Our dear friends, the Potters, had a precious baby boy about four months ago.
We were so excited to meet baby Logan on this trip and we couldn’t resist taking some family photos of this cute little family. We love these guys!

Can’t wait til our boys can meet each other and become bestest buds.

We also got to spend some more time with my nephews Sam and Max.

They loved making their own action movies:

We finished off our vacation with a trip to the Training Table. Air had never been there, and usually we spend these trips doing things that Air has never done!

Sadly he wasn't too impressed, instead he got pretty sick… thanks Training Table. Never again!

And then we said our goodbyes to everyone and packed our car as full as it can get!

And we hit the road…

It was a very pleasant drive after all, we only stopped at a few extra rest stops. No problem.

It was hard to say goodbye, but it makes it much easier knowing that we’ll see my parents again in just a few months when they come to Canada to meet a baby boy! We can’t wait to have them!


The best part of our vacation? Having Air all to myself at last! He is one busy man.

20120519 baby shower (45) edit

While I was in Utah, my sisters were kind enough to throw me a baby shower at Gwen's home. So many awesome people came! I was so happy I got to see lots of my aunts, cousins, friends, grandmas and even my grandpa!! Have I mentioned that I have the best family and friends in the world??

We had some fun games going on too. Scrapbooking upstairs and ‘guess who the baby is’ downstairs.

My Linda is so creative… chocolate sushi! She also served as my photographer and took ALL of these pictures. Amazing woman.

20120513 Mothers day (3) edit

Mother's Day came. I wasn't allowed the satisfaction of saying it was my first, since nobody believes I'm an actual mother until I have an actual baby to take care of. Pshh... haha! I did get flowers at church though! Once again, I had to leave them in Utah for my Dad’s flower bed. I just don’t think they’d like them at the border?

We celebrated with the whole family.

These handsome men are my Dad and brothers, who prepared the most delicious meal for all of us!

The following week was full of family as well! We visited my brother Tyler's family in Lake Point, had dinner, went to my niece's violin performance and stayed a night with them.
I was horrible at taking pictures this week, but we did get a few videos from our iphone this day!


Also, Ty and Missy just finished part of their huge backyard. A SPLASH PAD! Nice.

The next day we just walked next door to my sister Gwen's new gorgeous home!
We really enjoyed visiting with Gwen during the day, talking about having babies and such, we toured their house for the first time since it’s been done, helped her set up for my baby shower and then we had dinner with them! Gwen’s boys are so adorable…

The next night we went to my sister Heather’s house, we played with their kids, stole all of her baby stuff (THANK YOU HEB), and watched a movie on their new comfy sectional. I have no pictures!! Gah!

We had so much fun with Gwen's, Tyler's and Heather’s families this week... It is the best thing in the world to be able to go to all of their houses one by one and spend time with them and their kids...

The next day we went up to Salt Lake to walk around the new City Creek Mall next to Temple Square… Another beautiful day as you can see.
