Utah

We just got back from our much anticipated trip to Utah and it didn't disappoint! I decided I better get back home before this baby gets too big in my belly. We can't go home for Christmas now because I'll be too close to my due date, so we had to go at least once in the year and a half we're gone! I tell you, flying pregnant with a busy toddler sure made me realize how many good people there are in this world. Knox did great for the most part, but it was due to the kind people I met along the way. Poor guy I sat by on our last flight home held Knox while I threw up the last 30 minutes and was so sweet to do it. There are such good people in this world! I made the most of my ticket though and we decided to go for 3 weeks so we could hit up the Lion King with the parents, and then be around for when Matty came home! Pictures from our trip! Sorry for the overload...

Lion King with all those in the Tranter family who could make it. You can see we're missing quite a few, it was a year of a lot of moving!

We stayed at Julie's for the first few days and Knox LOVED his cousins!

And being a passenger in the Barbie jeep....

Jenny drove up from AZ and we took a trip to L-town to visit Grandma! That woman never fails to spoil us rotten. When we showed up, she'd made all our favorite goodies!

We took the kiddos to their very first movie! Knox did good as long as he had popcorn in his lap...

Fortunately it was still warm so we had a summer day and let them run through the sprinklers...

And Knox got his first popsicle...

Grandma had an awesome playhouse that Knox loved playing with!

And on our final day with Jen we hit up the aquarium! I am just now realizing I have no pictures of Jen and I together, or my grandma. I'm the worst picture taker ever.

We then spent the remainder of our trip with the Tranter's and had such a fun time! Thank you for letting us bum at your house for 2 whole weeks! Grandma has a tractor that Knox just couldn't get enough of...

We weren't the perfect guests...Knox dumped chocolate milk all over grandma's stroller so we made him clean it off...

He soon figured out it's much more fun to drink the water...

I can't believe I got to see so many friends while I was there and didn't get a picture with a single one of them!! It was so good to see you Star, Kristin, Tiffany, Ledah, Allison, Kristi, Amy, Heather, Juliana, Mariette, Carrie, and even my friend from Scranton Jenny! I have such amazing friends! I wish I had more time to see all of them! I got a picture of Knox playing with Drew while me and Star chatted....

Amy and I took the boys to Wheeler farm and Knox spent most of his time chasing the geese...

And bugging Zac. They were so cute together!

We did a lot of fun things with the Tranter's! We were lucky enough to be there for all our favorite things! What would a trip in September be without the fair? Not cool. That's what it would be. They had the cutest little farm for the kids. Uncle Robert helped Knox navigate through...


We were also there for Lagoon! And even though my options for rides were limited, Knox sure got his money's worth!


And lastly, our little buddy came home! I'm so glad we got to stay there with him a few days and hang out while he had nothing going on, and we didn't either! We got our bonding time with little Matt-U!



We're still going through withdrawals being home. We miss our family but we sure missed Dave while we were gone! Thanks to all for making it such a memorable trip!
