. Good times!
Here is a picture of Deric with Kaylee.
A family photo? Yeah, I know it's been a while since we did one of those...
Kaylee looking cute outside on the SLC temple grounds.
We went out to eat at Costa Vida one night with Jared's Dad, his wife Mary Ann and all of the siblings and spouses. Hmm...let's see...between us all there were 13 (and 1/2 - Kaylee's going to have another cousin!) at dinner that night. Thanks for dinner dad!

Of course Grand pops and Meme couldn't let an opportunity to give Kaylee a gift go by...here's Kaylee with her new doggy!
We also got to take a trip out to the Provo airport and watch Jared's brother Dustin take off in a helicopter as he was teaching a student. Here we all are before take off.
One day we took a drive up Provo Canyon. It brought back lots of great memories (the place where Jared proposed to Holly)! Isn't it beautiful?
But here was the most beautiful sight...Kaylee sleeping in the car on our drive!
ok! I see how it is! don't even mention that you got to see me and my cute little family while you were here visiting! Whatever! ;o) It was great seeing you guys! we had a blast at 7 peaks with you guys and watching Kaylee and Kendrick playing in the water! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI have great memories of Provo canyon as well. Looks like you had a great time...good for you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great trip. So sad we missed you. Life has settled down for us a little bit. Jeremy's brother had some major sadness recently, but hopefully things clear up--they're on the path do to so. Anyway, again, hated to have missed you while in town.
