Trip to Utah

Ryan decided that for his birthday, he wanted to take a ski trip to UT. We happened to luck out and find Southwest with a half-off deal there and back. So, we all decided to go. We went for a 4-day weekend, getting there around noon on Friday, and flying back about 7 on Monday night, so it was a good length. We really enjoyed the trip. It was especially nice to have all of Ryan's family together. Those not living in Utah decided to make the trip since we were coming. It's been a few years since we have been together, so it was wonderful. Thanks for making the trip!

Also, thanks for letting us stay with you, Dad and Mom. And Rich and Kim let us crash in on their house for large family gatherings, as usual. Thanks for being willing to have the chaos.

Mom and Dad picked us up at the airport. We went to lunch and then decided to check out some things on Temple Square. We got a tour of the Conference Center. Too bad the roof was closed because of ice.

Kimberly and Glade also really enjoyed the dogs. Glade even learned to say Cocoa.


That night we celebrated my birthday, again, on my actual birthday. Thanks for the delicious cake and gifts!



Ryan got his day of skiing, along with all of his siblings and his Dad.


My sister Mindy and her husband Scott drove down from Logan to see us and we got to meet our new niece Stephanie. She's a cutie!





Dusty and Leah had to go home Sunday night, but the rest of us all went to the Draper Temple open house. Kimberly was really excited to get to go inside of a temple. We really enjoyed it.
