November in Utah

November in UTAH!

I got to spend a whole month in Utah with my family and friends. It was fantastic! Josh loved playing with all his cousins and seeing his BFF Pac Man and girl friend in 18 Years Charlotte.   

I FINALLY got to see and hold my new niece Brooklyn. What a doll! couldn't get enough

Josh loves playing rough with Uncle Dave

We got to go to the Dinosaur Museum with 3 of Mommy's Best Friends and Their fun boys.

Our Redheaded buddy didn't want a pictures taken, don't let his screaming face deceive you, the boys had a great time running around the museum of dinosaurs

Daddy got to go duck hunting with his buddies

When goes sees any ducks (flying or waddling) he says, "Duck daddy shoot gun...."

While pointing his curious "tinger" Josh says to chase "Duck, Doing?"

Even though we went on a beautiful relaxing awesome couples retreat for 7 days alone, our temple experience was the most memorable and amazing moment of our whole trip home. The Brigham temple was BEAUTIFUL! What an awesome experience. What an amazing blessing for us to have the temple and Gospel in our life.
