Utah

A few weeks ago, we traveled to Utah to watch Steph and Adam's kids for them while they took a trip to Mexico. Jack and I traveled together while Justin followed shortly after so he could catch another day of school. Jack did SO WELL on the plane! Both there and back. We had a layover but on one of the flights there and back, he got a little scared during take off so he wanted to lay on my shoulder. Well, both times he did that he fell asleep and never moved his head off my shoulder. He slept the whole way, which I was so grateful for. The other two, we just watched movies, read books and played with the window. I was also lucky to have an empty seat next to me so I could have a break from holding him.

They have an awesome back yard which Jack took full advantage of the whole time we were there. He loved to run around with the kids and play in the grass.

The kids were so good with Jack! It is nice to be there where I don't have to entertain him at all! The kids took over and made sure he was having fun.

We were super lucky that Sharla had a doctors appointment in Salt Lake the same day we were getting there. Al and Sharla picked us up from the airport and stayed with us a couple days. We are so GLAD that they did!! Sharla was a huge help to me and we were happy to see as much family as possible in one trip!

Whitney came down from Rexburg to go to a concert with her friends and she also stayed with us for a night. We had fun staying up late and being goofy. :) That's what my family does best!...the goofy part.

Wow....nerds :)

Bob and Denise came down right after AL and Sharla left. I don't know what I would have done without Sharla and Denise! They were so helpful to have around. Thank you!!!
Justin didn't tell his parents that he was coming and boy were they surprised. They had no idea even though Justin had given it away about five times! I am so glad that Justin decided to come out with us. We had so much fun!

I was also able to meet up with a bunch of my cousins that I haven't seen in years. It was so good to see everyone!! Thank you for making an effort to get together even though it was only for a night. We had fun eating food, catching up and of course laughing! Never a dull moment with these guys!

My cousin Holly had her baby shortly before we got there. Preston is such a cutie! I love all of his hair!! Congrats Holly and Shane!

Here is the other set of cousins. Thanks again for letting us invade your house and eat your food! It was a blast. Hopefully it won't be another three years before we get to see you again!!
