Weekend review...










We had a great trip last week. Had fun visiting family in Utah and Idaho. Wednesday night we headed up to Idaho Falls for our niece Samantha's wedding. The wedding was Thursday morning and it was beautiful. She looked beautiful and she married a great guy. It was so fun to see Grandma Barnes and 4 of John's 5 sisters.   









We just wish we could have spent more time with them! John had to work... how inconvenient!  Ashley & Tanner had a great time getting to know her "Idaho" cousins. We wish more cousins were able to be there... John's family is very spread out, so it's hard to get us all together. 

 










The reception was very nice. Unfortunately the winds picked up and we had to move everything inside at the last minute! Sam had planned on an outside reception and it was a real hard decision for her to move it in, but it was a good one. It was windy all night! Outside the church building in Hamer Idaho there is a huge lawn and it looked so pretty out there... luckily the church was right across the parking lot. The guys sure got a work out moving all the tables and chairs back and forth! Needless to say we were all very tired when it was over. But it was worth it! (Mitchell was at EFY. It was so strange to not have him there.)










We got back to Lehi Friday night after stopping to see my brothers new place in Pocatallo ID. Unfortunately he was having some nose surgery that day so we didn't get to see him. (no, he didn't get plastic surgery... although he has the longest nose in the family... we measured once)  Luckily a few of the kids were home and we got to see their new house. I wanted to see where they were living now... I like to have a visual picture of where people are.  We definitely want to go back soon and go to the hot springs with them. It looks like a great area and we are excited for their new adventure.

On our way out of town we stopped by our good friends house who just move up to Alpine Utah. Mitchell lived at the Zebe's on the weekends hanging out with Jake and Barbara was my YW secretary... we are going to miss them so much!! We wanted to see where they going to be. Their house is beautiful and they seem to be getting settled.

Saturday night we hurried home and John and I got tickets from his channel 8 rep to see Kenny G. He was amazing. It was out at Lake Las Vegas on the lawn and there was a full moon to the right of the stage and to the left was a huge lightening storm. It was so cool. And the music was awesome. He was a great performer! I would highly recommend seeing him if you can.

We sure had similar trips didn't we. Wedding & visiting friends. My sister in law lives in Alpine too. We spent a ton of time at her home while we were in Utah.

What a beautiful bride. Good thing for plan B's, huh. I thought Vegas was the only place where wind could take over something so important!

I missed my trip to IKEA. I didn't have a whole day to spend there and I found out last time that's what you need. That place is HUGE!

What a fun trip! I didn't even know Barb & Family moved. :( I'd love to get her email if you think about it.
