Our Trip to Utah!

We had such a fun time on our weekend getaway to Utah! We had lots of things to do and lots of things we wanted to do! We started our trip off on Thursday. We got to the airport on time just to see that our flight was delayed! What a way to start off our trip! Our flight was only delayed for an hour. We flew into Denver where we got to switch planes and then wait on the plane for another hour while they were de-icing the plane. Oh the joys of flying! We finally made it into Utah 2 hours later then we thought.
Friday we got up and got to work! We went and found Hattie a blessing dress which I absolutely love and wish I could dress here up in it everyday! We got things ready for the blessing. Friday night Landen got to have a sleepover with his cousin Kenzi.
On Saturday we woke up bright and early and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Barkers for a cousin breakfast. When we were little we would sleep over at Grandpa and Grandmas and they would get up in the morning and make animal pancakes. Well now since most of us are older we don't get to do that anymore. They thought that it would be fun to get us all together and have breakfast together and they were right. It was so much fun and I am so glad we were able to go.
Saturday afternoon we made the drive to American Fork where Ty's family lives. Ty was able to baptize our nephew Braxton while we were there. We also were able to celebrate Brakell's 3rd Birthday.
Sunday we got up and all got ready to go to church. Ty gave Hattie a beautiful baby blessing. I am so grateful for a husband that can do that for our children. He is an amazing man and we are truly blessed. After the baby blessing we all headed over to my parents house for a luncheon. The house was packed with family and friends. It was so much fun to be able to catch up with everyone!
Monday we were supposed to fly out, but due to the weather we got a phone call that said our flight had been cancelled and rescheduled for Tuesday! Oh how sad we were! NOT!! My mom had already planned to have everyone over for a Thanksgiving dinner so everyone came over and ate and ate and ate some more. Then we spent the rest of the night just hanging out. It was so much fun. (So can you tell that we had so much fun!!)
Tuesday we got up and headed to the airport. Our flight was on time! (YEAH!!) Then we got to Denver and once again we were delayed because of electrical problems, but we finally did make it home (3 hrs later than we were supposed to) and we were so glad to be back. (Not really, but we are trying to convince ourselves! We are just not big fans of the weather here in Nebraska! Love the people not the weather!) Here are a ton of pictures from our trip!

Grandma and Grandpa Loveless with Hattie

Porter playing on the swing set. (Notice the Ken doll on the ground behind him. He discovered Barbies while at Grandma and Grandpa Barkers house. He carried them around everywhere he even took one out to Grandpa's truck when we were leaving. He thought he could take it home. Thanks to Grandpas brilliant idea we switched the doll with a car and he was still happy as can be! Thank goodness!! I don't think we are ready for Barbies yet! (Especially for Porter)

The Loveless side cousins!
