These are just a few of the almost 400 pictures we took while on our trip ... starting from the Reception all the way to our first days in Utah.
Aunt Laura showing Joshua the finer points of slow dancing.
This was a rare moment where David actually looks like he enjoys dancing ... with his mother. I guess we should enjoy this moment now. It won't be long before we have to keep him away from girls.
The dancing at the Reception was a lot of fun. The kids really got into it.
The happy couple at the Red Iguana for the family lunch after the wedding. We actually saw this restaurant on Drive Ins, Diners and Dives on the Food Network. We've been here before years earlier and Davey and Uncle David had a salsa eating contest. This time Kella brought enough salsa game to the table that she can give the boys a run for their money.
Little Joshie really liked hanging out with Grandpa Mark.
The family just "chillin" after the wedding.
Who is this handsome dude? I think David is "voguing" (what do you think about that Madonna)? Can you say "Rico Suave?"
The wedding was really nice. You can tell that Rachael and David really love each other. The kids were great and we were glad that we could come up to Salt Lake City for the wedding.
We always enjoy hanging out with Grandpa Mark and Grandma Mindy. They are so much fun together.
Two sisters enjoyed their time together.
David and Savannah.
Kella and Brenna were like two peas in a pod. Kella slept over at her house almost every night we were in Utah. They had so much fun together. I know they would have lots of fun together and do things together often if we lived closer. Maybe someday ...
Grandpa at the grill ... showing how it's done.
Amy thought I was going to hurt myself doing this ... ouch ... I think I'm an inch shorter now.
One of the days we were in Utah we spent the morning and early afternoon at Temple Square. The kids enjoyed seeing the Temple. It is also a beautiful time of year with all the leaves changing.
Our beautiful Kella in front of the reflecting pool. She keeps mentioning that she wants to get married in the Salt Lake Temple someday. It will be awesome to see her get her picture taken here again in the future with her eternal companion.
We love going to Temple Square.
Joshie's favorite part of going up to Temple Square is riding the train into town. It is one of the traditions we keep every time we're in Utah. We did the same when David was little and he enjoyed riding the train just as much.
Little Lyssie and Grandpa Mark waiting for the train. Grandpa is so good with the kids.
One of the afternoons we were in Utah we went to the local pumpkin patch. The kids had a lot of fun running around the corn maze, sitting on tractors and picking out their own pumpkins. Joshie was so cute pushing around a little wheelbarrow.
I enjoyed pushing Amy around in a wheelbarrow. Crazy ... I had to let my hair down a little during the trip.
No ... not which one is my head ... look how STRONG I am.
One of the mornings we were there Amy and I had a wonderful opportunity to attend an Endowment session in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. We went with Mark and Mindy. It was a beautiful experience. I wish we could have spent more time doing more temple work and feeling the Spirit of the temple.
We also spent some time visiting friends in Utah. We lived next to the Frasures when we lived in Tremonton over 5 years ago. We had so much fun when we lived close that we always take the time to visit them when we're in Utah.
We also had the chance to visit the Norris family. They were our neighbors when we lived in Bakersfield. The kids played so well together in our little California cul-de-sac. When they moved to Utah the kids were so sad and the neighborhood wasn't as much fun. The kids were really looking forward to seeing Logan, Maddie and Meghan again. Amy misses living close to her friends like Lani.
One afternoon Grandma and Grandpa took us up into the mountains to pick autumn leaves and see the snow. There was just enough snow to make a 4" tall snowman. When the time in the snow was over, the twins were more than happy to get in the car since it was cold. They haven't had to worry too much about the cold living in California and Arizona.
Grandma Mindy is such a good sport and so much fun to be around. She's always creative and involves the kids.

As I mentioned before ... we had a great time in Utah. It was fun seeing everyone and we look forward to the next time we can go back. Our plan is for sometime in 2010.

what a great trip you guys had in Utah... Lani said on FaceBook you guys had stopped by.. (and that she tried to convince you to join FB) ha ha, FB is a great way to stay in touch with people, would love to see you guys on there!
How fun seeing pictures of your trip! You sure packed A LOT of stuff in. We LOVED it that you guys stopped by! It made my week and the kids are still talking about it.
That is such a precious picture of David dancing with you Amy.
We MISS you guys!
I am so glad your family had such a good trip. I think it is wonderful when kids can get a sense of extended family and get to know them. We love going to Utah and going to temple square, etc. Too bad we don't have immediate family up there any more.
