Denise's Wedding

Next item of busines (and the reason why we drove up early) was to attend Denise's (Matt's cousin) wedding. So I'd been telling Jackson and the kids that we were going to get to go to another temple. When we pulled up, I said, "we're here!". Jackson looked out the window and exclaimed, "That's not a temple... That's a giant CAKE!" I love that kid.
We got to see Cindy and Audrey met little Cylie. (Blake and I actually met her when we were in Utah earlier- we did a surprise drop by after the football/soccer game and visited with Mom and Dad who were visiting. Another fun surprise story from that weekend.)
Denise looked so beautiful. Her dress was exquisite! Craig was also on cloud nine. He looked like he'd just won the lottery... You actually won much more than that. Congrats. you two.
Jackson playing with "his friend". Uncle Howard lets Jackson hang all over him once again.
What a beautiful day- totally worth the trip to see all of Matt's family, even without Matt.
We love them all!

Chase's first Motorcycle Ride

Chase was a little hesitant, but caught on quick and LOVED Grandpa's motorcycle ride. The line of kids was long, and they were all grand kids, but Grandpa gave everyone a ride or two... or three.

Visit to LOGAN

Next item of business was to head North. Jen goes to Utah State, so we wanted to see her place, spend more time with her, and check out her "friends":) We even went to work with her. She takes pictures at the mall and she's good! Connor got his pictures taken and we fit in a little shopping as well.
Next we went to her intramural volleyball game. This was serious stuff- the semi's. Jennifer got some major air and they pulled off a win! Way to play Ferf!
Her apartment was SO nice. She has her own room with a walk-in closet and attached bathroom. It's decorated all cute and coordinated. She's a princess and she knows it.
We love hanging out with the girls. But Jen had homework and we had tired boys so we had to call it a night. (Somehow Benson, Andrew and Connor didn't make it in this picture)
GO AGGIES!!

Cadence's Birthday Party

We lucked out and got invited to Cadence's birthday party and Jumpin' Jacks! Boy did the kids have a blast!
The kids could have jumped for 10 more hours! Happy Birthday Cadence!
Sam was being so cute with the kids.
Chase was VERY hesitant at first but I made him get on and after testing it slowly, he got the hang of it.
Audrey was right by his side, playing and watching out for him. She loves him and he loves her right back.
At the end, the kids got an awesome goody bag with Jungle toys. Jackson couldn't believe he got a cougar since that's what he wants to be for Halloween and Chase surprisingly didn't want to take his off. I looked back in my rear view mirror after driving home and he was sitting back there with it still on. He went around the next couple of days growling at everybody. Thanks Sam and Jessie- it was so fun playing with you guys!
