8 days at my Aunt and Uncles

The big move to Utah, where we will probably be for quite a few years.
Our first and only problem...GETTING OUT OF REXBURG!
There was construction near the Madison/Jefferson county line and plus 2 accidents.
There were so many people turning around in the middle of the highway to get off the other exit. Until that is the police showed up and one officer pulled over 2 cars at the same time, haha! it was bound to happen. Before he got there we saw about 10 cars cross and get off hwy 20.
 We took the first turn we could get to after rexburg and took the back roads all the way to  bear world, saved a lot of time but still took forever!
 The cars all backed up! They were backed up north of the main rexburg exit all the way south to across the bridge at the county line near Menan.

 This was exciting to see. Some how we lucked out and went through Poky and got over the Malad pass in between snow storms.




Ok so for many reasons we had to be out of our place earlier than planned and then we were pretty much homeless for 8 days. I called my aunt Emily and asked the biggest favor I had to ask in probably forever :) She let us stay at our house while Brandon's brothers' house was finished and they finalized their new house. It was so stressful to keep my chaotic children from destroying their house :) but we made it and got into our Apartment.
Here are all the pics from staying at their house.




  














 The boys LOVED Uncle Lorin and wanted to help him with everything!






















First Weekend in Utah

Our first weekend in Utah Brandon's cousin Whitney got married in the SLC Temple. 
My BIL got this cute pic with Logan outside the temple.


 I really wanted to get a cute picture of all three little munchkins but Logan would sit still and Shay was not going to have it sitting in the grass. So here is my attempt.




He insisted on having a picture by the "beautiful water fountain!"


While we waited for the Luncheon to start at the Lion House, which by the way was amazing! We walked around and went to the church history museum.





Lunch time!


The wind picked up and I could not for the life of me get my dress to stay down! It was so frustrating! It went up over my head numerous times, hence my awkward position.
