Utah trip!

Last week we were able to go to Utah for the whole week! I had such a great time visiting with some of my amazing family and friends. I dropped Noah off at the airport so he could go to Texas for his last bit of work training and then headed to my parents house.
Monday we went to my sister Erin's house and the kids had fun playing and spending time together.
Tuesday we went to the mall with Erin and Eli. Jaxon got a new Buzz Lightyear phone. He talked on it throughout his playground time.
Bath time was a huge hit with my kids. They love my parent's tub and had baths almost every day. Jaxon sure does love splashing.
Wednesday was a day of playing inside and going through our things in the basement. When we moved to Nampa we left about a third of our things behind and part of this trip was packing it all up and bringing it with us to Twin Falls. I went through every box to make sure we really needed it. About 4 boxes went to the thrift store.
Thursday we visited with my amazing friend Ginger. She has two adorable kids about the same age as mine. Usually Savannah and Maddy are great friends, but Savannah was a bit of a punk this visit and was not so nice to Maddy. Sorry again Ginger! Here is a picture of our boys together. Ben is such a cutie.
I also got a change to make a quick visit with my friend Nicole to see her new baby while Ginger watched my kids. This little girl is adorable! I made her a little hat and it was way too big for her little head.
Friday we met up with my friend Elise and her two boys at Kangaroo Zoo. The kids had a great time! Jaxon was more interested in the merchandise than the bouncy castles and loved running off while I was catching up on life with Elise.

Reed and Savannah had a lot of fun running around and Savannah has already requested a trip back there with Reed the next time we visit.


Jaxon eventually played a bit.

Savannah drank crazy amounts of water there and we had to stop and get more before picking up Noah from the airport.

Saturday we loaded up the truck and I took the kids for some pictures. Ginger takes great pics! We then met up for some family time and I took this picture of Savannah and her favorite person. She will openly admit that my dad is her favorite person in the world. I should have taken more pictures of the kids with my family and will remember to next time. Noah headed home Saturday night and the kids and I stayed Saturday night and left Sunday afternoon. We had a great visit and I hope we get back there again soon. I am so happy its only a 4 hour drive.

Sounds like a busy and fun week! I love the picture of Savannah and your dad - you can tell how much she adores him! So cute!

Jaxon is growing up FAST! He looks like a toddler in these pics! Didn't you just have him? Crazy!
