It's always nice to go home

I love love love going home. It's so nice to be surrounded by family for a change. Being so far away really makes you appreciate the time you can spend with them. We just got back from Utah, which was full of family events, and we loved every minute of it!

We started off the trip by welcoming home Elder Bench from his mission in Texas!

Welcome home Nate!

We spent the next week in Fairview where Connor got to know his cousin Addy a little better

yee haa!





where's the dog?

there he is!

We had lots of time to relax and play

he loved riding the horse

he's a huge fan of the guitar

you can call me Mr. Bench

he can be a little silly

And last but not least, Aaron and Annie got married! Yahoo!!!

Then Jared flew home and Connor and I stayed to play in Salt Lake for a while. We did lots of catching up with friends, played golf at Jeremy (yes I beat Wade one day in case you were interested), went swimming lots, went to the zoo, and played a lot with cousins. What really put the icing on the cake was that Bryce and Karen were able to come up from Las Vegas with their kids. It was so fun!
