Our Return to Utah

In April, we had a friend get married. The wedding was in Utah (yay!) so we got a chance to visit many of the friends we had recently left behind.

We flew in on a Saturday (Will was not-so-good at the airport) and went straight to Brooke's birthday party. It was very fun, but Will had missed both naps during our day of travel, so he didn't last all that long. He certainly enjoyed the balloons, though.




We then went to Jessica and Dave's house (where we were sleeping that night) and met this little cutie, Dawson! The boys enjoyed each other, but I think the next time will be even more fun.



On Sunday, we were able to attend our old ward and catch up with friends there. We then met up with the soon-to-be-married couple at BYU. We had a lot of fun exploring campus first. It was a warm day - we even had to put on sunblock (which is very rare in Seattle)!






On Monday, we spent the day hanging out with Jessica and Dawson. We introduced the Gregorys to the ridiculous show "Yo Gabba Gabba." The boys had some time together (including a quick head cuddle). We also tried to get the babies to cooperate for some picture taking.





Then we went to Kalisha and David's house for dinner. (How did we not get any pictures Kalisha!?)

On Tuesday, we went to visit my school. I visited with some of the teachers/staff and even caught a glimpse of some of my cute former students. It was so fun to be back there for a little while.




Then, we were able to attend the wedding and reception for Trevin and Kim. Will was a crazy man at the reception, so we only stayed 30 minutes.


We stayed a few nights with the Pattees. It was so fun to be back in their beautiful home where we house sat for 18 months. It was also Will's first home (for the first 2 weeks of his life).


Wednesday, we played with my favorite little girls ever (and their awesome mom)! When Will was a week old, we took pictures with these girls in matching hats. Will was not as cooperative this time around. We also had some great adventures at the Dinosaur Museum.







We stopped and had some frozen yogurt with Janet, one of my mom's good friends. She got some seriously good cuddles from Will (which hardly ever happens).

Our last few days were spent up in Bountiful with Daniel's grandparents. Daniel's mom came into town too. We checked out the new mall and explored Temple Square.







At the airport, Will begged to get into his car seat, and then slept the entire flight back to Seattle.



It was a dream (and very unlike the screaming airport experience a week earlier). We had such a great time in Utah and we miss everyone there already.

It was so much fun for ME to get to be with the three of YOU! I can't wait to see you in a couple of days! It feels like a very long time ago we were all in Utah.
