Our UT trip!

Well, we're back!

Aside from the fact that when we arrived in UT, my nephew McKay and BIL Philip were sick...and Spencer now seems to have caught the bug, we had a GREAT trip! We got to do so many fun things and spending time alone with just Spencer was priceless. Thanks babe for taking off a few days to be with the other kids at home.

The day we were due to leave to come home (Tuesday), Spencer got a fever (101.5) and said his tummy hurt. Lovely. So I called JetBlue in hopes to change our flight and found out it was going to cost me $200 to do so. Ya, no thanks. So as much as I hated to do it, I dragged him on the plane at 8pm at night fully expecting a puke fest on isle 25...but he did great. We made it home and the puking began at 3am. But at least we made it home!!

Thanks to my sister Carrie for a wonderful time. I'm planning on going back up there the end of March (sans kids!) to help Carrie for five days when little Gabe joins their family. I can't wait for that! Thanks also to my cousin Tamie and her husband Ryan who hosted a yummy breakfast of coconut/banana pancakes and a fabulous day with the cousins!

Aside from returning home with a sick kid and humungous big house envy---oh and even more backyard envy (sigh), I'm so glad that we went. It was a great time! Here's a few pics of our trip:

Leaving for Utah! We rode on the plane with an Osmond, though not sure which brother it was. I was trying not to stare and have it look obvious I knew who he was, but it was kinda cool! lol
Just arrived and all bundled up in Aunt "Kiki's" car! He was SO excited, but this CA boy didn't know what hit him. It was COLD there at 11pm at night!

Aunt "Kiki" (Carrie) and her boys!
Sleeping in the sleeping bag at his cousins house was one of the highlights!

Dinner with my Grandma, Uncle Rob, and his girlfriend, Blythe
We met my friend Megan Wayman (Hill) at Ikea. We had so much fun. Megan is pregnant with her second boy (why didn't I get a pic of her Oliver?! He's so cute!) and it was so fun to eat, shop and get caught up.

The cousins LOVED Tamie's house because they had a rollercoaster there! They took a sleeping pad and slid down the long stairs to their basement. They couldn't get enough it, it was so fun!
Me and my beautiful sister Carrie (36 weeks pregnant)

Spencer helping to build an igloo in my cousin Tamie's backyard!
It was funny, because Spencer was the only boy to not walk on the sidewalk the entire weekend. Whenever he had the chance he took off through the snow.

Spencer and Mom
They had this neat room there where they could build things with wet sand. Spencer had a blast!
