Dallin came and stayed with me for a couple of weeks and we labeled our time together "perfect". It truely was! It made it even more special to get a little window of one on one time with him before he leaves on his mission. Speaking from my previous post, I had been going through the hardest time and an angel was definetely sent to me. (Thanks mom and dad!)
Dal and I rode this ride called the blender at it shot you over 5 stories high...and you didn't even have a bar to hold on to! So scary!!
Much needed relaxation at Miami Beach
Dal and I played frisbee for so long- it was so much fun (but so scary when we'd almost hit people!)
Dal was the girl's favorite person to play with in the pool- he made up so many games
We went to "the Great African Adventure 3D" at the Imax theatre
We went to the Museum of Discovery and Science and it was so juicy exploring it together!
Dal loves planes and in the museum they had a whole section where you could do simulated flights!
This alligator was a robot and the girls thought it was real, so Dal would pretend he wanted to pet it and the girls would freak out and pull him back.
After our pop one morning we discovered this part of a park and called it "our enchanted forest" Such serendipity moments are my favorite!
We brought Audrey with us during our afternoon in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Of course Dal spent so much time with the girls!
The Braves were playing the Marlins so it was perfect since Dal is a HUGE Braves fan. It was so much fun because the Braves hit so many home runs!
Would entertainment be complete without the XBox?
During the Suns/Spurs playoff series, we got to watch the games in our own private room at a sports bar. We got to know the manager and he treated us like royalty!
"Our room" :)
We had our own waitress that brought us the funnest appetizers while we watched!
Our candelight dinner on our balcony
Dal, thanks for coming and bringing your INNOVATION! :) We love you so much and feel so blessed that we got you all to ourselves for a time!
My priceless guest!

Wow- I'm the first to leave a comment on your post- that never happens. Let me take a second to savor this moment......okay- I'm done. j/k! I'm so glad that your brother got to come and see you guys. I wish I was closer to you guys Jess!! I hate to hear that you are having a rough time and I can't do anything. Please tell me if I can help. Well, you guys look like you had an awesome time while your bother was there. Oh- have you heard anything about our 10 year reunion? Let me know- love ya!! And remeber to keep smiling and know that you are loved greatly in Arizona. :)
Jess, how fun for you to have sweet little Dal there spending time with you! I still can't believe he's old enough to go on a mission! He will be amazing. You look so beautiful and seriously, you live in PARADISE! My kids are proud that it is almost 70 degrees outside today! Love you!
Jessica, I left a comment a while back but was 1 of like 13. Just wanted to say hi and that your family is adorable. If you'd like to view our blog email me @ bmwsz3@aol.com for an invite (its private). Talk to you soon.
Hey Jess, it looks like you had such a fun time with your brother. And hooray Brody is headed to his last year, are you so excitied? Do you guys have any idea on where you will go yet? Allan is looking for a job again, his year at Fort Hall will be up in August, so hopefully we will get something here in town now. To answer your question, IF is great. I really love it here, the people are awesome, and it's so fun being close to family. Now that the weather is getting better and I'm not pregnant anymore it makes it that much better. My kids can ride their bikes around the neighborhood, and there are hundreds of kids around to play with(that's not even an exaggeration, we live in a very young neighborhood.) Anyway, I'm not trying to make you homesick, and I really say enjoy every minute of where you are at, which I think you do a great job of. Talk to you soon, and make sure you let us know if you come to IF this summer okay!
Oh my gosh. I have never seen funner pictures. You just flew everyday. How fun is Dallin? I have never been with someone who is as fun with 2 year olds as 34 year olds? He makes me laugh so hard, and it literally a celebrity to Carter and Cannon. I'm laughing at innovation because it sounds just like him. There must have been an inside on that one. No one (besides your mom, maybe) could have been the shot in the arm that you needed more. And you look like the perfect hostess! Unbelievable trip. I'm proud of you two geniuses at the museum. I'm so glad you had him there as your angel. Love you, Jess. I hope Noah gets to hook up with you guys.
I am so glad that Dallin was able to come and see you. Especially where you were having such a hard time. It looked so fun and you look so pretty. You have so much to look forward to - I am so happy for you.
Love you
It looks like you guys had a blast! I'm so glad Dal was able to come. He is so much fun to be with- and those pictures are SO CUTE. You really do look so pretty! I love the one of you guys at the Braves game- that must have been so fun! I know Dal had a blast. LOVE YOU! Krys
Ok...that really looked like a 5 star vacation! That's so fun that you got that time w/Dallin before he leaves. It would be such a dream to come see you! I miss you so much! Love you!!
Man fun!! That looks like a blast. Think how you would make anything perfect though! Seriously--I love how you look at life! You're amazing. You look like a model by the way--seriously so gorgeous! I miss you!
That is also really fun that you got to have Dallin come! I am so excited for him to go to England!! He'll be amazing...can you imagine anyone more prepared?
Hey Jessica! I found your blog and thought I would leave a message. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm sure you remember my husband from high school. Looking at your pictures makes me wish we would have decided to go to the school in Florida. It is beautiful there! You have a fabulous family and the pictures are great. Feel free to visit our blog.
JEss- You have had so much fun lately! I miss you guys so bad already. Im so glad you got to spend time with dallin... can't wait to see you in july.
love, rebekah
