Utah Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend in Utah!

There was a lot of hugging and mugging going on!

Jim flew to SLC on Thursday for some business appointments. Thanks to his frequent trips on Southwest Tessa and I were able to fly to SLC on Friday.

We stayed at Wynn and Emily's and I think we were the first guests in the newly completed basement - everything looked great and the bed was very comfortable. Thanks for letting us stay! We love you!

The girls had lots of fun with the kids too!

And we enjoyed chips and salsa from Los Hermanos with Addie!

Tessa spent Friday night with Cali in her dorm room. They both managed to sleep together in Cali's twin bed!

Tessa is not sure how she is going to like sleeping in a small twin bed when she goes to college after sleeping in her "Princess" queen sized bed!

This week was deJong week for the Young Ambassadors - it is the one time during the school year that they perform on campus at BYU. Since this was our last time to see Logan perform as a Young Ambassador we couldn't miss the opportunity!

The show was also taped by BYU TV so those of you who get that channel may want to watch the schedule for it!

Jim saw the show Thursday night along with Grandma and Grandpa Wilkes and Dave and Tricia before they flew to Arizona on Friday for Mark and Celeste's temple sealing.

Our whole family attended the show Friday night. Of course it was amazing and Logan was terrific!

We also saw the show Saturday night too. Prior to the Saturday night show we were able to join the cast and crew backstage in the Green Room for their preshow devotional. Logan was conducting and speaking. It was an amazing experience and one that left his mother in tears!

We couldn't take photos during the show but here is one of them warming up prior to the show!

Of course no trip to Utah would be complete without at least one trip to Cafe Rio (we made two this trip) and a visit to Tai Pan Trading (thanks to Emily for going with me) and then there was the stop at Smart Cookie and after show treats at Brick Oven Pizza.

We also found a fun new bakery where we enjoyed some yummy cupcakes and sugar cookies - Sweet Tooth Fairy!

The whole family attended church this morning at Logan's ward - it was nice to go all together. Thanks to Clark for volunteering to get up early to go with us! We stayed for all three hours so Jim could go to Priesthood with Logan where he was teaching the lesson. We headed to the airport right after church.

It's good to be home but I miss my college kids already!!
