Utah Fun


Our Utah fun continued even after Danny got home. We had a wonderful time all being together. We did miss Josh and Dawson because they had to leave early to get back to work. We also missed Josh since he obviously couldn't be there because he is on a mission, BUT we all got to talk to him on the phone that next day after Danny got home before Dawson and Josh left. It was great being able to talk to him. We all appreciate his mission president for letting him move his mothers day phone call to the following Thursday. 

These are just a couple of cute pictures of Scarlett before we left for your trip.




We began our 10 hour drive. We ended up leaving at 4am so the kids would be asleep for some of the drive.  They both were SO GOOD!!! Payton just watched movies though whole time and was so good at telling us when he needed to go potty. Scarlett mostly slept and ate. She did great!




Once we got to my parents Payton just torched the dog the whole time. He really loved following grandma around, feeding the dog treats, watching Toy Story 2, going to the park, playing with his Uncles and Aunt, and got his grandpa to make him anything he wanted. Payton and Scarlett are very spoiled in my family since they are the ONLY grandkids. (till July that is)

Danny brought us some awesome gifts. Payton got this jersey and he found the head band and wrist warmer in Danny's suitcase.

Payton bugging Calvin 



Our cute little Squeaker! She totally doesn't have a one of hair.



She easily got comfortable with her Uncle Danny.
 She is getting so good at smiling. 

She loves her grandpa!

I had to take a close-up of Calvin. This is the dog Payton chased around, pulled him by the tail, and carried him around like a baby. 

Uncle Dawson and Scarlett.

So funny story....My brother in law Dawson won the St. George Biggest Loser Competition and for the competition they made life size cut outs of them when they started.  So Dawson kept his and brought it to my parents house. Payton called the cut out 'Big Dawson', and real Dawson was just 'Dawson'.
 Side note: Dawson you did an amazing job and you look great! Keep working hard!

Another funny story...My brother came out in these shorts that he got from Ecuador and I thought for sure he had them on backwards. I laughed for a long time because seriously they looked like they were backwards.

Isn't she SO cute!

Payton put so much hair gel in his hair, and his grandpa spiked it all up.

I know this isn't the best picture of my sister but I just have to blog her. I think she is 31 weeks pregnant here! She looks so good!

This was Scarletts spot at Sunday Dinner.
