Quick trip to Sacramento

The kids and I headed up to Sacramento for Benson's blessing. This is Benson. Isn't he adorable? I took this while I was holding him (therefore the sideways shot). We were supposed to head up Saturday, but I felt sicker than sick and was worried about driving by myself (Garth needed to stay behind for work.). So, I did just about nothing ALL day Saturday and then left EARLY in the morning on Sunday to get to the blessing. We were all really bummed to miss Weston's birthday party on Saturday, but were so glad to be there for the blessing. And of course the snuggle time with Benson (I felt fine...Saturday must of have been an allergy induced thing...I hate allergies!) and the play time with Weston!

Me. With Benson. Looking tired-but hopefully you can get the happy out of it. (Me, not Benson-he is adorable.) ;-)

Quick Stop...by the Bowdens

On our way back from Farmington we stopped by the Bowdens. Wow has it been awhile since we have been able to catch up! It was great to see them, their kids, and just find out how everything is going. Our kids definitely love Uncle Jeff and Aunt Merrit!

Utah Snow

We headed to Utah after Christmas to enjoy some time with my parents and some snow. We brought Noel along (Shelby's friend) because we just adore her. (In case you start counting and get to more than 6...)

He LOVES the cold stuff!
