Vacation

I wish we would have gotten many more pictures of our trip to Utah, but Russ was having a hard hard time that weekend. As soon as we got home he transformed back into an easy happy, smiling baby. He is a creature of habit, and loves his schedule, his own bed and California.

We had such an awesome weekend visiting family and friends. We got to see Scott for the first time in two years. What an incredible guy. We loved catching up with him. We also met little Olivia, not so little Eddie, and beautiful Meg. We have the cutest nieces and nephews.

Christina and I threw a bridal shower for Jess, who is getting married in two weeks. Her and Danny are perfect for each other and we are so excited for them.

I must mention that Mark went to the Jazz game with his dad and brothers. They had a great time, but this subject has become very tender in our home the last couple of days. We are healing, slowly.

The highlight was hearing my husband give Russell his very first blessing. I love them both more than I ever could have possible imagined. Thanks again to the Gardner's for throwing a fabulous party after church.

Reunited! I missed my little sis so much while she was in Romania.


Eating with Danny and Jess at the Mayan. Nothing more fun than eating in the treetops!
