Utah Trip Part 2-Outings and travel

Playin' at the Lake

Jayden loved the water

Craig and Paige having a "who looks cooler" contest.
The winner is obvious

This is a rare moment.  Carter didn't like going out on the jet skiis, and this was probably the only time he smiled out there.

"What do you mean it doesn't move by itself?!"

You missed a spot there Grumpy

"If I cuddle with Grammy and look really cute, she'll give me more fruit snacks."

Who needs to build a sand castle when you can just dig in the mud.

Cute boy

Cute boy Jr.

After all that fun, there's nothing better than relaxing on the beach.

You said it bro.

"Wait, This ride is going to do what?"

Practicing her innocent face for next time she gets pulled over.

Carter decided he was brave enough to try this roller coaster.

He's either dead or that ride was really boring.

"Ha Ha!  Look!  They're bananas!"

Pool Party!

Going for a stroll at Silver Lake

If you zoom in, you can see the moose we were looking at.  There was another one back in the trees too.

DUCKS!!

Tractor ride with Great Grandpa Anderson!

"Half marathon?  That was nothing."

Shhh! Be quiet!  It's praying.

Get it Jayden!

Go Faster Grandpa!

Either this bowl is too deep or my tongue isn't long enough

What a good big brother

All of this fun required a lot of driving time.
Carter decided building a fort would make it more fun.

Sup

Enough car rides already!!!!!

Utah trip part 1-Around the House

We spent last month in Utah while Craig was doing his audition in Provo.  We had a lot of fun but took WAY too many pictures.  Since Paige doesn't have Craig here to moderate the number of pictures posted, a ridiculous amount have made it as finalists for the blog.  However, it is being split into several posts, posted over the next few days (hopefully, or at least by the end of the week).

You're welcome world.

Ok this first one was not in Utah.
One morning Carter told Mommy that he wanted to feed baby Jayden.
Mommy handed him a small bowl of yogurt to feed her and resumed her duties in the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Mommy noticed Carter playing in the other room.
Mommy:  "I thought you were going to feed Jayden."
Carter:  "I did."
Apparently Carter's version of feeding Jayden only requires him to hand her the bowl.  We're not sure any made it in her mouth.  And that is not bed head, it's yogurt hair.

Waiting for Daddy's plane to land

These kiddos were sure happy to see their Daddy after two weeks away.

Coming home from work is a little piece of heaven.

Move over ribbons.
The new cool thing to put in your handlebars is pinwheels.

2 Wiggle kids

Love this picture of Grams!

"This dirt is not as good as I thought it would be"

"Yes, I am adorable even when there is dirt on my face."

Our poor apple tree decided it had had enough.

At least the part holding the tire swing survived!

"That was Awesome!!"

"Move over boys, you're going down!"

The best toys are free
(this is a Styrofoam molding if you can't tell) 

Helping Grammy do dishes.
Making funny faces always makes doing dishes more fun.

Helping Grammy empty all the towels out of the drawer.
Ooh, this one is soft!

Jayden:  "All this helping makes me tired."
Grammy:  "All her helping makes me tired."

Sharing a hammock ride.

Daddy can't even share a ride with himself.

Yee haw!

"Ok, I like this big one better."

Yee haw!
This one is the best!

Jayden loves tomatoes!

And balls.
And drawers.

Carter is getting so good at drawing now.

Nephi woke up to find this curious ball outside his tent.
"Whoa! It says we're going to Disneyland!"

Nephi practicing his engraving
