Utah continued...

Tuesday night Alden and I got to see Austen one last time. Alden sure had fun with all of his aunts and uncles.

"Aunt Becca can I have some of that"

These are pictures from Catherine's Bridal Shower. We were glad that we got to see Catherine one more time before her big day! (In the last couple days of the trip I got a sty. As you can see in the pictures... moral of the story is not to wear really old mascara and not wash it off at night.)

Alden got to meet two of my old roommates. Ashley recently returned from her mission and was in town for the day, so we were glad that we got to see her and Janae.

family continued

Alden spending some time with Grandma.

Alden is already learning to take care of others... even if others just means a doll.


All the cousins that were born this year!!

Spending time with Family

Haven was so cute and always was giving lots of hugs to everyone and especially Alden

This is Alden with his cousin Grant. Grant is just one month older then Alden

This was right after the flight to Utah, we went straight to visit Grandma and Grandpa. This is the only Great Grandpa that Alden has that is still living. :)

Here we are with Grandma, Aunt Robin, and Uncle Rorke

Alden got to meet all of his cousins. He loved being with Emma, Aspen, and Grant!

Snapping Pictures


On Sunday we were having fun taking a couple of pictures just before Alden's nap.




Alden is sitting up really well now. He likes to play with whatever he can get his hands on.

Utah Here I Come!!

Well, tomorrow I leave for Utah. I am very excited. It will be the first time my whole family has been together since I left on my mission, and it will be the first time most of my family will meet Alden. The only one that we will be missing will be my ever so wonderful husband, Michael.

Florida...

Michael, Alden and I just returned from a wonderful vacation. Last Saturday we drove down to Florida where we spent a couple of days and then on our way home we stopped by South Carolina. It was great to see family and spend some days in the nice warm weather! ( I love warm vacations in the middle/end of winter.)
Alden loved getting so much attention and playing with all of his cousins.
Olivia loved to hold and carry Alden. She sure was strong to carry such a big little guy!
We got to spend a nice afternoon at the beach. It was beautiful!
Alden also got to have some time to play with his newest little cousin, Will.
We also went to the Children's Science Museum. It was a lot of fun. I think Michael and I enjoyed it more then the kids even did!
We even got to climb to the top of a lighthouse. It sure was beautiful looking over the beach's and the homes in Florida.
Meghan stayed at the bottom of the lighthouse and watched all of the kids while we got to climb to the top. We sure were treated really well on our vacation. This was our last afternoon in Florida, outside playing on the swing set. We had a wonderful time. If Florida was closer I think we would be already trying to plan another trip! :)
