Our family was able to go out to Utah to visit family this August and we had so much fun! It was great to break away from this suppressing heat here in Texas (the hottest summer on record). We have had 29 of 30 days over 100 degrees this August. Bleh!
Anyway, the girls and I headed out a week before our family reunion to play and then Mike joined us at Bear lake. The girls did awesome on the flight over, due to MANY prayers said on my behalf ensuring that I could take them by myself on the flight. No one cried the whole flight, that doesn't even happen at home!
We had so much fun playing at Grandma's and Grandpa's house, but I didn't take too many pictures of our playing and relaxing there. Here are a few that I did manage to snap.
This is Allie being "Tangled" and singing I've got a dream. She has this song memorized and it starts with "I'm malicious mean and scary" which is too cute coming from a 2 year old. We were at the mall and they had a kids table with toys at one of the stores with a viking character from Tangled. She ran up and said, "It's a Malicious Mean and Scary!"
"What are you doing to me mom?"
You might think that Hadley has lost her hair, but my view is that her head grew faster than her hair.
My Girls on my bed I slept in growing up. Crazy how time flies!
Allie got her first official hair cut from Aubrey and it looks so much better now in the back. We just have to keep having the conversation that only Aubrey cuts hair, not Allie!
Family night up the Canyon! I knew that I needed to go at least once up the canyon while we were there, so we meet up with Kevin and his family at the park to have some dinner and play around. Allie LOVED having cousins to play with and they all played so well together! I don't think there was one fight while we were all together the whole week!
The Hadster and Grandpa, she loved being held by her grandparents all the time!
Cute Cousin Jordo posing by the water. He always had a good smile for me when I took his picture, now if I could have him teach Allie, we would have a lot more pictures!
Lucky for us, not so lucky for Estee, she went overdue and waited for us to come to Utah to have their baby :). Baby Benson was 9 lbs 11 oz and has tons of black hair! I don't know how little Estee could have such a big baby, he looked like he was 2 months old on day 2! We were glad she waited so we could meet a fresh baby Benson.
The cute new family of 3, looking way too good for just going through labor the day before.
After dinner that night, Grandpa brought out the ice cream sandwiches, which all the cousins ate while sitting on their green chairs. Can I just say how much we loved being outside all the time! We thoroughly enjoyed the cooler weather and spent a lot of time out in the backyard in the shadow of Mt Timpanogos.
