Family Pictures

Even with Tessa getting cranky at the end and of course not smiling in hardly any of the pictures they still turned out so cute. I love my little family so much!

Suprise trip to Utah, kinda!

My sweet sister Ashley offered to fly Tessa and I out to see my brother before he left for his mission and after a lot of back and forth I decided that I would go. We first were trying to go out for his farewell but I worked that weekend and there are only two girls that work nights and they both couldn't cover my shift so that meant I couldn't go that weekend. I was so bummed that I had to miss his farewell plus my friends were all going to Park City that weekend for a girls trip so I was really sad I had to miss that as well. I ended up flying in a couple days before he left. Whit and Teig picked us up in Vegas and between missing the freeway exit, and stopping in every town for the kids, it took forever to get home! Ashley and the kids were there when we got home to give Jace his "present". They handed him an empty bag and then Tessa and I walked through the door. He came running towards us and nearly knocked Ash over trying to get to us. It was so fun to see his face light up when he saw us. I'm so thankful for Ash for being so kind and flying us out to see the family. There is nothing better than being able to be with my family.

 Saying goodbye to Jace for the next two years (it better be for two years).

My mom took us to Gardner Village after we dropped Jace off at the MTC. The shops weren't my style but it was such a cute little place to take your kids. 

We got to stop and see Jules and baby Emery on our way home from Salt Lake. I'm so happy that we were able to see them. We have been friends with Jules for about 8 years now, CRAZY that it's been that long! We sure love her and that sweet baby!

I love my Grandparents so much! 

I wish I had her black onsie with us but she still looked so dang cute on Halloween. I only dressed her up to take these pictures and my Dad thought I was nuts. Haha oh the things we do for our kids.
