Arizona Trip and Wedding

In August, we headed to Arizona for my "little" brother's wedding to Shannon! It was a great trip! We got to see both sides of the family and enjoy the cousins and fun times.

Here's the cousins on Kody's side all playing together.....along with uncle Kolten
 
We also celebrated Kody's 31st Birthday! Happy Birthday!!


Here's Kody and his dad loading up our trailer of our stuff we brought back from the farm, since we ended up not moving back to Arizona.


Grammy and the kids playing games and having fun around the pond


Jefferson loved seeing the fish and ducks in the pond at the farm!

The cousins getting all wet and slippery on the tramp!

Some pictures of the gardens at the farm. Kody took some of these from the top of the windmill. So pretty!



 
The boys loved playing on the tractors
 

Grammy and Papa and the kiddos



After we spent some time at the farm we headed to Phoenix to see my side of the family. A BIG thanks to my favorite cousin Audrey for letting us stay with her and enjoy their pool!

 
My brother Casey and Shannon got married in the San Diego Temple, so all the adults flew from Phoenix to California for the day for the sealing and luncheon. It was a nice day date for all of us with no kids....so nice we all wanted to at least stay the night and enjoy the 75 degree weather instead of the 105 degrees in Phoenix. It was a lovely day!




Yea for Casey and Shannon!


A big kudos to my brother and his socks. I think they ROCKED! All the groomsmen had the same socks too, they were Awesome!




Back in Phoenix we enjoyed a splash park with the cousins.....since being in water is one of the few enjoyable things to do in AZ in August.

My little ox Jefferson and I. The flash was a bit bright!


After the wedding we headed home on our 24 hour trek. The kids all traveled great, the trailer pulled really nice and smooth and it was SOOOO nice to have our suburban back! We all fit comfortably and have room to spare. I love it! It took us nearly exactly 24 hours to get home and we drove straight through. We had a great trip and loved being able to see everyone (expect Shayna, Chris, and Trace.....missed your guts guys!) And we're so happy for Casey and Shannon, they are so cute and will do great together!
