there's no place like home

This weekend my sweet husband drove us all the way down to San Diego for my Uncle Mike's wedding! We decided to break up the trip by staying in Vegas overnight, for both our children's sanity as well as our own! Cole and Ali were such troopers the whole trip, it was so nice to have them entertain each other! We decided to priceline a hotel and see what we could get...and we ended up getting a great deal on Planet Hollywood. When we arrived there we were upgraded to an even larger suite. This ended up happening on the way home too, due to both the kindness of the staff and Justin's connection to a hostess via his brother Jeff (So in a round about way, thanks for the upgrade Jeff!). This was so exciting to us because we always hear about people being upgraded and it NEVER happens to us!

Here is Cole taking care of Ali for us!

Looking at these pictures I am sure you can guess what Cole's favorite part of the room was!

Cole LOVES bubbles and never get's to take a bubble bath since we only have a shower.

This bathroom was huge!

This was the seating area...

and this was Cole ordering room service (haha)

and this was our view!

This is Ali and Justin glued to the screen watching Jeff's game at Central. We got there just in time to catch the whole game! Jeff is pretty amazing...so we were all excited to watch him play!


Ali slept so peacefully right where we layed her...

and then there was Cole...can you find where he finally fell asleep? Don't worry, we made sure he had an air supply!


I have to admit their moments together make me smile...

How cute are they?


And now for the wedding...

Mike and Claire
That scruffy groomsman is my brother David...or should I say Brother Brigham?

It was a beautiful ceremony...with a few comical moments...like when Cole darted out to chase a seagull right when the bridesmaids were heading out. Gotta love a 2 year old at the beach!

It was so good to see my uncle so happy. Welcome to the family Claire, we are so happy to have you!

All in all it was a great trip and we were sorry to head back to Utah. It was so fun to be with family. Justin was such a sport to drive all that way for me. There really is no place like home.
