Utah Trip

On 10:00 a.m on Friday, I decided it would be a genius idea to hop in the car and drive to Utah for the long weekend. My husband is either really sweet or scared of me (I think it's a mix of both, actually) and he agreed. :) So after laundry, packing, and last minute errands we didn't end up leaving until 2:00 p.m. It actually was a REALLY fun drive and the kids did really well. The way home was a different story. In fact, the way home was so bad that I might get a headache even blogging about it, so I think I'll skip over it entirely. Let's just say the kids screamed, the traffic was horrid, Sophie had about 10,000 blow outs, and what should have been a 10 hr drive ended up almost taking 14 hrs.

But back to the good times, we had SO much fun! I've always been anti-Utah but I was semi-converted over this past weekend. :) The weather was GORGEOUS, the mountains were calling my name, and I could definitely live in American Fork. That won't happen, so in the meantime, we'll keep visiting..

Brent fell asleep like this. We thought he was just playing, but after about 30 minutes I realized he was actually asleep. It was so funny- he stayed in this position for about 2 hrs (on the way. there was NO sleeping on the way home..)



Brent looking out at the backyard at my brothers house. He LOVED their swing set and would sit and stare out the window.



My nieces Brooklyn and Brynn



Hanging with the girls



CHEESE!! Niece Brynn



This stroller was the source of much contention over the weekend... and can you believe Brent is YOUNGER than Brynn? He towers over her! She is an itty bitty thing!



Scott and Brynn



Brynn again... can you tell we were smitten with her? She is the tiniest, cutest, happiest little thing I've ever seen in my life. Scott almost stuck her in his suitcase because he fell in love with her.

We had to drag Brent out kicking and screaming...he did not want to leave the canyon!

I have to go to school and take a math test. Should be interesting! :)
