Visits to Utah

We made 2 trips to Utah in October - the first was a planned visit with Dianna and the boys - which just happened to coincide with my niece Meagan's baby blessing . . . then 3 weeks later I was back again to attend the wedding of my nephew Wade and his beautiful bride Kelli Ann. It has been a busy busy week - and lots of fun with extended family members.
Meagan, her husband Tyler, and their little daughter Lydia. The blessing was held at the Snow family's farm north of Brigham City - and we drove there and back through pouring rain, but the next 2 days were well worth it because the beautiful "first snow" in the mountains was wonderful to see.

Wade and Kelli Ann were married in a beautiful ceremony in the Salt Lake City Temple - followed by a reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building across the street from the Temple itself. It was great to see this beautiful young couple begin their lives together in such a wonderful way.

Erin flew up for the Wade's wedding - and Neisha lives nearby, so I got to spend time with both of them - here we are hanging out at the reception.

Chris and Paula drove up from St. George to be at the wedding - and of course Dianna and Mike who live in American Fork were there. It was so great to see so many cousing supporting each other - with the added benefit that I get to spend time with them all too.

Look at the mountains behind Ken and I and you will see why we didn't mind the day of rain - the snow in the mountains was beautiful. We drove through the canyons with Mike and Dianna to see the fall leaves turning beautiful colors - it was an awesome day.

I love hugs from my beautiful daughter.

And hugs from Wade-o are very special tooooooooo.

Caleb and Wade-o were riding on Dianna's longboard - down the driveway, into the street, and stopped by Michael just in time to keep from tumbling over . . . they loved it.

Kingston does quite the balancing act - he is a natural showman.

Matthew loves to be chased by his dad - and Chris loves to make Matt laugh and laugh.

Wade-o, Caleb and Matthew - you have got to love those rosy red cheeks and big smiles.
