UTAH VISIT

At the beginning of October we went to Utah to see friends, family, and to watch General Conference. It was a short visit, but a great one. We got to see Aunt Ann and Uncle Daryl. It was a really good visit, and Westin had a great time shooting a wafer disc gun with Uncle Daryl. Wes has some really loving and supportive aunts and unlces, and Ann and Daryl are definately 2 of them.

We like to visit the Monte L. Bean Museum at BYU when we are there and thought Westin would love it. He mostly loved running around. I would have liked to have spent more time at my alumni campus, but we didn't have time or energy for that. We had driven through the night again, which is still our best strategy, but does leave us a little more tired than usual.



Us with Todd, who served with Wes in Mexico, and his two sweet kids, Lorenzo and Lilly.



Westin had such a fun time playing with these two. They were such great little hosts to him.




Todd and Aubry were awesome in getting us tickets to a session of General Conference. This nutty picture of Wes is all we have to show for it, but it really makes me laugh. It was nice just to sit and listen, with friends, and to be motivated and uplifted without the distraction of kids. Aubry's family watched them for us...super nice.


The amigos.



Jade warmed up to Aubry well toward the end. Aubry and Todd were so nice to let us stay with them. They were more than generous with us and we had a great time. They are really good people.



I got to see two of my bests friends, Amanda and Christi. It all started when we were 7, so it is always great to get in a reunion, no matter how brief.
