A fun filled weekend

This weekend started out with driving to Mark's family's house. We got there a little earlier than we'd planned and his parents were out at a dinner. On the way down Brigham stated- Mom I feel really sad because our family is all over the place. This is after Alex had stated something about being excited all day to see his family. Brigs then stated that when we were at Island Park he was happy because so many of our family was there.

Saturday was didn't see much of Mark's dad as he was in meetings. His Dad got released as Stake President. It was nice to be there, and I could kind of picture what it was like when my dad was released a few months earlier as a counselor. It was a bit of a long day for the kids as we were in the chapel over 3 hours and then we made them stay in their Sunday clothes. (They weren't too happy about that). My brother blessed his little son, Travis, which we drove to see. That was really nice. We were sad not to see much of them, but had a lot of fun chatting with them before the blessing.

This is the only picture that I was able to get the whole weekend. Here is Lissie with the goggles as we drove to my bro's family's place. This is also the only nap the kids got. Well the kids were tired, so I didn't take the goggles off for the blessing, to limit the amount of chaos.
It was really nice. Then we headed back to dinner with Mark's fam for a quick bite to eat before heading back home. It was nice to be there with everyone, and missed those we weren't able to see. Taylor did finally reach the point where the only people who could help him were Mark and I, though everyone was great to help out and offer to help. We're glad we could be there for these 2 special occassions. Thanks to all for accomodating us!
