Utah family trip

J's really good friend from college was getting married in April so we decided to make a family trip to see J's dad before heading further north to the wedding.

E loves her Gpa Doyle, Gma Karen and Fergi dog

We stayed in their guest house (casita) and had to improvise for E to have her own space... (Please don't call CPS because we put our daughter in a closet-the doors were never fully closed). During her nap she figured out how to climb out and decided to rifle through all of our toiletries, making a huge mess-We don't really blame her because we left her no way to get out of the room so at least she was amusing herself

While bathing E , the hot water ran out, so by the time I tried to dress her she insisted on staying under the covers because she was so cold. I don't really blame her but it was funny trying to dress her fully covered by a comforter.

On Tuesday E got to spend the day with her cousin MertGirl and her two children so we could attend the wedding sans bebe. E had so much fun that she cried when we told her we were leaving . Thanks MertGirl for watching her and showing her such a good time.
J got to catch up with some of his college buddies over the course of the day since there was the ceremony, a luncheon plus the reception. We were tired by the end of the night but I could tell he didn't want to leave his friends. E had such a blast at the reception hall trying to sneak off and snag food from the buffet table whenever she could run away from us. In between events I was able to get some amazing pictures of all the gorgeous flowers around the temple. J was very patient as I was stopping every 3 seconds to capture another flower.

The newlyweds and us
This is one of my favs from the day because of the ruffled appearance. See my photo blog for more.
