American Fork and Beyond...

Hyrum and I have been planning our weekend visit to my hometown of American Fork for a few months now. My grandparents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and a big party was planned!

We started out on Thursday night, like planned, and drove the 12 hours straight to my Grandma's house.

We got to Utah in the wee hours of the morning and stopped to take a quick picture of the valley. It was really refreshing to not be surrounded by trees for a minute!




--------------------------------------------

Hy and I got to AF about 8-ish and took a 2 hour nap before finding out Gramps was being rushed to St. George in an ambulance for emergency surgery. He had a perforated bowel and was in a really bad spot. It was a pretty dangerous situation.

We rushed down to see Gramps and spent the rest of our time between my parents house and the hospital. Thankfully we were at the hospital my dad works at, with a lot of people that love our family who took great care of Grandpa Max.



It was a very emotional weekend and I didnt take nearly as many pictures as I had promised myself I would take.

I love him so much!

In the time that I wasnt at the hospital, I got to spend a lot of time with my most favorite person.



I just had to steal this picture from his mama, my sister in law. He is so freaking adorable. His is able to say Aunt Kenni now and he is on his way to being a bonafide "Lady Killer".

So needless to say, the cake I had been planning months for was a no go.....for that weekend at least. I trekked all of the stuff for it all the way out to Utah, and all the way back to Vancouver. I decided that no matter what......I WAS GOING TO FINISH THIS CAKE!

I think it turned out nicely, and I hope it's something my grandparents would have liked.

Hy and I have been really sleepy after this whole journey, and this is what I found tonight after my shower......

Today Sweet Cakes went through its Health Inspection and is well on it's way to having the opening weekend! I am really looking forward to seeing it all done and everything in its place!!

Other than that, I havent felt like blogging too much lately.
