So 16 days after Carter was born I took on the impossible and traveled alone with Mav (2 years old) and Carter (16 days old) on a plane to Utah for my Sister-in-Law, Jessica's Wedding. Ryan couldn't miss school so he followed up on Friday but me and the boys left on Wednesday. They allowed Kami to come back with me and help until we got on the plane. Mav fell asleep the whole way but before take off and boarding the plane he was freaking out!!! Kami had battle scars by the time she left the airport! Haha! =) I was so grateful for her help. Carter did great on the plane he was just wide awake for 3 hours! He has never been awake that long. We landed in Utah and my in-laws picked us up. It was so good to see everyone and it was there first time to see Carter so I am glad we went. We were pretty busy with wedding stuff the whole time and I was up with Carter during the night so I was pretty exhausted until Ryan got there. I didn't take a whole bunch of pictures either cause I just felt like I was running around like crazy the whole time being a single Mom for a couple of days. The wedding and temple ceremony turned out beautiful. Jessica did a great job with planning everything and looked beautiful and as happy as could be on her wedding day. I still don't know Dane very well since we were there for such a short time and so busy with everything but we will get to spend time with them at Christmas. They are super cute. Jeffrey, Ryan's youngest brother, left on his mission the following Wednesday too. So when I left to go home on Monday morning Ryan's flight did not leave until Monday night. He was able to spend the whole day with his family without us around. Which was really nice bonding time. They went up to the canyon went fishing. It is so beautiful up there this time of year. It makes me miss Utah. Here are the few pictures we did get after the wedding was over. Pretty much just pictures of the canyon and all of sleeping cause we were so tired. Haha. =)

| If he could, he would totally abandon society and do this all day long. |
All in all the trip was way worth it. Not sure if I will ever travel that soon after having a baby again but we were glad we were able to be there to spend time with our family.
Love,
ME
