I should start at about 1 week before we went to Utah.. .my sister Shemay can to visit... all the way from California, we had a great time, mostly just sitting around talking. I am so lucky to have such wonderful sisters!
On Friday the 13th, we left for Utah. Jason's sister Jess was getting married the next day to Silly Gordo (his name according to Bryce). I can't believe how smoothly everything went getting to the airport and through security. We checked in and checked our bags in about 5 minutes. Then went to security and saw a long line. We thought, oh well, that is why we are here early. Then the pointed us to the 'Family' line and we walked around all those people and had to wait for 1 person ahead of us. Luckily no body scans were necessary! They had a great little play area near our gate, so the boys were entertained while we waited.
When it was time to board, we walked up to the gate right as they announced first class passengers and those with small children... so we walked right on! It was great. Here was Bryce on the plane, he was so excited for his first plane ride. Both boys were soooo good. We are very lucky... and of course the help of gameboys are always appreciated.
We arrived in SLC on time, then headed to Logan to stay over night there for the wedding the next morning. We stayed up waaay too late, but had fun seeing all the family that night at the hotel. The next morning started with a Brunch, here are a few pictures:

The night before we left, Gordo and Jess stopped by after their honeymoon to say goodbye. We are just so happy for them!
We had such a great time in utah, so excited to have the chance to celebrate with the family the marriage of Jess and Gordo. They are so great together, and are so happy.
After we got home, I promptly put Bryce to work on dishes.. for some reason he still thinks its fun.. Our littlest scrubber!
