We've spent some time in Utah for Jason and Alina's wedding, (we stayed at the Marriott in Salt Lake for 2 nights with Valerie) and then Cody went back to work while we stayed an extra week. It was lots of fun spending time with my family. I got to spend a few extra days with Lauren and Brian, and it was so fun seeing them! It's been quite a while since we've all been together... of course Nathan is still on his mission in Mexico, but we had a lifesize cut out of him, and tied balloons on his hand, so he was with us in spirit, and sortof literally ;) We went to Trafalga, the kids went to school with my mom, we went to the school carnival, played lots of card and dice games, talked, I did homework and took quizzes, exams, and wrote a paper... we watched movies (and say yes to the dress), celebrated Valerie's 15th Birthday, I held Valerie as she fainted in my arms... literally... she kept saying "I'm blacking out" and "All I see is black" I said she was fine as I knew she wasn't feeling well, and then I saw her pupils... dialated where there was no iris, and she was ghost white. Luckily we were at my soon to be uncle James' graduation party, so my family was there. It was pretty crazy. We also saw a deer weeding Valerie's pea garden... but it didn't eat the peas!
We were lucky enough to take Valerie back with us to Arizona and she'll spend a few weeks with us partying, spending time in the pool, and who knows what else :)
more pics to come...I'm trying to catch up on posts for now :)
