Once you go Black...: Landon's Blessing/Utah Trip

I really wanted to bless Landon here in Dallas, since this is his home. But since it's hard for us to house even one guest in our little condo, we decided to travel to Utah for the blessing. Most of Devon's family is there and it's a shorter trip for my family. We left Wednesday afternoon and had quite the eventful airplane ride there. So eventful, in fact, that it has its own blog post. As for the rest of the trip...

Thursday

We started the day with a quick trip out to Saratoga Springs to do a quick walk-through of our house. I was so impressed with our renters! The house was immaculate, the yard looked 100x better then it ever had while we were living there and it was so nice to see the whole house being used. When our walk-through was complete we headed to downtown Salt Lake. I went to lunch with my friend Beckee and Devon went to lunch with his brother John.

That night we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Pizza Pie Cafe. Oh I miss that place!!

Friday

We went to go see Devon's grandma and his great uncle Bob. Uncle Bob passed away less than a week later, so we are really grateful we were able to see him one last time and he was able to meet Landon.

That night we got to see John and Michelle's new house. West had a blast watching the antics that go on in a house full of boys. Landon stayed safe hanging out with the one girl.

Saturday

My mom, Ricky and Shannon arrived, despite a big snow storm (Mother Nature made sure I didn't miss Utah too much). Just about all the family went to Tucanos for a late lunch. That place is good, but you sure feel like crap afterward! The rest of the day was spent recovering and getting ready for the big day, Sunday.

Sunday

All the family our friends, gathered at church for the blessing. Devon gave Landon an beautiful blessing!! After church we all went to Devon's parents house for brunch and a lot of pictures.

It was a wonderful day! I'm so grateful for my little boys.

Monday

We didn't leave until late afternoon and my family didn't leave until evening, so we went out and had a little fun! Shannon wanted to do a ropes course at Provo Beach resort, so we all tagged along and had a great time!
