Mason is the most turned around...He has been getting up at 4 am all week!

Portland Farmers Market

We are back in the States for Steve and Lynsies Wedding. Well... We didn't quite make it home (Arizona)! But we are in the States for a couple weeks ! I think of Portland as my second home anyway... We are in the country for Eric's brothers wedding in Salt Lake City-Eric is also going to work a little in Oregon (Combining a business trip with pleasure you could say)
Unfortunately, the timing couldn't have been any worse for my husband and it was all work! After hanging out in Portland for almost a week it became clear he would be caught-up the whole time, Plans changed and me and the boys (worthy travel companions ) drove to Salt Lake by ourselves -First stopping at Bridget's a good friend of mine who lives in Boise, ID ( happens to be the half way point to SLC from Portland) We stayed at her house on the way there and on the way back. Bridget's two boys are the same age as mine and when you factor in she lives on a ranch with something like 40 acres , quads and a dad who likes to play with fireworks you can imagine how much fun my boys had !!! We made it in to SLC despite countless thunder storms and down pours along the way : (

Best part of the wedding! Lynsie smashing cake all over Steves face : )

Leslie and Me

This is turning out to be a week for seeing old friends...I also have a friend in SLC , Leslie who I have not seen in years !!! Leslie has daughters, one the same age as Mason and it was so cute seeing the two of them interact, Right after we arrived Leslie's daughter meet the boys , then disappeared returning with a different outfit,bright pink lipstick and a little bow in her hair !TOO CUTE! It was a lot of fun visiting with them

We met up with Eric's entire family for several days ! It was awesome seeing everybody. Steve and Lynsie were married in a National Park in one of the canyons near Park City (the wedding was so beautiful) Turned out to be a great week... despite the crappy weather that never seemed to let up ! Eric ended up flying in the day of the wedding and back to work the very next morning-We have not seen much of him this past two weeks

Eric's three brothers wearing their gifts we brought them from the Middle East (Red is Jordanian and black is palestinian) Alcohol enhanced their appreciation for these
