Friends and Family

Okay, last blog from our trip LAST MONTH to Utah. Rick's family left after the first week and we stayed out there to visit some family and old friends and hang around Provo and remember when we were young and irresponsible....

We stayed at my aunt and uncles for a few days and had a big snowstorm while we were there. The kids had a blast playing outside AGAIN in the snow. Cole really hadn't been out to play in the snow at all until this, he was mostly excited about it:)
I think he liked the snow, but wasn't a huge fan of his marshmallow suit.....
We started and ended our trip with a visit to urgent care with Cole. He slept awfully pretty much the whole trip so I was convinced both times he had an ear infection.....the jury is still out on that one...I think he just likes his own bed.My parents drove out for part of the weekend to see us and that was so fun! We went bowling, out to Kneaders for breakfast, and back to the Brick Oven for dinner, and just played. The kids were so excited to see their Grandma and Grandpa.

And my sister Nicole goes to school in Provo so we were able to see her lots, which was so nice. We went to Cafe Rio, Red Robin, shopping, and got to see her apartment.
I very possibly look intoxicated in this picture, but it was the last day of our trip and I think 15 days of sketchy sleep had finally gotten the best of me.
The kids LOVED bowling, so much that Carson decided that's what he wanted to do for his birtdhay party.
You know how there's those kind of friends you can not talk to or see for awhile and then just pick right back up with when you get together? That's how we felt when we got to hangout twice with some of our best friends from BYU days, the Adamsons. Our kids seriously had a blast with their kids, and we had a blast with them.

We met up with my cousin Elise and her hubby and sweet little girl. I guess I wasn't super good at pictures this day, but did happen to snap this one while the kids played ring around the rosy. Did I mention this trip made me really want a basement? None of those in Florida. We also met up with two of my other cousins Janelle and Joel and their families (I haven't seen Joel since I was in 9th grade!) Somehow I forgot to take any pictures...lame.
Of course we hit a few things we miss from Provo too.....mostly food. In and out, Tucanos, Cafe Rio (multiple times), and the mall. This was the coolest train that just cruised all over the mall. Love it.

All in all a fun trip. Can't wait to go back!

I wish we could have somehow made our way there too! It's always fun to go back to Utah and reconnect with people. Very fun mom and dad made it out to see you guys. Carson looks super long in these pictures- he must be growing!
