Utah 2012 was a trip to remember. Weddings, friends, and family reunions long over due. Downi and Jared were supposed to get married the week we were in town, but they surprised everyone and eloped a few weeks before. I am so glad we still were able to come and celebrate with them.
The boys and I flew down by ourselves while Devan was at a conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. The first few days we stayed with Greg & Amy.
Jamis loved the Nicholsons back yard.
Jamis helped Greg reel in a fish. He was so excited but then wouldn't touch it or even look at it.
Jax loved our little fishing trip.
Devan had quite the view from his Vancouver hotel.
After the conference, Devan flew down to Salt Lake to join us. Jax was so excited to see his daddy. A week apart was just too much
We had a fun time walking around Temple Square together.
At the church history museum.
Jamis enjoyed our little hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Jax, not so much.
Before all the wedding festivities, we had a great family get together at the Griner's. Devan was really excited to learn that his childhood cat, Rossia, was still around.
This is the first time that Devan has been with this many of his siblings in nearly 7 years. It was soooo great seeing everyone and catching up.
