Mason's first Utah trip

Well, hello everyone!

My have we been busy the past few weeks...but isn't that life?!? On the 17th of July we flew to Utah for Chasey and Lyndsay's wedding. It was very beautiful and they looked so happy together! Over the course of this wonderful event, Mason got to meet his Grandma Melinda, Pop Pop (coach), Great Grandpa and Grandma Jones, and Ralph and Gertie Weidler (yes, they are part of the family too!) and lots of the other New York family. It was soooo much fun to visit with everyone and catch up on what's going on in each others lives.

Since we were all in Utah we decided to have Mason blessed. So on Sunday July 20th, 2008 Mason was blessed in my home ward in Delta Utah. He looked so cute in the blessing outfit his grandma and grandpa Brown bought him. To top it off he was swaddled in beautiful blue blanket Great Grandma Jones made for him. Afterwards we had a dinner a the Palomar. There he was able to meet everyone else from aunts and uncles to cousins and family friends. The next day Bowen had to fly home to San Diego. I guess someone in this family has to make a living :) He was so wonderful to keep on top of all the Casa Linda responsibilites along with working full time at the shipyard. I have such a wonderful husband.

Speaking of Bowen...as of today we are now an official corporation. Jerkey's Jamaican Grill is the name. We're opening up a Jamaican restaurant hopefully by this time next summer. The first location will be right here in Pacific Beach. So, I'm counting on all that are able to be here for the Grand Opening! ;) As we venture further into this learning opportunity I'll update as we go. Here's a picture of Bowen making his very yummy Jerk Chicken and Rice & Peas. Back to the Utah trip. After Bowen left we had about 2 days to rest and catch up with friends and other family. The 24-26 was the Dwayne Bayles family reunion. Jerolynn was in charge this year and she did a fabulous job. We had sooo much fun riding four wheelers, taking the paddle boat out on the lake, laughing, and making fun crafts! Thanks Jer! After that we just hung out for a couple days and recovered from all the traveling and adventures we'd been on the past 2 weeks. Finally it was time to go home to San Diego. I think both Mason and I were very ready to see Bowen. We missed him very much! It's soooo nice to be home! This is where we're supposed to be. Now we're just trying to figure out some sort of a routine. For now...Lots of love, The Summers Oh yes, while Mason and I were gone, Bowen neglected his military neatness. When we got back he was a long haired, bearded heathen. Well, after some encouragement this was the end result...Reno cops 911...ha ha ha! Ok, not really the end result. But I had you going!!!
