Utah Trip

On Thursday right after Alan got off of work we were able to leave for utah. My sister just had her baby and they were blessing her in church on sunday so we needed to be up there for her blessing. When we left on thursday it was Alan and I and my niece and nephew and my two sisters in the car. We drove up to my parents house who live 6 and 1/2 hours away and slept for the night and then in the morning Alan and I left early to go see his Aunt and Uncle who lived 41/2 hours away from my parents in the Provo area and then hang out with one of his mission buddies who lives by Brigham City area.

When we arrived at Alan's aunt and uncles house on Friday we went on a picnic. We went and got Alan's uncle from work and then headed to a park that was only a few minutes away. It was really nice to see Alan's aunt, uncle and his three cousins. The cousins are getting bigger and bigger every time we see them. We aren't able to see them very often so it was nice to have a picnic with them, and enjoy talking with them.

At the park : Uncle Robert, Timothy, Spencer, Emma, Tasha, Alan, and Lena

After we left the picnic we headed to my sisters house who lives near Ogden. We stopped at her house to see the new baby and to drop off our stuff. After we unloaded we headed to the brigham city area to see Alan's mission buddy. We went out to a little mexican food place and went back to their house and hung out for a while and then went to his parents house for a little game of volleyball. We really had a fun time hanging out with him and his wife.

On saturday morning we woke up and went shooting. My brother in law and his brother have a few guns, and my dad and brother and some too so we all went out shooting. It was really fun! It had been a while since I had been out shooting. We shot a .22, .17, 45m and a 357. My brother, dad, brother in law, and Alan's mission buddy enjoyed shooting clay pigeons with their shot guns while the rest of us shot the other guns. We also drove my brother in laws quad around. The best part about shooting guns is that my brother kept shooting dragon flies as they would pass by the fields. It was really funny!

Saturday night we went out to dinner with my sisters husband's family. We went to some mexican food place and it wasn't too bad. Then when we got home we had a little birthday party for my nephew who just turned 1. It was really fun to see him eat his cake and open presents. Then we played some cards and went to bed.

Sunday morning we woke up and started getting stuff ready for luncheon that would happen after my niece's blessing. We went to church and my brother-in-law blessed Taylynn. My dad, brother and Alan were able to stand in the circle. It was so nice to hear Clint (my brother in law) give his daughter a blessing. Then after church we went back to my sister house and had a luncheon and then after the luncheon we drove back to my parents house who lived 5 hours toward our house and then monday morning we woke up bright and early and came back home!!
