A Trip To Utah

Hello! It seems like it has been a while since we have updated our blog and that is because Jack and I were on vacation in Utah.  We decided to take the trip when we found out Staci and Mikale had babies so close together.  We thought we could go and help in anyway possible and ended up having such a great time.  Unfortunately, Preston was unable to go due to school schedule but we were happy he let us go.  Hope you enjoy the many pictures below.

Jack did such a great job on the flights.  We had a layover in Phoenix and I ran into a mission friend there, what are the chances right?!  I couldn't believe it!  I don't think I had seen Sister Lewis in like 10 years.  Our first stop was the Koudelka home to spend time with Staci and the kids.


Jack fell asleep from Phoenix to SLC.  It was great!! There was an empty seat open in the middle.  So grateful for that.



When we arrived at the Koudelka home these 2 cuties were waiting for us :)

                      

Of course we had to paint fingers and toes!


Jack received lots and lots of love from his cousins.


Liv loved helping give Jack a bath. She would just keep rubbing his head haha.


Oh yea! Home-made chocolate chip cookies with these 3 little helpers.


Alivia loved helping me feed Jack his baby food.  She would often ask, "Can we feed him his baby food now?" Sadly it didn't happen as often as she'd have liked it to. :)


We had a little mishap on the playground, poor guy had 2 big bonks on the head.  This was his first major owie.


Watching a movie with these crazies :)

We then headed up to the Calderwood home for Kami Mae's 5th birthday!! I cannot believe this little girl is 5 now!!


Kami in her Frozen dress and ready to party!


Me and Erin with the birthday girl :)


Proud parents. Corey and Angie with Kami.


Yep that's a pretty normal pic you would get of Jimmy and I :)


Ahhh much better.


Corey and his girls! Aubrey, Kami and Haley.


Angie reading to Jack and Kami.  Jack loves books!


Snuggle time with Aunt Erin.


So much love!


Cousins


Kam got a Kami Kangaroo from Erin and I and she loved it!  She was so happy it was so fun to watch.


I got to see NICK as well.  After serving a 2 year mission for the LDS church in Spain.  It was so great to see him and catch up.


Jack and I partying it up.  It was so much fun to see the Calderwoods (Corey's family).  We hadn't seen them since we had moved to Texas so it had been awhile :)  It was so great catching up with everyone and spending time together.

Off to the Williamson home to spend time with Mikale, Ammon, Kai, and baby Teagan.  We were very fortunate to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Curtis there as well.  It was so great to see them.


Grandma and Grandpa Curtis with some of their great-grand kids.


Lots of LOVE.


Kai and I enjoyed some basketball while Jack, Mikale and Teagan took a nap :)


The best I could get with these 2.  Someone was always on a move, haha.  And yes, Kai is a year older than Jack but you wouldn't guess by the size of that baby bear on the right ;)


A trip to the playground.  Kai was teaching Jackson all kinds of things.


Kai wanted to show us how strong he was.  So big right?!


Loved the mountains!!


We took several walks but the mountain air was a little chilly for this Texas boy.


Swinging


Kai showing Jack how to go down the slide backwards.


After a couple of fun filled days at the Williamsons we headed off to stay the night with Erin.  It was so much fun.  Rhiannon met up with us that night and Betsy came over the following morning so I was able to catch up with some of my besties.  Wish I had time to see everyone but time went so quickly.

That afternoon we headed back up to Midway for a couple days.  LOVED this shot of Timpanogas with snow on it.




Jack and I beat Ang home so we took a selfie while waiting.  Can you tell he just woke up from his nap? 


Cody Man and Jack

I not only went up to Midway to hang out with family but also to help Ang with some family pics.  I will do my best to not give anything away since the real ones will be even better but here's a couple pics I got while the photographer was snapping away :)


Such beautiful girls


What an adorable family! I cannot wait to see the rest of these.


Sibling Love


Uncle Corey getting a few squeezes and kisses in in between shots :)  Jack just loves him!


The following day we headed to Salt Lake to spend time with Jim and Hailey.


Squeezes

Proud parents to be :) Cannot wait to meet baby James!


Kami playing in the water and so happy.


The crew
                                   

Temple Square getting ready for Conference weekend which is when we listen to the prophet and apostles speak.  It was so great to be there. It was such a beautiful day.


Together Forever.


5 years ago these 2 were married here at the temple and now they are having a baby!  Love it :)


The flowers were so beautiful!!  Love this picture.


I think Hailey is ready for motherhood :) Cuddling with little man.


Jack loved when Uncle Jimmy would read him books.

We headed to the Curtis home for one final get together with the Clark side.  We were able to celebrate Brian and Mikale's birthdays as well.  It was great to see everyone.


Staci, baby Claire, Brian, Shelby, and one smiley Alivia.  Love these guys.


Mikale and baby Teagan so cute.


Here's to a Happy Happy Birthday you 2!

Jackson and I were also able to watch conference both with the Clarks and back up at Angie's.  We had such a great conference weekend.  The talks that were given were in incredible!!  I feel closer to my Savior and it made me want to be a better person all around.  I am so grateful for the Spirit that was felt.  I also wanted to take a quick second to thank everyone who made this trip so much fun.  It was so great to be with family again and for Jackson to play with Aunts, Uncles and cousins.  I know he had a lot of fun even with all of his teething sicknesses.  We can't wait to see you all again soon!!!


Slept both flights home.  He was one tired boy.


Daddy and son together again.  So happy to be back home!! I missed this man so much!
