Brian and Lindsay Bryner

It has been a busy summer in the Jones family. 2 babies were born and 2 of Brett's sisters were married. We went up to Utah last weekend for Lindsay's wedding. I am really close to Lindsay, so I figured being at her wedding was worth being induced. : ) In order to fly, a baby has to be 2 weeks old. Well, Kirra was 16 days old. We thought it would probably be best to fly rather than try to drive the 10 hours with Tavin (who hates the car after an hour) and a newborn. Luckily, Brett had a free flight so it worked out great. Atleast we thought it was going to work out great.

We left from Ontario Airport on Thursday, Aug. 28th at 7pm. We finally arrived at my grandma's house in Utah at 4am on Friday. To make a long story short...as we boarded the plane in Phoenix (where our layover was) a HUGE storm hit - 60 mile an hour winds, thunder, lightning, and pouring rain. It was so bad the electricity went off in the airport. Well, we ended up sitting on the plane, on the ground for 2+ hours. When the weather lightened up a bit, the pilot would come over the intercom and tells us we were going to try to take off, only to have another storm hit before we could get out. It could have been horrible, but Tavin and Kirra both did GREAT! Tavin didn't fall asleep until 11:30pm, but he sure loved running up and down the isles and the flight attendents were so good to him.

When we arrived in Salt Lake City our rental car place had closed, so we called my dad to come and get us at 3am. He and my mom were also in town for Lindsay's wedding. As we pulled our bags off the belt we were shocked to find that they were sopping wet! They had been left out in the storm in Phoenix. Not only were our bags wet, but everything in them was too! I could literally ring out our clothes, carseat, diapers, etc. Although we spent another hour filling out a damage report, Southwest makes it completely impossible to get reimburssed for any thing...including my bridesmaid dress where the colors all bled into one another. Needless to say, we crashed as soon as we got to my grandma's house. We laughed pretty hard as we realized we would have made it there sooner if we had driven, and with dry clothes.

Lindsay and Brian were married on Sat. in the Salt Lake Temple and then had a gorgeous garden reception at his house in Price, Utah. We were sad to see we didn't take very many pictures. Then again, we are now adjusting to 2 kids...one for each parent...which didn't give much time to take pictures.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Javonna Jones.

Tavin with his cousins Madison and Alexis (who could pass as his sisters) and his second cousin Olivia. Tavin did have a really cute turquoise tie his aunt Lindsay got him, but he broke it 2 minutes after we put it on him at the temple.

A glimpse of the reception and their beautiful cake.

It was a great and fast weekend. (Sorry to all of our friends and family whom we didn't get the chance to see. We didn't even get over to visit Andee's grave.) Thankfully our flight home on Sun. morning went as scheduled!
