zoo

We went to the zoo one afternoon after naps (not ours - our cousins).  It was warmer than it looks.  The girls mostly wanted pictures on all the statues.

Great Grandma Browns

When ever we go to Utah I always make sure my kids spend a few hours at their Great grandparents house.  It is so important to me that they have memories of them and their house.

Out with the fam

One  night we got like 5 different babysitters and all the adults went to cheese cake factory.  

Bounce House

One afternoon we took all the kids to Jump Around Utah.  It was crazy fun!

The "big kids" loved helping Caroline through all the bounce houses and tunnels - it's still up for debate was to whether Caroline liked it or not. :)

There is mostly just pictures of Madison becasue she is the only one who still likes to hang out with me at things like this. ha

The kids got to go in a hurricane thing - now that they have their own money they love spending it on things I have always said "no" to.

Baby Eddie did not like it and we pulled him out almost immediately.

I wanted to get a awesome picture of all of them jumping together.

Travis and Jeanne

Jason's brother and his family had moved up to Cottonwood Heights just a few months earlier - AND  they had a new baby - so we were so excited that we got to spend some time with them.

The kids loved playing with Gwen

And we all loved holding baby Marcus.

Hanna's for Thanksgiving

We went to Utah for a little over a week for Thanksgiving.  It was a nice slow holiday.  We stayed at my parents the whole time and spent most of our time just hanging out.  Usually when we go to Utah there are so many places to go and things and people to see that it is kind of crazy.  This time we just kind of relaxed.  

Madison got to reunite with Milo - she loves that dog.

The Fosters came from Las Vegas and we all stayed at my parents house.  It was the longest we have all been together at the house - it was crazy - but not that crazy, as they are getting older things seemed more manageable.  My mom got all her grandchildren Christmas pajamas - and we tried to get a picture... good luck!

Top row: Sam, Brock, Brad (Holding Mia (Daniel's)), Audrey (holding Caroline (Michael')

front row: Eddie, Noah, Megan (holding Mikey (Michael's), Madison

And a thousand more for good measure

Eventually Milo got in on the action

The Fosters

Mine (oh - Megan's hair) - they were NOT in the mood for more pictures

They played a lot of ping pong in the garage...

Hung out with Milo...

Hung out with babies (the BEST part) - it is so hard being away from family - especially when their are babies involved.  Mikey was adorable!

We also jumped on the tramp, took the dogs on walks, watched a lot of movies, and played some card games and dominoes. 

We officially had  Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncle's house.  Here is the kids table.
