We had birthdays and baby blessings. Danny spent a good part of the week working. But you had better believe we found a way to work in more fun!
To be honest, Danny's work trip was only a cover for the real reason we were in Utah. Kenny and Susie planned their wedding for that week. And I have to add, it was kind of just for us! They would have been married in August had it not been for my unpredictable delivery. We so appreciated them scheduling their big day so we could share it with them.
It was a wonderful event! There are SO many wonderful pictures, but most were taken by the actual photographer! :) The luncheon was wonderful, the ceremony was amazing, and the reception was a blast! I'm thinking this family is getting pretty good at throwing weddings now...right in time to take a break for at least a few years while Julie and Katie finish growing up! We're so excited for Kenny and Susie, and for their boys Braxton and Taven. Their union has strengthen so many testimonies and witnessed for everyone involved the deep love Heavenly Father has for his children.
Great Grandma Lovell came back from the Island Park a little earlier than she had planned in order to be there for Kenny's big day. We were glad, since it afforded us the opportunity to see her and show off her newest great grandson! Great Grandma and Johnny took to each other quite nicely!
The last adventure of the week was special for Danny. September in Utah means one thing to him...BYU Football! Since we were there over a Saturday, and there was a home game that weekend, we just HAD to get tickets. And Danny being the daddy he is, even got tickets for his little girls. Claire and Sophie are quite the Cougar Fans! Grandpa Call, Uncle David, and Uncle Robbie went as well, and everyone had a wonderful time!
Well, everyone had a great time right up until it was obvious we were going to lose. That put a slight damper on things... :)
While Danny and the girls were at the game, Johnny and I went to go visit Grandpa Richard and Ruth Ann. Unfortunately, I sent Danny with the camera, so I don't have photographic evidence of the visit, but trust me, it happened and was fun! Grandpa Richard loved holding Johnny, and so did Ruth Ann. We watched the first half of the game together before I had to head home. I'm looking forward to Christmas when the whole family can go visit, and Grandpa Richard can see how much the girls have grown.
That about sums up our trip home. It's always so wonderful to be there. I'm glad it'll only be a few months before we're back for Christmas!
