Conference Weekend in Utah

For General Conference weekend we headed down to Utah to spend a little time with family. It was kind of one last hurrah trip before Dustin starts basketball season. (It starts on Friday...oh the lonely nights are a'comin!) We didn't get to see my mom much...she was off on a girls weekend with her mom and sisters, but my bros Rick and Kirk and their families came up to Logan as well for the weekend, and Lisa and Brycie live there already, and my daddio was home, so we were able to get in some quality time with family and listen to the prophet and leaders of our church speak. It was a fantastic weekend getaway. Jack absolutely loved playing with and getting attention from his cousins. He also got an early present from Aunt Stacy, Uncle Rick, Riley, Conner, Aubrey, and Wesley. The kids were very excited to help him open it.

What is it....very excited to be opening a present and getting SO much attention!

A ball popper! Yay! These are seriously such a fun and entertaining toy. Jack loves it. He and the other kids pretty much played with it constantly all weekend. Here is Jack playing with it and having a grand old time:

All the kids got to have a big slumber party downstairs (except for babies who were in with parentals). Doesn't it look fun? Those were the days! Cousins are the best!

It rained most of the weekend. (Plans for fall family pics had to be cancelled) but Sunday it was finally nice enough for the Cabin Fever ridden children to go outside. Here is Uncle Bryce with Drew, Aubrey, Wesley, and Jack

Jack also got to see Great Aunt Pat and Great Grandma Belnap for a minute on this viist:

We had so much fun playing games one night! We were all laughing so hard and stayed up probably a little too late, but it was good times. We were laughing constantly as we played Outburst and Catch Phrase, then things go kind of intense during Scattergories....bed time! But it was a great time! I sure do love my family. Never a dull moment when we all get together! Good times, good food, good company. It was a fun little weekend!

What a fun weekend! I'm so glad you were able to spend time with the fam. Those ball poppers are great! We have one too and it's had plenty of use. That picture of your basement brought back memories of when we spent the night at your house a time or two. Too fun.

Jack and the rest of the little cousins are getting so big!!

I totally understand the lonely nights due to basketball season. Mike's second season he had 27 away games! It looks like you had a great time in Logan. Jack is darling-and those eyes!!!
