Utah trip

Jake, Zowie, and I drove up to Utah for Jake's brother Matt's wedding. All of his siblings and their kids (Zowie's cousins) were going to be there. Perfect timing for them to meet Zowie! We had a great time, and Zowie had so much fun with her new cousins. They are mostly boys, Tatum was excited to have another girl cousin.

This looks like Zowie is saying "Ugh, 12 hours in a car?!?!" She did really well. A friend from work let me borrow his portable DVD player.

Jake's family gave several gift to Zowie welcoming her into the James family. Thanks everyone, she loves all her toys and clothes.

"Z" for Zowie and "J" for James. We'll paint them and put them in her room.

Jake, Zowie, and I visiting the Mt. Timpanogos temple taking pictures waiting for the new couple to come out to get their pictures done. This is Zowie's first temple!

Some of the cousins, there are a few boys missing from this picture.

My sister-in-law, Kerstin, made these beautiful wedding cakes. She is soooo talented.

Lydia had all sorts of candy placed out for people to fill in little boxes to take with them.
