...ViSiToRs...



So my mom and sister Amy came out to visit the begining of September and we had a BlAsT! We spent a couple of days in Washington D.C. and enjoyed the sites there. Sorry no pictures, I forgot to take my camera out and I also forgot to get pics from their camera's. Oh well.
While in D.C. we were able to go up to the top of the Washington memorial. You could see EveRyThinG from up there. We even spotted the Temple. What a site that was! It's crazy that in our world today the safest feeling comes from just seeing the House of the Lord.
On the way home we got stuck in the storm. It was raining so hard. All of us were a little nervous. It took us a little longer to get home, thanks to a kid that spun out infront of us and almost caused a head on collision, but thanks to my AmaZinG driving we got home safe!
Sunday we went to church and Amy was able to experience a branch for the first time. It's a little shocking at first, but she stuck it out and had a great time.
Monday Amy and I started pulling weeds and it turned into an all day project. Thanks to my mom for watching the kids we were able to pull out some bushes in the front of the house and plant some more plants and flowers. Amy you are a lifesaver! I have been trying to get Mike to help me pull them out the whole time we have been here, but it's been a year and nothing. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Tuesday they were going home. It was a hard goodbye for me. I didn't want them to leave. I don't know when we are going to go back to UT, so I will miss them. Not just them, but the whole family.
Thank you both for the fun week and hopefully we can do it again.

...Going HOME...

Payton was so excited to come home. He was pretnding to sleep while we were waiting to board. We told him that he could take a nap on the plane and then we would be home. He just couldn't wait!All Xo wanted to do was to look out the window. I would put her on my lap and she would wiggle her way right back to the window. I am sure the people infront of her loved it!



As we were getting ready to land we had to buckle Payton up and he hated wearing that thing. As you can see he flipped around to his belly and was trying to slide off the seat. Kids!


Payton was waisted! The day after we got home this is what happened as he was eating his lunch. When I took the picture I think the flash scared him because he jumped, woke up, and started crying. We took him to bed and he got a good 2 hour nap.


Now life is back to normal. Mike is back in school and we are home hanging out w/ friends and having a great time. Payton couldn't wait to get home and play w/ Isaac, Matt, Janers, and his new friend Gage. We really are blessed to have a great family here in PITT! Thank's guys.

The final day in Utah



We had a BlAsT the last day we were there. When we got there we remembered that a Five Guys had just opened in S.L. and we were so EXciTeD! We kept talking about it and telling people they had to go and try it out. So the last day we were there, my whole family decided to go. I hope they enjoyed it because it is one of our favorite hamberger joints.
After we ate, we went to the park and played around. As you can see the parent's joined in as well. When we got the park there were quite a few people there, but I think when they saw the adult's on the toy's the way they were, they got out of there w/ their kids as fast as they could. It's good to see we can ClEAr an area in more ways than one. You know what I mean Mike King!
By the end of the night we found ourselves running around playing tag and ending the night playing big booty. If any of you need a really good laugh, play that game w/ my Dad. It was the perfect ending to a PeRFeCt trip. Thanks to EVerYOne who helped us have a great time.
