-Mama, keep praying and let's get a ring on that finger soon!-Zandra, I'll stay in your hotel anytime!
-Regina, I promise to take the burden of being the first one to leave next time!
-Yolande, you get middle next time...dang it I'll probably have a van by then!
-Tamu, you know I'm just envious of your dark chocolate!
This is a big group picture that was taken at a potluck we had Friday night. So many people and so many memories. I love the diversity.
Jim Slaughter, my old boss at BYU, gave Chi a basketball that I swear he had saved in a drawer for as long as I can remember. I think being a grandpa has made him softer.
Boston posing outside of Tucano's, a Brazilian restaurant in Provo that I couldn't really afford while in college. All the meat made me feel really guilty that I was there without Johnson. Sorry honey!
At our first stop I let Chi pick out whatever he wanted in the gas station, after all it was his actual b-day!
She was pretty excited to take a break. Little did she know we still had about 9 hours left in the car.
These are 2 of my roommates from Rick's- Rebecca and Chelsea. They both live in Boise and so we stopped to have dinner with them and let the kids run around. We also called Regina, Mama & Tamu to let them know that we couldn't drive any further and were going to stay the night with Zandra...our little April Fool's joke that pretty much backfired in our face's since everyone believed us and we got in so late that Tamu had gone to bed leaving us with no way to get in the house. hahaha...jokes on us!
Regina a Boston getting acquainted. I'm pretty sure she's one of the few she would go to all week.
She had no choice but to go to Jaylin one day since I was going to the spa with the girls no matter what. She did good enough to get a nap in.
Boston and Koffi playing peek a boo. He was the only man she would interact with all week. Well she pretty much flirted with him the whole time. Sorry Yolande, but it's your own fault for marrying such a good lookin' man.
Vivian and Aaron's twins. A boy (left) and a girl (right) and I'm so sorry, but I cannot remember their names for the life of me.
We spent an afternoon with the twins and Chi's goal all day was to make the babies "happy". It was pretty cute. I can't wait to have another baby to see how he interacts with him.
Chi took this picture and a bunch of other really decent one's too.
Like this one.
Malachi and Jacob (my best friend Sarah's son). For the most part they got along pretty well, until it came to Jacob's planes. Malachi fell in love with a new toy.
Sarah's husband Brett was nice enough to take the boys out each night when he came home from work and one night he took the boys out to get new planes....Thank you Brett for making my sons trip!
After the sandbox Sarah and I threw all 3 kids in together. She watched idol and I let them splash around. It was a real treat to just hang out this way...I never would of thought when we were in college we would end up bathing our kids together.
All clean and ready for a pillow fight.
It was super convenient when my sister Kristi called 2 weeks before the trip that she had gotten engaged and that the wedding would take place while we were in Utah. Her wedding was beautiful, short and to the point. She looked amazing and the cake tasted great...that's all that matters at a wedding. 
Malachi took this picture of his papa.
I was so relieved when my mom and sister had arrived to Utah and Boston would actually let them hold her.
Sharlene, Aunt Lezlie, & Stephanie at a family dinner in Logan. Sharlene, Malachi and I headed to Boise for the night on our way home and what an adventure that was. Boston was privileged enough to fly home with my parents. Anyways before we left the restaurant my 2 uncles were trying to give me directions out of Logan the quickest way and totally lost mine and Sharlene's attention. The waitress ended up drawing us a map, which was perfect except we missed one minor part to everyone's directions which took us about 45 minutes in the wrong direction. I was so ticked. We had already left later than I wanted and I was really tired at this point. I actually had to stop like 3 times during our 4 hour drive and even picked up a power energy drink. By the time we got to Boise I of course couldn't go to sleep. I don't drink caffeine so maybe should have just stuck with a coke or Mt. dew. All in all it was a great trip. Our only downer was that Johnson couldn't make it out with us. I kept thinking he was going to surprise us, but never did. Next time honey!
