catching up with cousins

Baby Flora and I hopped on a plane to Utah for some snow and chilly weather...oh, and for a gorgeous wedding. My cousin, Rachel, was married in the Mount Timpanogos temple last weekend in a beautiful sealing ceremony and we had tons of fun catching up with my Walker family.

Four generations together,
including 2 Barbara's (yes, my given name is actually Barbara like my darling Grandma)
and 2 Flora's!


Walker cousins: Jacob, Derek, Amanda (future cousin?) and McKenna

When we arrived at the waiting room in the temple we realized that there had been a miscommunication and the babysitter was not there to watch Flora during the sealing. I was resigned to miss it when my cousin's girlfriend, Amanda (pictured above), whom I had never met, rushed to the temple and babysat a very grumpy and even stinky baby! Derek, she's a keeper.
(Oh, and I completely embarrassed myself when I didn't recognize my cousin, McKenna! "So are you Amanda's sister?" DUH! She's grown up so much.)

Uncle Rob is hilarious...
He obviously wants to be front and center in every picture
forcing all his sisters and mom behind. HAHA!


The Flora's doing fishy faces!
