Five Weeks of Nothin' But FaNtAsTiC!

We had such a great time in Utah. The kids definitely miss their cousins and being a part of such a close-knit group. Both Mac and Jaxton cried when we told the cousins "goodbye" and kept asking why we couldn't stay. Mac kept telling Nate that there were a lot of stores that he could work at for a job and that we didn't need to go back to NC just for a job.





Myles and Hailey got married the last day that we were in Utah and it was a beautiful day. Their sealer was Joseph F. McConkie and it was very cool to hear everything insightful that he had to say.

Their reception was held that night in Hailey's backyard, which included a pool, waterfall, playground, hot tub, volleyball court, etc. We had been telling the boys all night to stay away from the waterfall/pond and they had actually done well to listen. We made it all the way to Myles and Hailey's send off when Jaxton appeared completely wet from the waist down, with sand and grass caked on him. Come to find out he had got in the pond and then to dry himself off he had put sand and grass all over him. After he told me the story he was quiet for a minute and then he said, "What the crap was I thinking?" The kid is hysterical!


Mac and Jaxton took swim lessons at the SV pool (talk about childhood memories) while we were there in Utah. On the last day each of their classes got the opportunity to jump off the diving board if they wanted to. Both Mac and Jaxton were up to the challenge and Jaxton got up and did it with no problems. Mac on the other hand, tiptoed his way up, looked down at his teacher, and then as he jumped he screamed at the top of his lungs so everyone could hear, "I'M GONNA DIE!" But when he came out of the water he had a big smile on his face and wanted to do it all over again.










Until next year . . .
