Road Trip

The kids, my mother and I went to Utah last week for my dear friend Sarah's wedding. The weekend was amazing. I'm so very grateful to my mother for watching the kids while I attended a live session at the Manti Temple followed by Phil & Sarah's sealing. It was such an amazing experience to sit across from Sarah while her & Phil were sealed. I couldn't help but get all emotional and teary eyed. While giving Sarah a hug, she commented that "Who would have thought that we'd ever be here (in an LDS temple together.)" And, she was right. I didn't expect this for my life, but I love it and couldn't ask for anything more.

The only thing that would keep Leah happy in the car was chocolate.

I guess she takes after her mother.

Braden was kept happy by the portable DVD player that we borrowed from Grandma Sorensen. I couldn't get him to take his eyes off of it even for a picture.


Sarah's reception was beautiful. She did such an amazing job decorating, and she even designed her own wedding dress. I was so excited that Jillian was able to come from Vegas to the reception. We hadn't seen each other in almost a year.




Braden & Leah were real troopers this weekend. They rode in the car for hours, were hauled all over the state and expected to be on their best behavior for all of it. (I atleast want my friends to think I have perfectly behaved children.) All in all, the kids truly were wonderful. Sure, Leah hated her carseat and hardly rode in it, but what one year-old doesn't?




All weekend long, I wanted a fabulous family picture.



We tried.
