We Went to Farmington for the Weekend!

Don't be scared, we are actually really nice people... We are just awesome at baseball...
Oh yeah... I hit this one so hard, it broke though the netting on the other side and hit a car... ok, not really... I actually think I missed this one.
Hot. He is really good hat hitting.
Just before I took this, Derek was sitting in the same position as Warren with his mouth open as well.. So that was the purpose of this picture but oh well!
This is Tyler opening some of his gifts. I love how all the little kids are gathered closely around him.
This is all the men who are related to Tyler that went to the baptism, which means that we are related to about half of them..
Like I said, he is really good at golf.
Awww we are so cute :)
Eh, close enough.

Derek, going in for the put... he shoots, he scores!! Dalin, was extra talented at holding the flag ;)

We went to Farmington over the weekend to go to Derek's cousin's (Tyler) baptism. I almost couldn't go because of work but I wasn't scheduled so I got to go! I am so glad I got to because it was SO much fun. It is always really fun when we visit Derek's family. Plus, the weather was beautiful so it was a good weekend all around. The drive from Denver to Farmington is only about 350 miles but its through the mountains so it took us 7 hours! It was a beautiful drive though! We got into farmington on Thursday night and we stayed till Sunday morning. On friday, Derek, Dalin, and I went golfing! That was exciting. I am better than I thought I was but still not good. Derek was awesome at it! I am glad that Dalin came with us, he is a cool kid. It's always fun to get to know him better. I am glad that I have such good brothers/sisters-in-law!! So, we were out in the sun for a few hours... I didn't put on sunscreen, thus I got a little crispy. After golf, we went shopping with Derek's mom. That was fun! we found some great deals on clothes. That night, we went to Golden Corral for dinner and we watched a movie as a family.

The next day was the baptism! It was a great program. Tyler is so cute. He was so excited and happy to be getting baptised. Eight is such a great age! Because of the baptism Brandon and Crystal were in town as well and it was great to see them! Brandon gave a great talk on baptism and you could tell Tyler looked up to him so much. Derek and I sang a duet ("I like to look for rainbows...") together! That was the first time that Derek has sang in public and he was fantastic! It was awesome to sing with him! Derek was a witness as well. After the baptism we all went to Tammy and Rusty's (Aunt and Uncle) house for lunch and to celebrate Tyler's birthday. We socialized a bit and enjoyed each other's company. Derek has such a great family. Unfortunately Rusty fell off his roof and broke a few ribs! That was terrible. I hope that he gets better soon. Other than that it was a great day!

Derek and I went to the batting cages that night and then everyone that was there for the baptism went to the "Too"-Tah to watch a movie. Its an old theater that people can rent for a couple hours to watch a movie. So, we got to hang out with Derek's cousins a bit more. After that we went back to the house, watched another movie, and then went to bed.

Like I said before, we love to visit Derek's family. They are great people and I feel extremely lucky to have them as a part of my life.
