Wedding in Utah

We went out to Utah for a quick trip to see Rob's brother tie the knot. We were lucky enough to be able to attend their wedding ceremony. Unfortunately we were unable to attend the rest of the festivities due to a stomach virus. This was what we spent most of our time doing...







Four out of five of us lived next to a barf bucket and spent some quality time on the porcelain throne. In fact, we had to cancel our flight due to sickness.

A day and a half later we arranged to take the Red Eye Flight home. That almost didn't happen because Rob started to feel queasy, but he vowed to make it happen so in order to avoid any problems he didn't eat the whole day. We made it home the next day in time for Rob to go straight to work.

And once we thought we had made the rounds and recovered, we ended up repeating it again, this time with just Garrett and Ty.

It made for an unfortunate week but aside from the chaos it was truly cause to celebrate.

Congratulations Dave and Lara!

Minor Details

This just so happens to be my birthday cake. This is the same type of birthday cake I have had since I was a little girl. After 10 years of marriage Rob has got it down to a science.

As you may have noticed candles seem to be a detail we tend to forget about. Rob found every kind of candle he could find adding up the numbers as the kids placed them in the cake. They almost made it, but were one shy. But, its just a number right? But, in case you are wondering about my age, I am 34. Keep note because if you ask me how old I am tomorrow I will most likely forget.
