Utah Cousins!

We had a whirlwind trip to Utah filled to the brim with fun...
...Our favorite moments from this trip...

Nina opening her mother's day present-the look on her face.
William jumping onto Uncle Paul's lap and hugging him as soon as we arrived.
Hardly seeing William at all the first day because he just ran with the kids all day.
All of the adults at Rodizio with no children and LOTS of food-Dave especially enjoys chicken hearts.
William looking really glum while blowing out his kachow candle(he was sick).
Swimming at the rec center and watching crash in the water at the end of the enormous water slide.
The babies going down the little slide at the rec center.
Doing NOTHING all day friday and finally showering and getting dressed at about 4pm-heaven!
John playing in the flower pot at the Rich's party Saturday.
The carousel at the zoo-Henry tried to get back on another animal-he just loved it.
Clara hopping on the ladybug and riding too! (I'm impressed she hopped up there pregnant)
John pushing the double stroller and then Henry jumped in to help too (we were the funniest exhibit at the zoo)
Throw up, poop, etc cleaned up all weekend!
3 Babysitters to watch the kids friday night
Robbie's homecoming talk-where we hung out in the nursery because the kids were so naughty.
William's birthday bash with maple walnut cupcakes-mmmm!
Watching all the kids hover around William while he opened presents-so fun.
Dave and Paul making waffle batter on mother's day only to find out that we were all having breakfast at Clara's house.
Pedicures and Downeast.
Boys lunch.
Stopping to have snacks 10 minutes after we arrived at the zoo.
Caleb going down the huge water slide the most out of everybody.
Bethany, Mer, Joe, and Nate doing super jumps and bum wars on the tramp for hours.
teaching Joe and Nate how to play "odds or evens" (possibly one of the most stupid things I have ever done)
Watching Brooke sew on Nate's Jr. Ranger Badge-she is good-I need lessons.
Having all the kids together all the time was the best, we can't wait for the wedding in August!

I love this! Thanks so much for coming out. And I'm glad you caught Nina opening her present because I didn't get to see that part!

Great pictures! It's so fun that you have so many little kids in your family for your kids to play with. We seriously have none. Glad you had fun in Utah!
