no No NO

We had two big family get-togethers in the past week and i didn't take a single picture at either...LAME. but they were great. Thanks to the hosts!

coltons,
perry and angela were kind enough to plan a get together while grandma and grandpa colton were here. it was great. great food. great people. great times. te chicken was the bom.com :) and seeing everyone was ok too lol. ;) i always like going to their house. perry and angela's house always holds a special place in my heart because i saw them the most groing up because they also lived in texas when i did, brooke's my age, and perry is closest in age with my dad, but mostly because they lived in texas. i was glad to see stacia about to pop, and i'm so excited for her baby coming, and same with jinhee besides the popping part (she had morning sickness and isn't due for a while so her belly is still tiny, but not for long!:) it was good to see everyone's kiddo's and makes me look forward to when abby's older.

i was lucky enough for the stars to align to plan a trip to logan to see robert, bridget, remington, babyontheway, kathryn, lance, and kathryns good friend (i'm bad with names). kathryn was down here for her temple tour and lance came down to see family and friends and get an idea of where to live in january and talk to his couneslor at byu. we had a blast at their house which was way cool to see because robert built it with his own two hands and it's in a beautiful area. they've got a dog just like tyson's parent's brittney spaniels, hay, horses, and a really sweet sand box :). lance seems to be doing great and adjusting to nonmissionary life well (not that you're ever really done being a missionary). and kathryn will be adding i think 5 temple sights this trip logan, draper, ochre mountain, brigham city sight, and bountiful...kudos to this wonderful goal. we had an awesome time and wish we could have stayed longer. the dinner was delicious with vegtables from their garden and fish robert caught. it was so nice to just sit and chat while looking through all their picture books and family history books.

when we got to robert and bridget's abby had fallen asleep wiht the ring in her hand,  or the other way around.  :)

 and this is what the neighbor hood up there looks like just down the road:

absolutely gorgeous! even on a rainy day!
