I was lucky enough to go to Utah for 2 weeks to visit with family and be part of my little sister's wedding. I brought Kalli and Treyvan, then Nate met up with us a week later. Treyvan got to go on his first plane ride
He was pretty stoked
Treyvan was so happy to see and step all over grandpa
Myself, Cristin and Mandy threw Jill a bridal shower. We had so much fun! Here is Jill eating a bubble gum for every question she got wrong about Nick (to the right).
Jill got lots of good stuff, you can't go wrong when you are in need of everything!
Next on the agenda, we went to Oneida to ride tubes down the river, but since the rain wouldn't give us a break and it was a bit chilly, we settled for a weenie roast and some treats.

Bright and early - 6 am! (Seriously, look at that bird mouth, always open!)

Look at those chipmunk cheeks - she got about half of the questions wrong :)

Treyvan LOVED being outside
Owen always has a smile on his face!
Treyvan seemed to take a liking to his soon to be uncle, Nick
Owen is just 3 weeks older than Treyvan; what a cutie and a mover!
The crew
There is a place in Ogden called TreeHouse that my cousin Jami thought would be fun to take the kids to. They had so much fun banging on the drums...
playing in the doll house...
being firemen...
dressing up as princesses and so much more!
Treyvan loved hitchin a ride with Riley
It was a fun bunch and they all got along so well. We'll have to make sure we do this stuff more often with all the cousins!
Of course, one of the main reasons we went to Utah was for Jill and Nick's wedding. It was beautiful and Jill looked gorgeous! Her photographer did an awesome job, here are a few of my favorites
The fam back together again
The original 4 - Mark, Mandy, Jill and me
Jill and her beautiful nieces
Kalli LOVED her "princess" dress and tiara. She danced around all night. She loves how it twirls so high around her
So sweet - adorable flower girls and handsome little men
Of course, we had to get a formal family pic
The happy couple - we had our 8 YEAR anniversary while we were in Utah. Happy Anniverary to us!
My big little man
My favorite little princess
Kalli is always such a big helper, whether Treyvan wants it or not...
On our next to last night in Utah we had a BBQ with a bunch of the family and then had a firework show. The kids had so much fun playing Red Rover, jumping on the trampoline and literally running around the house (Kalli did the most at 19 times - maybe we should put her in track). Here Kalli is getting sprayed down with mesquito spray since Benson (the town where I am actually from, not Logan) is known for those pesky skeeters.
Kalli was a little unsure about those sparklers so close to her fingers.
On our last day, we went to see Grandma Brown. I used to catch penny bugs at her house in the canal and then put them under a rock. The next day there were actual pennies under the rocks. Magic. I loved going to grandma's house, it was always an adventure. Looks like Treyvan liked it too.
One final hug good-bye

Until next time...
