Spring Break

For Spring break we all got to head down to Utah for a little break! Even Dustin got to come. I must say, the 6 hour drive is much better with him in the car too! :) We had lots of fun in Utah with Lisa, Lily, my mom, and my dad. We also got to see lots of family, and I got to go to lunch with my long, lost high school pals, Tana and Amos! It was a much needed and very relaxing trip!
Jack travels really great, and so does Chewie, but we did stop and buy some 25 cent toys at a gas station that kept Jack pretty entertained in the home stretch of the drive!
Jack was absolutely obsessed with Lily while we were there. I think he is gonna be a very (maybe too much so) helpful big brother!
We all really enjoyed hanging out with cute little Lily!! Dustin and I got to babysit her while Lisa was at work and school. We got a little taste of what it will be like with two little ones....

Me, Jack, and Lily
Seriously, the cutest! :)
Lisa and Lily at the Willow Park zoo.
Our little fam wit ha sweet peacock behind us! We actually had some cool experiences at the zoo. We got to see a peacock with its full feathers spread, heard coyotes howling for their food, and saw some bobcats.
Jack and Daddy playing on the slides!

We got to spend some time with cousins and celebrate Aubrey and Ryan's birthdays. Here is Miley, Jack, and Ryan on the horsie! (And yes, my son is a cheeseball!)
The cousins gathered around the cakes!

Jack entertaining himself on the drive home. The kid did not sleep the entire drive home!
Oh and probably the best and most important part of the trip for me was visiting this beautiful place!

I was able to go to the temple and receive my endowments. It was an amazing experience! My mom, dad, Grandma and Grandpa Belnap, Lisa, Rick and Stacy, and Kirk and Amy all joined me for my first time going through. It was overwhelming and wonderful all at the same time! I am thankful for my family who was there, a husband that loves me and supports me, the blessings that this experience will hopefully bring to my family and me, and for the faith that I have that one day I will be sealed to Dustin and my kiddos there for eternity!

congrats on going through the temple!!! that is so cool. a few weeks ago i was asked to escort my friend through them temple, and that was supper cool to be able to be with him and having that first temple experience all over again with getting to speak with the temple president and all. my dad is in the same place as you with not being sealed to his spouse (at least not yet) just know that if it doesn't happen in this life that you have an awesome son, that from what i have see, loves church and would be more then pleased to do the work for dustin. hopefully it will not take that long though ;).
