The rest of the Utah trip....finally


We spent practically all of Saturday at the pool. We took them both out this time so it was Jordyn's first time. She didn't like it at first but once she got used to the temperature of the water, she loved it. We went back to the condo to take naps and then back by the pool with the whole extended family for a yummy dinner catered by Famous Dave's barbecue!! Yummy!! It took great effort to keep Makenna out of the pool to eat. She was back in as soon as we were done but now she had all of her cousins to join her. And then we got smart and went in to the indoor pool when the sun went down. It was so nice and warm!!

I kept telling Makenna to turn around so I could take her picture. She kept telling me no so I said that I would just take a picture of her bum. She said, "Noooo!! Don't take a picture of my bum!!" This is the pic that I got;)

The next morning, the whole family came to our condo before they left to go home (we were staying an extra night) and we had brunch. Then Nancy and Aunt Cathy organized an ancestor treasure hunt where we learned about the family that came before us. And then they shared Gordon's poems (I shared one in a previous post) which were awesome!

After everyone else left, we relaxed and just hung out with Travis' parents. The playground and pool were right out back from the condo so we let Kenna play and run around.

All I have to say is Little Einsteins. Jordyn just sat there staring at it. It was so cute.
Snuggling with grandpa.
Relaxing in the hammock on our porch. We also found a snail that fascinated Kenna. She's looking at it in the bottom pic. It's in front of that wet streak on the ground.
Ready to go home!! Jordyn was ready to sleep before we even got in the car. I asked Makenna to take the pic of her when she fell asleep. I think she did a pretty good job.
This is what I saw when I looked back when we were almost home. Is that just precious or what???

10 months and family fun....

I realized that I haven't posted in a week. It's been a combo of Travis painting the den and having a ton of crap in front of my computer, us being out of town for his family reunion and just not feeling like it;) We had a great time in Utah and it was nice to get away. I will post pics soon of all the fun. Makenna also continues to make me laugh. We decided to get some dinner and then walk around the St. George temple and I was trying to get her to hurry up and eat her burger. She then tells me, "Hold your horses!!!" We about busted up laughing. Travis tells her that all the time and it was just too funny coming out of her mouth.

Jordyn also turned 10 months on Friday and she got another tooth!!! I guess she likes to get new teeth on her monthly birthdays;) When looking at her, its her second one to the left on top. This makes eight in all and I hope she takes a little break for a bit;) She still weighs around 20 pounds. She's pretty much leveled off in that category. She crawls and cruises around the furniture too much to gain much weight right now. She's also gotten stingy with her kisses lately. She picks and chooses when she will allow us a kiss;)
