We got to meet Hanna

Braden was coming home for his friend, Patrick's wedding, and talked his girlfriend Hanna into coming with him! He had class Thursday evening until 6 pm.  They were delivering cabinets to Salt Lake by 6:30 am Friday.  So that meant they had to drive straight through the night.  (10 hour drive) I think Braden dropped Hanna off at her mom's house at 5:30 am, and then ran the cabinets over to the shop, and arrived at our house at 6:30 am!  

Even on only a few hours sleep,  they both looked great!  Hanna is awesome.  We're so glad she came with Braden so we could get to know her. 


This is the first impression I gave her...rash all over, and spaced out on percocet!
I really want to take a rain check on this "first impression" thing!

Braden and Hanna went to Patrick's wedding dinner, and then came back to Riverton to watch glass blowing.
Here is Braden explaining all that one needs to know about blowing glass. 


Braden got up early and went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.
Yay!  Patrick is married!!
We picked Hanna up, and went down for the reception.  (11 am reception)
Yes, these two are still going on about 4 hours sleep.


Amanda Andrews came with us too.

And Caitlyn.....funny story here.
Our glass blowing, bee-keeping, mulit-talented friend, and Braden's boss....Tyler, invited Caitlyn to go to a bee-keeping class with him Saturday morning.  So we made a plan.  Braden heads to the wedding early, Caitlyn also leaves early to go to the bee-keeping class.  Dean and I are to get dress clothes for Cailtyn,  pick up Caitlyn's friend Amanda, and then we pick up Hanna.  Drop Hanna off at the reception so she can hang out with Braden.  Go get Caitlyn from the bee-keeping class, have her change, and then Caitlyn, Amanda, Dean and I go to the tail end of the reception.  Great plan....until we pick up Caitlyn and realize that we forgot her dress clothes!!!  Poor Caitlyn had to go to the wedding reception in her bee-keeping clothes!  I gave her my scarf, trying to make her a little more dressed up....do you think anyone noticed?  We love this girl!  She rolled with it so well!





Saturday was full of wedding stuff for Braden and Hanna, and that evening they went to dinner with Hanna's mom.  Sunday morning they went to church, and then headed back to Phoenix.  We were so glad we got to meet Hanna.  That weekend went by way too fast!!
Mike and Manda and Dex missed out on seeing these guys, they were in Chicago.  Anxious to hear how their trip went!

Cute kiddos! Caitlyn looks like her dad blowing bubbles. I always thought she was all Erika. So sorry about the rash! When are you going to Los Alamos? This is Chris on Jenny's computer, too lazy to sign out and in again!
