Avery's First Vacation

in September Adam, Avery and I took off for a quick weekend trip to Utah! Adam had to work in the SLC office and since there was a BYU football game that weekend, he decided to make a weekend of it and stay for the game on Saturday! Since I hadn't left the state in MONTHS, I decided to bring Avery and join him! We had a great weekend visiting family and friends and letting Avery meet so many people who meet so much to us!

MEETING THE ARMSTRONGS

Our first stop was, of course, the Armstrongs! Since they had a busy weekend and we did too, we were only able to spend a few hours with them. Though it was short it was so sweet to see them and let Avery meet them. I think it was love at first sight for both parties! Avery loved them and they loved her!

JULIE'S NEW DO
The week before we left, Julie told me she was planning to get her haircut. I begged her to make her appointment while I was in town so I could be there for the change! She obliged my request and I was on hand to take pictures while Val worked her magic!
THE BIG CUT

The Final Look! LOVE IT!


MY ADORABLE NIECES AND NEPHEWS
I'm one lucky Auntie because I got to take Julie's four ADORABLE munchkins to meet up with "my other sister" Julie to have their pictures taken! Julie was in town from Canada and was doing some mini photo shoots for her Utah family and friends. The photo shoot overlapped with the hair appointment so I offered to take Jackson, Natalie, Brady and Reese to meet up with Julie. It was so much fun to watch these kids in action! Natalie is SOOOO into posing for the camera, the boys acted like they didn't care but I think secretly loved all the attention and Reesie was a little gun shy at first but warmed up and did great! Click here to see the pictures Julie took! They are SOOOOOOO good!

LUNCH WITH THE SCADLOCK GIRLS
After the hair appointment and photo shoot, Julie and I met up with mom and headed off to LOS HERMONOS to meet my Grandma and Aunt Lori and cousins! Yummy food and so many people I love made for a wonderful afternoon! All together there was Amy, Drew, Julie, Mom, Val, Rileigh, Sage, Dylann, Aunt Lori, Avery and Me.

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA CHRISTOFFERSON
Saturday morning I headed up and over the mountain to take Avery to go and meet Grandma and Grandpa Christofferson! I spent about an hour and half with them and am so glad I made time to see them. They are so sweet and wonderful! They fell in love with Avery and she with them!

JACKSON'S FOOTBALL GAME
After visiting Grandma and Grandpa C., we headed over to Jackson's football game! Jack's such a cutie pie and a great football player! I'm glad I was able to see him play!


BYU VS FSU :-(
Avery's first "BYU" outfit! Though she didn't come to the game and spent the evening with Grandma Scadlock, she looked adorable in her cute BYU shirt and bow!

Pre Game
The game was a HUGE disappointment as BYU played their worst game in years and got their tooshies kicked by FSU. I did, however, get to meet up with Londyn Clawson, my friend Tanya's daughter, who just started her freshman year at BYU! She is such a cutie and I'm soooo proud of her for all her success!

AND OF COURSE IT ENDED WITH THIS....
No vacation would be complete if Adam didn't fall asleep at some point! This was after the game when we came back to Julie's. We were watching TV and before we knew it Adam was gone! Definitely a sign of a fun weekend!
