Utah Trip

I just have to say it...  we LOVED our trip to Utah.  We have fun every time that we go.  This was our first time visiting in winter and our first time driving from Waco. (We've driven several times from Lubbock)

We loved that people had more time off of school and work so we got to see everyone more.  We loved playing with all our cousins.  Our kids are blessed with 20 cousins.  They also all have cousins close to their ages.  Lucky kiddos!

We spent a day at the children's museum with some cousins.  What could be more fun that a wonderful place to play with wonderful people???


Kids love playing in water!


Grandma helping Claire "buy" her food.


Kaite's first sleepover with cousin Lincoln.

Dinner one night at Aunt Mel's.  It was our first time trying hot pot.  We loved it!  Super fun with family.

Watching movies with cousins.  Nothing like snuggling!

Santa Katie

These three kiddos are all within three months of each other in age.  Katie is the youngest and has no hopes of getting the cute chubby cheeks.  :)


On the drive to Utah I told Spencer that I really wanted to get a picture of Katie smiling.  She smiles at me a lot but the second I pull out the camera... smile gone.  So while we were there we got this cute picture.

And a picture with a little tongue.  :)

The finished product.  You can tell Lily sampled the goods and they must have been orange.

Baby Zizzy found a new toy called Katie.


Sleepovers with cousins

Snuggle time


I'm not sure what they were doing in the top picture but it looks fun.  These three girls are sure good friends!


The girls danced downstairs and the boys played games upstairs.

Uncle Ben and Uncle Kendel loving on Katie.

Dinner out to celebrate Nate's graduation.  As a joke we all pitched in and bought him a LOT of deodorant.  He was moving to China and we knew he wouldn't be able to get it there.  He thought it was funny to open all these bags with deodorant.

More trip photos to come but now I'm needed by three little girls.  :)h

Love seeing pictures of your kids! Makes my heart hurt that we all live so far away.
