Seattle Vacation

Justin and I went to Seattle May 20th-26th. Justin stayed until the 29th for work. We stayed with Paige and Devan and had a blast! Seattle was beautiful, and I never saw a drop of rain. Justin even got sun burnt. We went to Pikes Market on Thursday,Friday we went to the Museum of flight. Both were really neat. We were able to walk through the original Air Force One plane. It was crazy! On Friday night we went to Oceanaire for dinner. It was our fancy meal. I had lamb that was amazing, Justin had steak and lobster, Devan had salmon and Paige scallops. We really enjoyed it. Saturday we went to the Locks and watch the boats go from the Harbor out to sea. It was really interesting. Sunday was church and relax day. Monday Paige and I went for a run and Devan and Justin went to the gym. Then Paige and I went scrapbook shopping and met up with the guys for a BBQ with some people in their ward. After that we went to the track and bet our life savings on the ponies! J/K But it was fun to watch the races. Then we had Tai food for dinner. It was good. A lot spicy but really tasty. I left bright and early Tues. Morning. I flew into Weiser and picked up the girls and drove home. It was a nightmare. Urban screamed for 4 of the 5 hours. By the end Hazel was pinching and hitting him because she was so annoyed. I tried to stop her but felt like doing the same thing. Let just say I won't be doing that again. Justin stayed and worked for the next four days and enjoyed hanging out with Paige and Devan some more. It was such a fun trip! Thanks Paige and Devan!! And also a big thanks to Steve and Mary Ann for taking our girls. They had so much fun! They are still talking about grandma and all the things she gave them and did with them. Thanks so much!!! Here are some pics of our trip.

Easter Vacation

































For Easter we made the long journey to Weiser. The kids actually traveled really well. Urban had been screaming bloody murder everytime he was in his carseat for two weeks, so we were worried. But he did great. I had to sit in the back alot to entertain him, but he never cried. While we were in Idaho, we stopped by Beau and Em's for the night. They were nice enough to put us up for the night. Layla loved playing with Echo and Hazel and Porter played really well together. I made Justin go shopping with me to Winco, the best grocery store in the world. It's almost half the price of what we pay in Utah. In Weiser we had a great time. We played games, the guys shot guns, had a Easter egg hunt, played kickball and played at the park. After that, we came back to the house for a late lunch/dinner, it was great! We finished off the day with a four wheeler ride. The girls had a blast and we loved being with the family. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can do it again.

Urban's 4 month checkup

Urban had his 4 month check up about 2 weeks ago. I know I'm a little late, but i just wanted to let everyone know how big my son is. He was 18 and a half pounds, 27 and 1/2 inches. For both height and weight he is 95 to 99 percentile. His head moved up to the 40th percentile. Again he is a massive boy with a tiny head. He is doing really well and we all love him. So far he is just a mellow smiley little guy. Wouldn't trade him for anything!!
