Utah Details

Well, we finally got settled in from our long vacation! It was a blast in Utah and we really miss the friends, family, and the wonderful weather! Seriously, sitting out on the patio on an early afternoon and chatting the evening away is one of my favorite things! So, in honor of my trip, now that I've had a few days to recuperate, I'm posting some of the notable events of the trip:

High school Reunion: Such a blast to touch base with good friends! I've missed you guys!

POCAHONTAS: Seriously, I think Ginny watched that at least once every day we were there! we did watch a lot of movies while I did the cake, but that was by far the most frequented. Others we enjoyed together: Calamity Jane, Lion King, Guys and Dolls, and Cinderella.

Hanging out with Chris and Tara: I loved chatting with you when we all should have been sleeping/working/taking care of my kids (I really hope we didn't destroy your house!).

Girls' weekend in Park City: I got together with my best girls, minus Alyssa :( We had a surprise baby shower for the 2 pregos and stayed up all night talking and chatting about old times and new times. I loved the girl time!

Never on time to church, even though it was just a few blocks away. Somehow out here I manage to make it at least 10 minutes early when it takes about 40 minutes drive time to get there. I don't know what it was, but for the life of me I was about 10 minutes late every time! Go figure!

Making the biggest cake ever! Wow, what an opportunity! I officially made my first wedding cake. Thanks, Mike and Camille, for letting me use your wedding for my trial run! I hope you liked it! I still can't get the pics off my camera, so if any of you have some, please send them my way.

Catching up with my family: It was so great to see virtually all of my family (we missed you, Dwayne!). I loved the time we had together and can't wait until we can spend more time together!

Hanging out with the Bastian's: Even though it was a madhouse trying to get ready for the wedding and all the keys locked in the cars and even the transmission going out, what a blast!

Wedding Festivities: I loved meeting Mike's family and getting to know them better. The wedding breakfast was great - Lily ate an entire chicken breast by herself! She sure loves food! And, of course, the reception - what a great turnout! I was so glad to celebrate such an exciting event! I asked Ginny and Audrey what they loved about the reception:
Audrey: Camille was a princess!
Gin: I loved Camille's beautiful dress.
Camille was as always, gorgeous!

Well, that's a quick rundown on my activities for the month! I am so glad to be home and miss the Utahns already!

How is she ever going to get anything done...

Well that's it you all are fired. My wife is now addicted to this blogging thing and my kids are going hungry (mostly me going hungry - we had Mac and cheese for dinner... need I say more?)

Well I hope this venture of ours brings you enlightenment, because it has certainly helped us learn a thing or 2 - Shauna is very good at figuring things out and she did all of this herself. I'll chime in here and there to give you my side of the story as it usually differs from hers. Leave comments have fun and let us know what you all are up to.

Here are some pictures from Utah. My camera is freaking out about some pictures, so this is just the first half of the trip. More to come. Enjoy!

Peer Pressure

Okay, so I've finally given in. I just returned from my LONG trip to Utah. It was a fun, exciting, busy, adventure filled trip. I was so glad to see all my friends and celebrate Camille and Mike's wedding! I'm just figuring out how to post pictures, so please be patient....
