Trip to Utah & Jeff's Wedding

In August, we went to Utah to visit family and for my little brother, Jeff's, wedding.  I got very lucky and was able to on a race with Neon Vibe the weekend before in Atlanta and fly straight to Utah.  Brian met me there a few days later since he couldn't take off work to go for the entire time.  I also left a few days early to do a race in Sarasota, FL and then Brian and I met at the airport in Ohio on his way home.  It made our scheduling a little crazy, and I didn't know when we booked everything that I was going to be pregnant, so it was a little exhausting, but so much fun and totally worth it.

We had so much fun spending time with family doing things like Seven Peaks, going to the Ogden temple dedication, a day at Lagoon (this was after I left which was probably ok since I wasn't doing so well with roller coasters at the time), hiking, and a trip to the zoo.

And of course, there was the wedding. Jeff and Kenzi got married in the best temple, Logan (we are a little biased).  After the wedding, they had a luncheon at Maddox and then a reception in South Weber.  It was a beautiful backyard reception and we had a lot of fun dancing and eating lots of ice-cream.

 

Summer Highlights

Gotta get caught up on this blog so I don't start behind when this baby comes!  Here are some of our highlights from last summer.

In June, we went to "Mormon Night with the Crew."  They sell tickets to the stakes out here for really cheap for Mormon night, it's awesome.  It just so happened to be the game against REAL, too.  We had a lot of fun even though it rained the whole first half.

We didn't get a lot of pictures, but our 4th of July was so much fun!  Everyone else started the day with a parade, but we hate parades so we slept in and then went for a long run together instead.  After that, we went to the pool with the Miller's, then a BBQ at the McClelland's, and then we went to the Olsen's to watch the fireworks.  It was such a fun day!

Another fun thing we got to do this summer was a day at Cedar Point that was sponsored by Scott's.  It actually ended up being two days - we drove the 2 hours there the first day and there was a major water line break in Sandusky and they had closed the park for the weekend.  So we went to lunch and then drove home.  Scott's rescheduled the day though and we made the 2 hours drive again.  We hung out with the Heap's and Hiltscher's most of the day, which was great because I passed out on the first ride of the day so I hung out with the babies in kiddo land and Brian still had a ride buddy in Jake.  In fact, him and Jake were having so much fun, Jake stayed with us until the park closed at midnight and then passed out in our backseat for the ride home.  It was a super fun day, even I did only ride 2 rides.

We found out a couple weeks after Cedar Point there was maybe a good reason I passed out on that roller coaster (besides that I am just getting old) - we found out we were pregnant! Baby Hardman is due March 27th.
