UTAH

We started our trip out in Mapleton. While there we were able to catch up with old friends, spend time with Nate's family and eat at some favorite restaurants.
We also spent some time in Salt Lake City.




Nate and the two older boys also took advantage of the newly fallen snow and went skiing/snowboarding. The boys are naturals and can easily (and quickly) get down the mountain.

Grandma Elaine also had fun activities for the kids like marshmallow gun wars, searching for bald eagles and an early egg hunt.


Friday morning we headed to Logan to help get things ready for the baptism.

Mac had the opportunity to get baptized with his best buddy/cousin, Aidan. These two were born 5 weeks apart and have such a good relationship with each other. It was so fun to see them share such a special day together.









And what's a trip to Logan without a quick run to the farm?

The rest of our time in Logan was spent just relaxing with my family. It's clear in the pictures that my kids have no problem warming up to people they don't see very often.



Goodbye's are never fun. Mac especially takes them hard. It's nice to know we'll be back for another visit in a few short months.


The kids were amazing travelers. And believe it or not, I only had one person who asked me if all four kids were mine. :)

After cramming so much excitement in to 8 days, this picture of Jilli captures how we all felt by the time we rolled up to our house at 1:00am.

It was wonderful to spend such a special time with such great people. Congrats to McCade on making such an important decision to be baptized. We are so proud of you buddy!

Jam, you have such a cute family. I think it's so fun that you were able to come to Ut for the baptism. Do you feel old having an 8-year-old? :) (by the way you look amazing!) Glad you had a great trip. One of these times when you're here I'd love to see you. Love ya!
