Trip To Utah

This past week we went to Utah for my sister Katie and her husband Pauls sealing in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. It was a great trip. We had a few delays in our flights and didn't arrive until 2am on Thursday Morning. We were exhausted and our bags didn't make it. But we were glad to finally be there.

On thursday we went to the "This is the place" Monument and they had a barn of baby animals. It was so cute to see the ducks, chicks, rabbits, pigs, sheep and goats.

This is Alyssa with her cousin Alyana.

Alyssa loved the bunnies and kept wanting me to pick them up so she could hold them.

My sister Katie, her husband Paul and ALL of the grandchildren on my parents side of the family. From left to right Ephraim (13), Landon (5), Graydon (10), Ethan (9), Gieran (12), Taj (10 months), Alyssa (2), Eden (10) and Alyana (2). It was so great to have all the grandkids in one place. It'll be a long time before this happens again.

We went to dinner with my bestest friend in the whole world, Andrea and her family. Her cute boys Brandon and Adam had fun playing with Alyssa.

On Friday my in-laws came down from Boise and we went to the Utah Hogle Zoo and we had fun seeing the animals. Alyssa with the Elephants.

Alyssa's favorite animal was the Giraffe!! He was quite the character.

We bought Alyssa a stuffed Giraffe and a monkey for Baby Mason.

We had a great day at the Zoo. Thank you Papa and Grandma for driving down from Boise to see us!!

Then these are pictures from outside the Temple. My camera died before I could get pictures of the sealing so I can't wait to get pictures from my parents.

Alyssa and her cousin Alyana - such cute little girls!! You would never believe they are only 4 months apart.

Thank you to Aunty Heather for making Alyssa these cute headbands. She made me wear one that day.

These are the beautiful mountains we flew over on the way home. You definately don't get these in Illinois. It was stunning!

We had a wonderful, yet short, trip to Utah. We are blessed to have great family on both sides. Congratulations to my sister Katie and her wonderful new husband Paul. We are so excited for you!!
