A Quick Trip

We decided to take one last trip to Utah since Kevin starts his job next week and we won't be able to go anywhere for a while. We couldn't stay long just a few days, since Lizzy and Nellie were missing school. Kevin's family was having a family reunion and we thought this would be a good time to go and see everyone. We hadn't seen Sandy in over a year and Kristi even longer, but unfortunately Kristi couldn't come, but we did get to see Sandy and that was a lot of fun. Even though the drive is over 10 hours, it really wasn't so bad since we all got to drive together and it wasn't driving halfway across the country. We stopped at Burger king for and the girls thought the crowns were the coolest things ever.
Gotta love the urchin looking children. We you drive all day it seems the kids get so dirty and gross. Janie really liked her little crown.
When we got there we stayed with my sister Chanelle and her boys happened to be having a star Wars party. They were nice enough to let the girls join in. This is the girls being Jedi's. This picture makes me laugh because the girls look like they are so lost among all this boy stuff, but it really wasn't the case, they did have a lot of fun.
The little group watching the clone wars. It is good for my girls to get exposed to boy stuff.

We went to the reunion the next day and had a lot of fun. Nellie and Conner were best buddies and had a lot of fun playing together. Lizzy and Brinlee were so excited to see each other, but I somehow didn't get a picture of them together.
Nellie really was just all about the junk food. Shocking I know. They really got all hyped up on sugar that day, but sometimes you just have to let it go and realize every once in a while is not going to kill them.



The kids got to take turns with the pinata. Janie was so cute taking a swing.

Nellie did pretty good too. The girls have been playing baseball with their daddy lately. (who says you need boys.) they have been loving learning how to hit the ball.


Lizzy really took it out on the pinata. I didn't get to see, but I guess she got super intense over it. I have no idea where she would get that from. ;)

I love how Nellie and Conner were holding hands. It was so cute.

The two monkey babies licking their suckers and getting sticky.

All of the little grandkids together. Such super cute kiddies. They had a lot of fun together even if it was only for an afternoon.

On the trip home Janie got super nasty. She pulled out her pony tail and then poured punch all over her hair. She was nasty and sticky. Pictures never do full justice to how bad stuff really was.

We had a fun little trip and were so glad we got to go.
