Utah Trip

A few weeks ago Scott, the boys and I took a quick trip down to Utah for a funeral. We were accompanied by Scott's parents, his older brother Jason, and his wife Lisa. Planning for this trip was done on a whim; this particular funeral was unexpected. The funeral was for Scott's mom's cousin...not exactly sure what the title would be to Scott...second cousin?? It was an emotional, yet beautiful funeral. The funeral was only about 30 minutes outside of Salt Lake, so Scott and I decided to stay an extra day to visit Salt Lake, and one of my best friend's Melina.

The replica of the Salt Lake Temple is amazing, and definitely worth your while to go see.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time that Spencer has stayed in a hotel...and he is on cloud 9 everytime. He loves to go in the elevator, find our room #, swim in the pool, go get ice, go to the vending machine...he gets so hyper. Spence thinks it's hilarious to make funny faces for the camera...one thing that drives me insane when I'm trying to get a good picture. Isn't that something that teenagers do??...but a 3 year old?..sometimes funny, yet very irritating.
It was so nice to see my friend Melina. We grew up together..literally, I don't know if a day went by when we didn't see each other. We only got to see each other for a few hours one evening, but it was so fun...we walked around Temple Square and then went out to eat. The next day, which was Sunday, Scott and I walked around temple square, listened to a few presentaions in the visitors centers, walked around the conference center and then came home. It was really nice to get out of town, and definitely need to stay longer next time.
