Our Trip To Utah

We left for Utah on Thursday April 3, 2008. We were so excited since we were finally going to meet parts of each others families. This is a picture of David and Lizzie as we were waiting to get on the plane in Long Beach. Lizzie was prepared for cold weather doesn't she look so cute? Lizzie did really well on the plane. The best part of the whole flight was when Lizzie pooped her jammies. It was all over the backside and smelled so gross. As we deplaned David had his arms stretched out wide with Lizzie and walking quickly to the restroom. David and Lizzie were in the family restroom for about 20 mins. cleaning her up. Then we were on our way to the Ray's. It was so good to see them. Their house is beautiful and we had such a great time visiting with them. As you notice there are only a couple pictures since my battery was dead the entire trip. We visited so many friends and family members while we were in Utah. It was tons of fun to see everyone and for them to all meet Lizzie. Everyone loved her. She got so much attention where ever we went it is hard for her to not be in anyone's arms now. Friday we went to David's mission reunion with the Cottle's. We were 1 of 2 missionaries who had a baby. It was great to meet so many of the missionaries David served with. On our way back to West Jordan to stay with David's Aunt and Uncle we saw Bekah and her boyfriend Spencer! We love him. He is so good for her. We met them in Cabella's parking lot late on Friday night. They were coming back from Spencer's reunion and we were coming from Provo. We had a great short visit with them. Then we were off to Aunt Judy's and Uncle Carmi's... It was so great to meet them. We had such a great time with them. David helped Uncle Carmi with the water pump for their backyard while Lizzie and I visited with Aunt Judy and talked about family history and getting to know us better. We were sad to leave but we had to leave and go to Park City and visit with Amanda and stay up at Marriott's Summit Watch Resort. It started to snow Sunday morning as we drove to conference. It was beautiful! Sunday morning Conference was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Music and the Spoken Word was my favorite part of Conference. The Mormon Tabernacle sang all of my favorite hymns. The Spirit was so strong, and made the session of Conference so remarkable. It was so neat to be there with the new 1st presidency and to hear everyone talk about our beloved prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. As we left conference the sisters on Temple Square were singing hymns and made the end of that session of conference so great. Then we met up with Amanda and had lunch with her, and then headed to a family party. It was great to see the family again since it had been about 6 years since I had seen any of them and everyone got to meet David and Lizzie. After the party we headed to Layton to visit an old friend of mine, Abby Smith and her family. We had such a great visit. I wish she lived closer. Then we headed back to Park City and all crashed. Lizzie slept the whole night and woke up at 8:45 am. When I woke up to get her a bottle I looked out the window and it was snowing! It was so beautiful. The whole morning we watched the snow fall and relax before we headed for the airport. We got some Cafe Rio and that made my tummy feel so happy.
Here are the few pictures I took at the end of our trip at the airport. Lizzie and her Grammy and David and Lizzie before boarding the plane to come back home to California.

We had such a great vacation in Utah. We crammed a lot of visits in during our 4 day adventure but it was so worth it. Thanks to our families and friends who made our trip so enjoyable.

Now we need to prepare for our Trip to Hawaii....
