We spent most of the second week in Utah in Provo. We got to stay at the top of this building in downtown Provo. It was awesome! It felt like we were far away in a different town -- like we were really on vacation in some new place like downtown Manhattan.
The view from one of the bedrooms
Jacey enjoying a bubble bath
Karissa got married on August 14, 2008. This was right before we went to the temple -- her first time!Brooke, Karissa, and my cousin Denice
The happy couple before their endowment
We had lots of fun relaxing at the Roneys. They were so nice to us and we got to visit and the kids got lots of play time in with their kids. Jacey saying, "This is the life."
Jared and Ariana
Going down the slide
Jaden going off the diving board. He has become quite the swimmer this year. So nice.
The amazing view from the pool.
John and Jaden
Jaden getting thrown
Funny Karson. He walked around like this -- with all the goggles on him -- for a while.
We have to take our tradional trip to BYU. In the Cougar Eatery.
Jared says- "They have ice cream at college??? Cool! I'm going to college."
We have to stop at the BYU Barber for haircuts.
We always take a picture here in front of the library.
Here's the shot from 2 years ago.
And Now
Playing with 2nd cousins
Out to dinner at Chuck-a-Rama -- Karson
Jackson -- happy boy
Aunt JoAnn and Uncle Rich
Wedding day -- just out of the temple
Karissa and Mik
The other happy couple
Hanging out during the pictures
More hanging out -- Look how tall Kody is!!
Karissa and Mik at the luncheon -- I love this picture
Kody with Apple -- the bride and groom's baby
At the reception
Jackson enjoying a waffle cone
This water looks so neat.
Beautiful!
Jaden lost his first tooth while we were gone.
The tooth fairy brought him $3.
We were supposed to make one more stop in Cedar City to spend the night with some friends in a cabin, but it didn't happen. We had a great time, but we were so exhausted. Our patience was wearing thin and everyone was getting grumpy, so we skipped that last part. Darn. This picture is of John and Jacey on the side of the road in the Mojave Desert. Jacey insisted she had to go to the bathroom, so he pulled her out of the overflowing-with-stuff van and stood out in the heat, but she wouldn't go.
Does he look frustrated and ready to get home?
This little boy was such a good traveler. Other older kids -- whose names I won't mention -- cried way more than this one. We came home with one day to get ready before school started. We need a vacation from our vacation -- just parents though this time. :)
