Utah Trip!

So this year on conference weekend we all took a trip up to Utah. Andrew and I went up a tad earlier so we could make a quick trip up to Idaho and visit his grandparents. I've never met them and it's been a while since Andrew had seen them so we decided that we were too close not to go visit. We had lots of fun and it was nice to get to spend some time with them. We did quite a bit of driving.... 1400+ miles. I was so nervous to even go on that far of a trip with a 7 month old in a car seat. I took everything possible to keep him entertained. All I have to say is that Baby Einstein was a LIFE SAVER!!!! I propped the computer up in front of him, plugged the binky in and turned it on! There were times he was entertained for quite a while! I think it would have been alot longer trip with out it.
While we were in Utah we all went to Corn Belly's at Thanksgiving point. That was lots of fun! We went through the corn maze.... and after getting lost a few time we finally made it out. They had lots of fun props to take pictures at so we did of course.
One of the reasons we went to Utah was to take family pictures. We went up the canyon where the fall colors were SO pretty and thats were we had them taken. We haven't gotten them back yet though.
After pictures we went to a Brazilian restaurant called Tucono's. They bring out different kinds of meat on long skewers and cut you a piece off to try. It was SO good! They also bring out fresh grilled pineapple. I'm not a fan of hot pineapple but this was to die for! YUM!
On Saturday night all the guys went to the priesthood session of conference and of course all the of us girls went shopping!
It was a fun week and was fun to spend time with all of my family. Its always fun to get together with everyone.

Summer Update



This summer has just flown by! We've mostly been doing the usual, nothin too exciting. We went and visited family in Safford a few times which is always fun. We also played CoEd Softball again this year. We were on the Henling Tech team. Lots of fun! We won the championship again too! Camping came and went. It was lots of fun like always.
Dallin is just growing and growing. Getting to be more fun everyday! He will be 7 months old next week! I can hardly believe it. I love watching him learn new things. Learning how to roll over, trying to sit up, discovering that he has hands and that he controls them, finding out that he has a voice, and so many more things. He loves his bath time and loves to play with dad. Andrew can always get him to laugh!
One night I decided to try and play with my camera so I could figure out how to take better pictures with it...... and lets just say that I won't be doing that again. Some how I erased all my pictures that I had taken, over 500. I wanted to CRY! Thank goodnes I had already put most of them on my computer already. So here are a few that I have taken over the summer... the ones I didn't lose.

I could help but get a picture of this! This is what I found after Dallin woke up from his nap one afternoon. Made me laugh!

I almost walked right into this one night as I opened the back door!

He is such a goof ball! We put the binky in side ways and he tried to suck on it.... it didn't work. LOL!
