road trip

i took the kids a few weeks ago to st. george, utah.

i drove up with my mom and spent the week with her, my aunt Sue and my grandma

my brother, dad, nieces and nephews and my sister's family all came up for the weekend

we also saw my cousin and his family and met my mom's two cousins she grew up with

it was a reunion of some sorts 

unfortunately, i was a mess the entire time because my kids did not travel well this time

lack of sleep & real food and sitting in a car so long was tough on us

poor molly cried almost the entire time we were there and if she wasn't crying she was yelling at my mom!  

molly has always had a special bond with my mom and all the grandkids call her nana

well molly up and decided to change her name to NO-NA and wanted all of her attention every second she was around.  my mom was a trouper and we did the best we could to keep little moo happy

but she didn't come around until we got home

here are some (not great) pictures of our adventure 

molly loved the car as long as she didn't have to be buckled

and connor fell in love with the movie tangled

*a special thanks to my family for all the help with my kids!

everyone was great! 

connor loves to help me clean at home and his specialty is windows 

 this is my grandma and her two nephews 

my aunt sue and my mom with their cousins 

in st. george there is a dinosaur museum 

actually, dinosaur tracks were discovered there and they build the building around a live 

excavation area...there were no actual dinosaurs there so connor was a bit disappointed

but the stamps and movie kept him happy as well as the toys his papa bought him

*thanks dad*
