Trip to Utah

Benjamin and I took a fantastic trip to Utah last week. Poor Tom had to stay home and work. :0( We went for my cousin Carl's wedding and got to stay a whole week with my best friend Betheny. We had a blast. Here are a few of the highlights.

The happy couple!

And my Aunts Zoe and Trudy and Uncle Darrel

Between the wedding and the reception I got to visit my friend and old roommate Shallee in the hospital with her new baby Asher. He is such a cute little guy. Benjamin had a lot of fun looking at the baby and getting into anything and everything we would let him.

On Saturday we got together with some of our high school friends that live in UT now. It was so much fun seeing everyone.
For the big party Betheny and I made a cake. Unfortunately we didn't have time to make it as cool as we wanted to. It should have little fish all over the blue. Oh well, you do what you can when you have 4 kids running around. I am hoping to get into cake making; we will see how it goes.
The rest of the time we hung around the house and watched Benjamin torment Betheny's dog Paco. He just couldn't get enough of him.
We tried taking the train into Salt Lake but the cards were stacked against us that day. After missing 2 trains, a cracked windshield, leaving carpool kids at the school, a thunderstorm, and it costing double what we thought it would, we decided we weren't suppose to go for some reason. So we all stood at the station and waved goodbye to our train.
Thanks Beth for a fabulous week. We miss you!

You did have quite a busy trip. It was so fun to see everyone at the party. Thanks to both you and Betheny for getting that together. And the cake looked great and tasted great too.
