Lately....

Jimmer's first plane ride to St. Louis
Jimmer's first zoo trip (in St. Louis) - He did have fun...he had just woken up here and looks greasy from the sunblock :)
Jimmer's second zoo trip (in Utah)

We've had a busy few weeks lately. Unfortunately we do not have a lot of pictures to show for it. Oh well. James, Jimmer and I flew to St. Louis in the beginning of May for James' sister Carolyn's wedding and we spent a week out there hanging out with the Rees family. We had a good time, but traveling with Jimmer was a bit of a challenge. He screamed quite a bit on the flight to St. Louis and then while we were there he did not sleep well or do well at all when we had to leave him to go to the temple. But, at least he acted just as we suspected. :)

Then a few days after we got home my brother John and his family came to Utah to visit, so we had about 5 days of fun with the Farish family doing things like going to the Hogle Zoo, going to Pirate Island (like Chuck E. Cheese), having a BBQ, going shooting and roasting s'mores. Luckily while John & Keri were here, we were able to get Jimmer to stay asleep at my parents' house and then transfer Jimmer home to his crib when we were done playing games and stuff each night. I was shocked that he stayed asleep every time we took him home. I think St. Louis trip helped him learn to sleep a little better in places other than his own crib. Although we've had a lot of fun lately, we are happy to take a little break from vacationing for a while and get back to our normal lives. Now we just need to plan something for our anniversary next Thursday...I'm thinking Hawaii.

I'm glad you made it through the plane ride alright! That would be tough with an infant. Sounds like you've been having a lot of fun!

So glad you guys have a little down time now. Traveling is exhausting! It was so fun seeing you guys and getting to play with Jimmer. He probably just realized he was stuck in a house with 45 screaming kids he didn't know and decided he wanted his momma. I understand, Jimmer. We can't wait to see you guys in June.
-I'm going to steal the two pics of Carolyn off your blog. Hope you don't mind. I was also hoping you could email me a family pic of us and a kid pic of our kids from the temple for my blog. Just pick the ones you think are best. Thanks so much.
