Aaron and I have been to Utah twice so far this summer. We have one more trip scheduled in September for my brother's wedding. Our first trip was back in June. We had lots of fun. We had a family reunion, we went to the zoo and we also had Aaron's blessing.
The reunion was lots of fun and we got to meet a lot of family members that we hadn't met yet. It was at a park in Draper. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures of everyone because we were so cold. It was freezing -- we were all bundled up! Later that night some of us met up and spent the evening together. We had a great time and it is always fun to catch up!
The zoo was far from freezing. It was just the opposite -- we went mid-morning because we knew it was going to be a very hot day. This was Aaron's first trip to the zoo. I don't really think he cared that much, but the rest of us had a great time!
Nick flew up for the weekend so he could attend the reunion and so we could do Aaron's blessing.
Here are a few pictures of Peyton and Aaron. The first picture was taken when Peyton was 11 1/2months old and Aaron was three weeks old.
This is Peyton at 15 months old and Aaron at 4 months old.
This picture was taken on the way home from the airport. It takes Peyton a few minutes to warm up to the competition. I am so excited for when they can interact and play together!
So CUTE!
I just thought this was a cute picture. We went to Cafe Rio then went shopping. Kyle came with us and helped us with the boys. He is a great babysitter.
When Aaron and I went to Utah for the second trip it was because Nick was prepping to take the bar exam. It just so happened that most of my family was headed to Wyoming to go camping. So, I spent some time with my mom (even though she isn't in one picture -- I don't know how that happened). I was also able to visit some friends and family that I don't normally get to see.
We took a walk down the Lagoon Trail. I hadn't ever done that before so I enjoyed it very much! Meg and Will rode their bikes and my mom and I walked and pushed Aaron in the stroller.
Meg really wanted a picture with Aaron. She is such a good aunt. She loves to hold him and play with him.
Mom and I were trying out different settings on our camera's. Will patiently sat there and waited -- it was very helpful.
We went to the pool with my mom. It was our first time at a public pool -- we had to protect the kids with our life. Aaron had fun and loved splashing and loved it when Meg and Will would pop out of the water. He would laugh and splash more.
My friend Tiffany and her son Bridger came to visit Aaron and me. It was fun to be able to spend a little time catching up with her.
It just so happens that Heather was in Utah the same time I was. It was so fun to be able to meet up with her and go to lunch. We had such a great time talking and eating our burgers, cheese fries and Dr. Pepper. Yum!
We took a family picture while we were there. From left to right: Mistee (the dog), Mom, Sam, Grandpa Jensen, Grandma Jensen, Will (in front), Meg (in front), Adrianna, Aaron, Marianne, Peyton, Jessica, Andrea and Scott.
