The Norton's come for a visit

 There are way too many pictures on this post, but after I decided which ones I wanted Blogger added more and I didn't have the patience to delete all of the bonus photos, so we just get lots.  This last weekend the Norton family came to Utah for the wedding of our good friend Steven Johnson. Over the course of 3 days they all arrived and we had a blast sharing the weekend with them.  We took Jonathan, Jarom, grandpa, and Jamie to the Peppermint Place to see some candy decorating. We weren't there at the right time so it wasn't too excited, but the boys still seemed to enjoy it.

  Then we headed over to the park to meet some other friends and enjoy the nice weather.

And after the park we headed over to get some cupcakes. This place called Cravings in Pleasant Grove won cupcake wars last year so they must be good, right?We planned to only buy 3, but when there were so many delicious ones to choose from we opted for the coupon that was 20% the bakers dozen.  They were delicious cupcakes though, my favorite was the caramel popcorn one.

 That night when I was getting Alden ready for the tub Jonathan decided he wanted a bath too and stripped off all of clothes and jumped in. Once Jarom saw how much he was missing out on we let him join the party as well.

 After the tub Rudy, LaWayne and grandma arrived.  The next day while my parents went to the wedding we took the boys to another park. They did excellent playing together all weekend and both get excited to see the other one. Hopefully we have life long friends here.

 Rudy and Jarom had fun too.

 Don't worry LaWayne and Cass had fun too.

 We loved this platform that moves.

 That night was the wedding reception and BJ got in to town just a couple hours before it started (sadly I don't think there are any pictures of BJ from the weekend). My dad did the cake and it turned out great.

 And although I do not have any pictures of Steven there are pictures of all of his sisters.

There was a trampoline outside of where the reception was and these boys had a great time!

 Just loved this little boy so he gets a special picture to show off his sitting up skills.

 And here is the best attempt at trying to get a picture of grandpa and all three grandsons.

 Everyone, but BJ left on Sunday and we were sad to see them leave. BJ stayed until Monday morning and left after we had breakfast together. It was so nice to spend time with just my brother, that doesn't happen too often these days. Again we are truly blessed to come from great families and we love that we get to see both sides often.
