As much as we LOVE our families and love spending time with them... We've had just about enough of that drive...
This weekend was Luke's cousin's wedding up here in LOGAN and it was sooo cool to actually have a family event in our neck of the woods. The only problem was... it happened to be the same weekend that my sister's baby, Harley, was being blessed in PRICE so we couldn't even enjoy not having to travel.
After the wedding and reception on Saturday we headed down there. Luckily Luke is still working at night so we didn't have to come home until Monday. That really helped to ease "really sick of driving" feeling.
Both events were really nice though. The wedding was beautiful and it was so much fun having Luke's mom stay with us Friday night. We just wished that we could have spent more time with her and do more than wave to his dad as we passed each other on the road when he was coming into Logan and we were leaving.
The blessing was awesome and it was a hilarious to see all of the GIRLS everywhere! My family has 9 granddaughters and ZERO grandsons. Plus their ward was having 4 baby blessings so there were children everywhere in that chapel... and yet, I'm pretty sure Tianna was the loudest and rowdiest of all during the blessings. : S She was just too excited being surrounded by all of her cousins I guess...
I do have to say though, she is an awesome traveler and I thank her for it!
But alas............. I think we've decide to opt out of traveling for a little while. Not only are we mentally tired of making that drive but our pockets don't like it either. I mean honestly, $4 a gallon?!

a little update on the parakeet ordeal...
We actually got pretty excited about having a pet so when he died after only 6 hours in our care we thought we'd buy one... until we talked to the pet store guy and he said it's like having a 2 year old for about 10 years. (we already have one of those, thank you) Plus, you can't ever leave them for more than a day (and from above message, it's obvious that's a no-go) so... we decided no bird for us. But, the funny thing is... we buried Hermon under a tree in our yard and now Tianna goes to that spot and points at the ground and says, "Bird." It's quite funny...
And the pet store guy told us how easily they can die of silly things... so now I don't feel quite as bad about killing him.

Hey Mary! It was so great to get a comment from you! Your site is so cute! I hope everything is going well for you guys! We wanted to come see the show so bad, but none of our schedules would all work out for one night. Is there another one coming up that you will be in?
I don't blame ya from being sick of driving! Especially from Price to Logan! You have to drive through 2 canyons, which is not fun! And that's funny about the parakeet! I had no idea how much work they were. I always wanted onecuz I thought they were pretty, but not anymore! Too much work for me!
Hey guys I loved the updates and sorry I didn't get to see you while you were in this neck of the woods this time. Sounds like it was a whirl wind tour though...I loved seeing the pictures of Tianna and Aden together they really are quite the pair together:)! I am sad to hear you won't be driving down here lots but understand why. we love you all and miss you already :(,
Chirs, Monica, and Aden
thanks you so much for you kind words .
Glad to hear that the bird's death was no fault of yours, and a little disturbed with Tianna knowing the dead bird is burried in your back yard. Ha! I wonder how long she'll remember...
I know what you mean about traveling! We've limited ours to Price, too. It's such a joke! Here we live within just a few hundred miles of our families, and we can't even afford the gas to see them often enough. At least your family doesn't live thousands of miles away...
