My brothers



Jake, Trevor, Buck (the groom), and Colt

Visiting Friends


We did have an opportunity to get away from family and visit some friends. We got to visit and go to church with our friends, the Godfrey's. This is a picture of their little boy. We used to live by them in Chicago. We miss them being our neighbors and are sad that we only get to see them maybe once a year if we are lucky.

Visiting Temple Square


You can tell the trip is wearing on the pregnant woman.

Finally a family pic


This was at the wedding. I'm sad to say this is the only picture we took at the wedding. We didn't even get one of my brother and his new wife. Hopefully someone will be kind and send us some of their pics. The wedding was in Manti. Such a pretty temple. The day was bright and sunny.

Day two...

On day two we met up with the Darleys and went to the Hogle Zoo. We had a blast! We saw a great bird show. We loved spending time with them. There was Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Colt, Uncle Jake, Uncle Trevor, and Auntie. We had fun, but I must admit, Hogle is a dot (they didn't even have a lion) compared to the zoo in Chicago, so for anyone visiting Chicago, I would make it a point to go to their zoo.

Day one

The first day in Utah, we met with J.R.'s family (Nana, Papa, Aunt Marcia, Lisa, Connie, Bob, the cousins, Alena, Sam and Blake. We went to this fantastic place a children's museum that was loads of fun. We had a blast hanging with them. We will miss them.

Going to Utah....




This was Nathan's first time on an airplane and first time to Utah. He loved the mountains. He kept pointing them out every time he saw them, which was all the time.
The trip was an hour drive to the airport, 7 hour flight..... But the kids did great. I can't complain. I was blessed with angels on the trip.
