Catch up....

So now that we are done with Christmas :), I turn back in time and blog about our trip to Utah over the Thanksgiving holiday. Just a few weeks overdue. :)
Teage's brother Brook got married last month in Utah, and our family was grateful to be able to hitch our way down there to be a part of his special day. Well, we didn't actually hitch, we took a plane ride with Brett, Beth, and Kai, which was a lot of fun. And added bonus, this was the very first plane trip for the boys. And boy did they have two completely different reactions to this new experience. :) Dylan was so excited, couldn't stop smiling, and looked out the window the entire flight. Lucas, on the other hand, freaked out the minute he saw the plane, wouldn't stop crying for the first few minutes, and only calmed down once we were in the air and he realized the plane wasn't going to hurt him. :)
We had a fabulous time in Utah. The boys were able to spend a lot of time with their cousin Kai, as we stayed in the same hotel, we were able to spend a lot of quality time as a family, and we were able to see Teage's siblings and extended family that we don't see very often. Brook's wedding was beautiful, we were so thankful to be a part of it. And the woman that he chose is just amazing. I am so grateful to have her as a part of our family. Brook and Susie seem perfectly suited for each other, and I couldn't be happier for them. We were able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with Teage's family while we were there as well, which was nice since we don't see all of them often, especially on holidays. Overall, it was a fabulous trip. And it was wonderful to get away as a family for a while.
Congratulations Brook and Susie!


Gorgeous Susie with all of her inherited nieces and nephews. :)

Fun. Did you notice that even in this pix with all of the kids that Ethan is flashing his peace sign? Crazy kid must come from a crazy family!

This is kinda crazy, but I think Susie and Brook totally look like they could be brother and sister! I don't mean it in a creepy way, it is just wild how much they look alike!
Love all your pictures, especially your last one!
