A few weeks ago we took a trip out to Utah to visit Jeff and Brittany and meet our new little niece/cousin Paislee for the first time and be there for her baby blessing. We drove out all day Friday and on Saturday we were so lucky to have a day out on the lake with Brittany's family and their boat. We had a BLAST! The weather was perfect and the location was perfect at Lake Jordanelle. The kids loved going tubing with Uncle Jeff and Madelyn was loving the boat ride and helping drive the boat. Mark even got his fair share of fun in!




Mark had a little accident while he was wake boarding and believe it or not he did not hit the board. He got this swollen golf ball sized black eye just from slamming face first into the water so hard. It was pretty ugly. I'm just glad no stitches or emergency room visits were required.





Here's Mark wake surfing(different than wake
skating) for the first time...eventually you're supposed to let go of the rope and surf the wake right behind the boat! It was crazy!
Madelyn fell asleep on Brittany's dad's lap while driving the boat with him. It was really cute. Guess she got a little worn out from all the fun!

And finally, the whole reason we came to Utah was for Paislee's blessing day on Sunday which of course I didn't get many pictures of but these...Paislee's beaded socks that I made for her. Cute! And the adorable little family Jeff, Brittany and baby Paislee. It was so much fun seeing them and spending time with the family and snuggling sweet little Paislee! We love and miss them already!!

So I have officially become the worst at picture taking these days and I am so sad that I did not take a single picture with the family that we stayed with this whole time. We stayed with our really good friends Dan and Lori Brown and their three kids. Our kids were so excited to see Hannah, Nolan and Josh and they had such a blast playing with them every morning and night whenever we were around. I really wished we could have stayed longer in Utah to spend more fun time with them but it was still so nice to see them with what little time we had. We really do miss them here in California! It is nice to have someone to visit and stay with in Utah when we do go though! Thanks again Dan and Lori for everything! We had a blast!

Those socks are so cute! And that is so funny that Madelyn fell asleep there! Your kids have the cutest little smiles and always look so happy. Hopefully that's the case! =)
