First Family Vacation

This weekend, we were able to tag along with my parents for a last minute get away. We had so much fun, and enjoyed some nice weather. I tried to take lots of pictures of our first family vacation, so here are some highlights of our trip.

We started out bright and early Thursday morning heading to our Montpelier Grocery Store, for the opening of a new Pharmacy.
Thursday night we stayed in Salt Lake. My Parents & Bridger went to the Jazz game, and since we didn't know we were going with them, we couldn't get tickets. So, we went to P. F Chang's and to Temple Square. There is such a beautiful spirit there.

Friday morning, we traveled to St. George with my family so my Dad could spend time with his parents, and so they could meet Kai for the first time. My Grandpa and Grandma are both recovering from major surgeries this past month. They are troopers.
After spending a few hours with my Grandparents in St. George, we left my family there to spend the weekend with them, and headed to Las Vegas to see Dallin's sister Camille and her cute family. She sure knows how to have a good time (and she takes great pictures!)
Camille, Jarom, and the boys were fantastic tour guides. We had a great time shopping around at Town Square Mall, eating at some really fun places, and hanging out at their cute home.

Kai was an angel baby the entire trip! He is now 8 weeks, and we are really enjoying him. Isn't he cute??
Aiden and Canon are such smart and funny little boys. We laughed and had a great time with them, although Aiden told me I wasn't very good at pouring milk on cereal. haha. I wanted to pack them up, and take them home with us. See you in June!
Head over to Camille's blog Simplify, and check out her new patterns. (I don't even sew, and her new stuff has inspired me to think about giving it a try;) Camille is headed to Quilt Market in a few weeks, and we are thankful she took some time out of her busy schedule to hang with us. She is so talented. Good luck!!

It was hard to head back home from Vegas. We left some nice 75 degree weather, to find out it had SNOWED at home!! Darn Idaho! Hopefully we will have some nice weather here soon! To update everyone a little, Dallin has started his second internship he needs to complete his bachelor's degree next summer. He is such a hard worker. I have loved staying at home, and spending time with my baby boy. I feel so blessed to have such good family and friends so close, and far away.

(Either it is getting too late, or I am just having issues with this post working the way I want it to tonight. Sorry the pictures and text don't all go perfectly together.)

Looks like a fun trip! I wish we could take a trip! This is the perfect time of the year to go to Vegas too! Next week is finals and all we have time for is studying. Oh and did I mention that we're babysitting 5 kids for 10 days? Yeah. I might have some sort of an idea of how it feels to be a mom. ha ha. Well, Kaizer blessing is this Sunday, right? Gosh, I was so excited to come but we're babysitting! I think Kory's going to try and sneak away! As soon as we're done with school and babysitting we're gonna make a try to Rigby and we'll have to hang out! Tell Dallin hi for us! See you later!

And I'll say it again, your little guy is so cute...eat him right up! Enjoy the tiny months, they get big too quick!

Camille said...

We miss you guys! It was so fun to have you here, the boys are still asking when you are coming back. You definitely passed the cool test, Cecily. ;-) Even if you can't pour milk very well. It was so fun more time with you, I wish we didn't live so far apart! You'll have to do something about that one. Love you guys!
