St George...

At the beginning of June we took a family trip down to St. George to visit our new baby cousin Allie, and to attend her baby blessing. We were also there to celebrate Kasen's birthday with him. Kaylee was beyond thrilled to see and hold her new cousin. She could not be separated from her the entire weekend.

The weather in Salt Lake was still quite cold (if you can't tell by the pic of my white legs below!!!) so it was nice to enjoy some sun! We had fun playing water balloon volleyball. The boys did get a little competitive though...

Silly cousins! Kasen, Zac, Kade, Kaylee, and Brayden 

Lacy, Kaylee, and Allie

It's nice that Nate and Adrianne don't have any kids of their own because ours are still interesting to them. They took all the kids to the farm to see the horses. 

Since we don't allow our kids to have sleepovers, they were beyond thrilled to have a giant slumber party with their cousins.

Sunday morning they blessed Allie at their home.

Kade and Allie 

Kade discovered a new "girl-friend" while we were there. This is Wes and Lacy's niece, and he demanded a picture with her before he would get up. 

Kaylee of course taking any opportunity to pose

Kaylee and Allie. Brayden was ticked at me because I didn't get a pic of him holding her as well. They all did surprisingly really well with her. 

Mike and I before the blessing

All of the cousins waiting so patiently

Wes right before he blessed little Allie 

She is such a tiny little peanut. It was so fun being able to hold her all weekend.  

Kaylee and Allie....again

Brayden (see I did get a pic of him with Allie) Mike, Kade, Me and Kaylee 

My kids get really car sick when we travel. This is a bonus side effect to the medicine we have to give them before long distances. Kaylee was out in the seat behind them.  Ah....silence:) 

I have heard stories about the petting zoo off the freeway exit in Scipio, so we decided to stop and stretch our legs. What an awesome way to get the wiggles out. Who knew Scipio had a zebra? (actually the zebra has now passed on, but the sheep and rabbits are really cool.) 

We had such a fun weekend with family, enjoying the sun, and a little time away from home!
