Mi Casa

At the very end of February, the girls and I went to Utah to visit my parents for 2 1/2 weeks. We went out then because Dave had a training out East for two weeks, and we all know it's no fun to be home alone with the kids for that long. It's hard. So we headed to good ol' Enoch.

The day after we got there, my dad had his last day of work. He is now retired. So we went to his retirement party.

 This is his cubicle.  He loves his planes.

And the rest of the time we played and played some more.

Jocelyn wore out Grandpa.

She read with Grandma.

I'm not really sure how this started but aren't they cute?

And there was an attempt at balloon animal making but it just turned into sword fighting.

My parents are going on a mission in June and so they are trying to get the house together before they leave (sorry I didn't help more). Jocelyn helped grandpa put up some storage shelves in the basement.

And then we got back to playing.

We had a picnic in the living room.

The girls looked cute.

And with all that playing, there was bound to be some of this.

I found Jocelyn like this one morning.  I don't think she remembered rolling off the bed nor did I hear her do it.

If you've been to Enoch, you know that it is a windy place. But of course the day we flew a kite, there wasn't much. Grandpa and Jocey were still able to get it in the air for a little bit though.

Other things we did were hang out with some of my friends and their boys, go shopping in St. George, enjoy multiple Sunday family dinners, go to my cousin's fiancee's (now wife) bridal shower, take Emma to Urgent Care to see why she'd had a cough for two weeks and didn't seem to be getting any better, read three books, watch movies, and just spend some quality time with my parents before they leave to Kentucky for three years.

On our last day, I made sure to get some pictures of my parents with the girls.  My girls just love my mom and dad, and I know they will miss not seeing them as often as they are used to, once they leave for their mission.

Thanks for the fun trip!

  1. I love the picture of Dad and Jocey dressed as bandits...or cowboys. I also love the last picture.
