Our trips to Utah

So as many of you might know, we have been making quite the appearences in Utah recently! We went down about three weeks ago for a baby shower me and my sister Sierra threw my cousin Alana. It turned out awesome, she got alot of good stuff and I always love getting to see and catch up with everybody. That was a short trip though, we got there that friday night and left sunday afternoon. However, we still got to see my sisters Sierra and Denise, and Eric's sister Stephanie because Eric and I are just so awesome like that. hehe.

This is Cooper, one of Stephanie's boys. Whenever we go over there we never manage to take pictures..I guess because I am always too busy talking to Stephanie. :) But cooper is such a cutie, he runs wherever he goes, and is laughing all the time! Noah is his big brother and he is such a sweetheart of a boy too. He was taking a nap so I couldn't take pictures of him. This is Alana my cousin, who we threw the shower for. They are having a baby boy and are going to name him Gabe! I can't wait to see the little guy, he will be quite the cutie, I mean, just look at his momma!

This is Wyatt boy and Olivia playing with their toys. He is the most friendly baby! If you simply make eye contact with him he will just be SO smiley with you and always is so happy. He is always interested in Olivia and wants to play. I miss him so much when I have to leave!

The second trip we took down to utah was a little bit longer! Eric had an interview for medical school in West Virginia, which he loved! He said the people there were SO nice, he loved the town, and the place we would live. It was hard being away from him for three days though. I HATE sleeping alone! Olivia missed him alot too. I never thought little 8 month olds would notice, but she did! It was so sad. I have to tell you guys this story... So we were staying at Sierra's house, and Bryn, he hubby came home from class. Sierra started saying "Yay! Daddy's home! Look! Daddy's home!" and that's the same thing I do to Olivia when Eric comes home. So bryn came in and started hugging and playing with wyatt, and I look down at Olivia and she is looking all around for Eric, over my shoulder, everything. It was so sad! She got kinda somber after that. Bryn started giving wyatt rides and olivia was just staring at them. Bryn gave her rides after that too which was nice, but I got so sad that Olivia missed Eric so much.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Olivia is climbing up on things and walking around them!! She has only been crawling for two weeks so I am in shock! Doesn't she look so cute holding onto that table though?

The "V" and Wyatt playing together..aka, Olivia taking toys away from Wyatt... :) at denises house. I give them back to wyatt of course, but how can I stay mad at that cute little face?

This trip we are able to spend more time with my cousin Kara and her Hubby Skyler which I was really excited about! They are alot of fun and are expecting their first baby girl on April 5th! They will be the cutest parents!

Olivia and I went out to eat at Olive Garden with Sierra, Bryn and Wyatt, Kara and Skyler, and Alana and Steve. And yes, I did take a picture of my drink...bc it was delicious! I wanted to show Eric. haha, but it's called the Strawberry Sicilyano or something like that, they will know what it is. Go get it!

We went over and painted Denise's bedroom and it was a ton of fun! It looked so good! I couldn't see it ALL the way done bc I had to go pick up Eric :) :) :) but this is how we contained the babies! Gavin, Wyatt and Olivia. they loved it!

Olivia looking so cute in the crib. I had to take a picture. Can you blame me?

Sierra and Blyn painting. We were lucky to have them! They are professional painters!! That's their job in the summer time, painting houses! and man are they good!

Sierra, and adorable wyatt, and of course Denise in the background! I love my family!

Needless to say, we had a great time! I love our family and all the hospitality they give us. We have a blast every time we go down and I will be sad when we move in a month and can't see them as often. So, we decided we will live it up while we can. Hence, all the trips down. And we love it!
