The Mother Land

So the llama story wasn't the only cool thing that happened while Avery and I were in Utah...

1. Bear Lake
The first week we were out there, we went on the Butler family reunion to Bear Lake.
First of all, I forgot how sweet this lake was. If you don't mind a little chill in the water, the beaches are amazing, especially for a toddler!



We took advantage of good old Uncle Scott and his boat. It rocked!

Secondly, the place we rented was amazing! Just look at it...


And the view

Thirdly, besides the lake, we had the best time just hanging around the cabin. There were theme nights, games, good food, good conversation and lots of laughs!



Fourthly, I just have to give all my cousins a shout out (none of them will read this because they are way cooler than this blog). I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! We had so much fun. I'm one of the oldest, and all the little teeny boppers keep me young and hip.


fifthly, these two are pretty cool
2) Hanging out with my friends!

No matter where we are in life, things never change when I see my good friends!
Oh and to the Sojo girls... why on earth do we never take pictures when we are together, I think people are starting to wonder if I am making you guys up! Well I'm not, and I love you as well!

3) Two peas in a pod



Avery taught Bella how to scream, and Bella taught Avery how to climb out of her pack and play. Ya gotta watch these two!
4) The beautiful outdoors
Where I came from was a burning sauna. Consequences of leaving our doorsteps would be instant melting, so I couldn't get enough of these outdoors.





And last but not least was Sadie's wedding!


In a wedding, there are a lot of things, first you have to have the perfect day

The girl who catches the bride's flower bouquet
Too bad she is 14
lets see, what am I missing? Oh yeah, the bride and groom. Introducing Devin and Sadie Ekins


And lastly, i'm a little embarrassed to post these, but we partied a little bit, and that is always a big part of weddings.







(and i'm not proud of my weird faces)
The cool thing about this partying was that it was after the photographer, videographer, bride, groom and guests all left.
It was fun.
It is GREAT to be back though, we have missed the sauna!

Let it never be said that the Joneses don't know how to party. What is wrong with your camera? Blury pictures - I DEMAND quality!
