Utah Trip

Ryan and I had a great time in Utah with his family over the 24th of July.
After a day of airport appreciation...


...we flew into Grand Junction and Brent drove the 4 hours to pick us up that night. It was a long and tiring day but we made it and were thrilled to be there.
We spent Saturday in Park City shopping and eating and mostly enjoying the cool weather. It was nice to have a small break from the Texas heat and humidity.



We had to pick up this cute fork for baby Jackson!!




The next few days we relaxed, celebrated the 24th with a parade and lunch at Grandma Scotts, and caught up with the family. It is always fun to see the nieces and nephews!!
Alec came up to hang out with his friends and we had spent out time outside at the parks, pools and movie theaters. Alec is a rock star in Utah and has won the love of everyone. It's not hard for the dude...he is so good looking and very manly!! ;)














My biggest surprise was the baby shower Ryan's family pulled off. It was a complete surprise and I had no idea it was even in the works. We were "going to dinner" and I was excited about that! When Ryan and I got back to his parent house I walked in the door to his mom and sisters, aunts and grandma!! I was slightly confused but caught on fast. The party moved downstairs to the basement and guests started to arrive. I was super shocked when my mom walked in the door and had flown in from Texas to join the party!! She came with my grandma George, aunt Melissa, "ant" Nikki and some of my cousins!! So much love and support!
I still can't believe how well they pulled it off! I am so blessed with such a wonderful family and appreciate all they do for me. We went home with two extra suitcases full of clothes, blankets and toys for baby Jackson. It was a wonderful surprise!!






We had cake balls galore!! Haley and Alys went slightly overboard but boy were they good!!




Darling diaper cake made by Alys!




Morning flew in that morning and brought the delicious box of macaroons all the way from NYC!! Yum




Diane found this darling baby book for Jackson! It's perfect:) Gracie was my helper opening gifts...she is the cutest!




Mr. Sock T. Pus! Such a cute idea! Thanks Jensens:)




My cousin Kristine came and made Jackson his very own aviator hat and goggles!! I can't wait to put them on him! Such a crackup!!
Needless to say we are spoiled rotten! It was a great trip with great memories!!
