We Came We Went We Conquered

It has been a while since we have updated our lives....I am slacking on my journaling skills. Needless to say... We just returned from our annual trip to Utah. I have to say we packed our days full of different activities and returned home so exhausted! That's what vacations seem to do to us, right?....we need to take one after going on one. We started out with a fun trip to Lagoon with Papa George and Grandma Laura and all the Copeland cousins. I have to say I was so impressed with my little Sydney...she was fearless. She went on every huge ride at lagoon. She was just so happy to finally be tall enough to ride. 46 inches was a big deal at our house! She surprised me when she loved the new roller coaster "Wicked" I came off in tears and she came off laughing. Who knew that the girl who goes into fetal position every time it rains would be so brave and daring! It was also interesting to see Jaxon shun anything scary. He was my timid one the entire day only going on kiddie rides. However the highlight for him was when his dad won him a Phoenix suns teddy bear by making a few baskets.

The very next day we drove down to St. George with all the Wilson clan. We stayed in my moms friends house down there. We loved using their pool, going out to eat, shopping, golfing, seeing Les Miserable at Touacan, and having water fights. The highlight of the entire trip and the reason for the trip was to see my Grandpa and Grandma Bryant be sealed to their three children (My mom being one of those three). It was such a great thing to witness, after 82 years my mom now belongs to an eternal family.

The kids and Shane (Kate's husband) had a huge water fight in the back yard. Jaxon, Camden and Sydney.

We had a much needed girls day out....We went to the movies and out to eat. We had fun.. only a few issues...I slammed Amy's upper arm in the car door trying to get shot gun. OOOPPS She was nice and bruised the next day.
The newest arrivals... Guess who is older... Not Boston!!! I know he is a big bigger, but little Mason is one month older. We loved getting to see our new cousin. My all the married couples that attended the endowment and sealing. St. George Temple
My family that was able to attend. Mason and Katie's baby Boston did not make the picture.
My three lovely sisters. Amy, me, Katie, and Kristi.
My grandparents and their three kids. My mom is in Green, her brother Barry in back and her sister Stephanie in pink. An eternal family. (love the stash papa)

We returned from St. George a bit tanner and a lot more tired. Mason had a cold the entire time we were there, so sleep was not very plentiful for Cameron and I.
