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.

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

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!"

Summer Play Days

This boy is so clever.  He figured out how to tow his wagon behind his trike. 

Ta da!!!
Carter has finally conquered his big boy bike!
Go brother!!!

On your mark, get set, GO!
mmm.....pinecones
Victory!

Carter's first instinct was to crush this, but Mom talked him out of it.

Beautiful girl

What is this deliciousness?
mmmm!
I found some leftover sauce from dinner!

When you're 10 months old, you've got to wash more than just your hands.

Oh no!  Is it stuck that way?!

Cow day!
Love the socks!

Learning to play like a big kid

I will always win at sports because no one will dare take a ball from this face.

This jump roping business is trickier than it looks

Baby ball pit!

Fun with the cousins

Come on guys!  Let me play!

Best cousins!

A Break and a Lake


Guess this boy takes after his grandpas

Sir Carter

Daddy didn't want to be princess Ana

Carter tried to get out of eating his chicken nuggets by drinking both his ketchup and ranch dipping sauce.
He still had to eat the nuggets.

Carter was so excited to find so many dandelions up in the mountains!

Jayden likes dandelions too....until she tries to eat them.







"I can see Gunsight!"

Mom, are you sure this thing is my size?

Mommy........a little help please

4th of July is the best holiday.  You don't have to dress up and go door to door to get candy.  You stand in the road, and other people dress up and throw candy at you.

Waiting for the "Thunderworks"

Etiquette goes out the door when mommy brings you fresh cherries!
