Utah Trip

We went to Utah to introduce Jack to his family there and to bless him.  Jack did very well on the airplane.  On the way there his mother had to stand up for the full 4 hours so that he could see everything that was going on but luckily on the way home he slept most of the time. We had a great time in Utah.  It went by so fast and there are several people that we were unable to see (next trip to Utah, hopefully in May). Jack was introduced to many friends and family.  He met all of his great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, cousins once removed (I  think that is what you call them:)), and his mother's childhood friends.  It was also great to see some of my missionary companions.  Shawn came into town for a couple of days and we went snowmobiling with my mom's side of the family.  It was perfect weather.  Shawn is starting to realize that snow is not so bad (now I just need to figure out how to get him skiing....).  Jack was blessed in his grandma's ward and Shawn gave a wonderful blessing.  His grandma Janice had a wonderful dinner at her house after the blessing.  Thanks mom for making the day so special! Jack's Grandma Morris and the Goldstein-Roberts family flew in for the blessing.  What a lucky guy! Jack loved all the attention he got in Utah.  It seemed like every time Jack coughed, cooed, smiled, cried there was someone there to make a fuss over him.  Jack is so lucky to have so many people who love and support him. Here are some pics of the highlights of our trip.

Beautiful pictures! I'm glad you were able to go to Utah and do the blessing there. It's always great to see family. Jack is so adorable. Snowmobiling is a blast and those pictures are gorgeous- with the mountains in back. Fun times.
