Utah Trip Part II

The kids were all so excited to have Uncle Wil in town for the weekend. He was so nice and even let the kids have a sleepover on the trampoline with him. Zach, Whitney, and Devin made it all night outside, Ashlyn lasted 5 minutes.





While I was there Whitney had a couple soccer practices, a couple games, and picture day. My other brothers kid Drew is also on the team. It was fun to watch them play.

We had a lot of fun in Utah hanging out with all of the cousins. I even met up with a friend from Fresno that happened to be in SLC when we were. So glad to be home, but miss all my nieces and nephews!

New Family Photos















A really good friend of mine from elementary school took some pictures of our family while we were in Ut. They turned out really good. Here are a few of my favorites! If you are in the Utah county area I highly recommend her. You can go to http://amytwittyphotography.blogspot.com

Thanks again Amy!

PART I:
I came to Utah so that I could babysit my brothers kids while they took their oldest to a Baseball tournament in NY. I came into town just in time for some baseball games...so fun to watch my nephews play baseball, then we headed up to N. Ogden for a few days to visit with my sister in laws and their families. We had so much fun shopping, making flower hair bows, staying up too late talking, and watching a soccer game of Allison and Courtney's. Then we came down to West Jordan just in time to go to the open house of the Oquirrah Mountain Temple. So neat to take the kids there. Zach was in awww of the place. His favorite thing was that he could see himself forever and ever in the mirror. It was so great to see his excitement. Ashlyn LOVED all of the stairs...she kept saying I do it all by myself...I am sure that everyone behind her was loving the fact that she could walk up and down all the stairs by herself. Ha Ha. She also loved the brides dressing room. Mady...hmmm she loved the chocolate chip cookie she got after taking a tour. It shows in the pictures too. We have done a lot of swimming, went to see a movie, and just playing with cousins. We did family pictures one night, then went to meet up with Uncle Jes for Ice Cream. Here are some picture thus far...
