A Utah Get-Away

On July 31st my mom, Bradley, Jamison and I headed out of the heat for a few days. Well, so we thought. Though the temp in Utah was a few degrees lower than here, it was NOT cooler. The humidity made it even worse. I kept thinking, "Where's my dry heat?!" Anyway, we still were able to have an awesome weekend. Friday we attended my cousin Vanessa's wedding. This was the whole reason we headed out of town. The bride was beautiful and the night was a lot of fun. The kids LOVED that Vanessa jumped on the trampoline with them. I think Vanessa had a lot of fun too!

Saturday we had a BBQ at my cousin Kyle and Heather's house. Kyle and Heather were awesome hosts. Kyle is quite the drummer and put on a little show for Bradley. He still talks about it. Bradley loves the drums. The food and company were both great. Thanks Kyle and Heather for the fun night. And, by the way, we're still talking about how good the ice cream and brownies were!

On Sunday we went to Ann and Tyler's ward. It started at 9:00am. I LOVE the early session. However, I have never had it with two kids. So, it was a little challenge to get out of the door on time, but I did it. In fact, I was ready with time to spare. Next year I think my ward is moving to the 9 slot. So, it was good practice. The meeting was great. Jamison was a little fuss-bucket most the time so I was a hall-walker for a good portion of the third hour. But, that was okay. Sunday afternoon we headed back to Vegas. We drove past a huge truck filled with big pigs! Bradley thought it was cool. So did my mom and I until the truck nearly steered us off the road. I think we stayed in his blind spot a little too long.

It was a great weekend. It was really good to get out of town and see family. Also, it was nice to see Ann and Tyler's new house. Ann is quite the little decorator. It looks really good.
