Utah - March

We don't have a lot of new things going on right now, so I thought I'd post some pictures of our quick trip to Utah back in March. My friend Shalece was getting married, so Willa and I took a quick trip home to see the wedding and visit family. It was a short trip, but very fun and busy!

Baby in the baby stroller

Out to eat at Nordstrom's - I think we paid $7 for a kids meal that ended up being Kraft Mac n Cheese

Reading and playing with Best Cousin Friend Brody, they played outside for FOUR hours!!

The Swing - Willa must have spent half of our visit in this swing. It was heaven and just out the back door!

My mom had everyone over for a pre-Easter dinner and egg hunt while we were there. It was so fun to see everyone and to join in on the party. Here are all the cousins, with Willa trying to make a quick escape. I do also want to note that Uncle Chris's baby whispering is just as effective as usual. After a few well-placed tickles and games, he was able to scoop her up without a cry and she just stayed in his arms!

The highlight of the trip for Willa (and me) was definitely the backyard! She didn't know what to do with herself - it was like having a park just outside the door! The first thing she did in the morning was run to the back door and try to open it. It was also the last thing she tried to do in the evening. I went to get her toothbrush and came back to find Grandpa pushing her in the swing in her pajamas. She wanted to go out ALL.THE.TIME and then she would ride in that swing over and over again. She has always been an easy baby, but she was SO easy on this trip because there was so much space to play and play inside or outside without getting bored. She would just go and go for hours. It made me realize how much easier some things would be in a house with a yard. It was so fun to see everyone. Ryan's brother Robert and his wife even made it out for a visit! We can't wait to go back for a longer trip in July.
