Utah Road Trip

Last year when Vander was born Joel and I both were blessed with a 3 month maternity leave. With that we decided to hit the road with our fresh little man and travel to see the extended family in Utah. With Presley, although I was not blessed with the 3 month maternity leave this time around, Joel thankfully was!

So we hit the road and took a nice short 12 hour drive to Salt Lake City with two little ones in tow.

Thankfully Vander was more than content watching Lion King, Lion King 1/2 and Lion King 2 the entire way there and back. Its safe to say he kinda likes Lion King :) He only became grumpy come time to sleep in the car because hes a tummy sleeper like his mom and it is NOT comfortable to sleep sitting up straight in a car. Presley did amazing and only cried once when her ears were probably popping and then every 3-4 hours when it was time to eat.

Overall a very successful road trip! We had a blast seeing family and can't wait to come up again when we have baby number 3... Which is NOT a pregnancy annoucement otherwise I would probably be laying dead on the floor right now from shock.... ;)

 Vander loved playing in grandma and grandpa tatts backyard...

Exploring...

What happens when Vander plays on a plastic chair

(It falls backwards.... Picture captured mid fall)

 What mom and dad do to the chair to prevent future flips...

 What vander does when we don't let him play on the chair anymore... pure rage

 Hanging out with daddy on grandpas comfy chair

 Presley snuggling with Grandma Tatt

 Park time with family. Loving the chalk- not to draw with, but to put the pieces in and out of the box... over and over and over

 Our little sweet girl just chillin

 Vander trying VERY hard to get the chalk out of the plastic wrap

 Hogle Zoo.... I THINK Vander may love animals ;)

 Pure JOY of seeing an elephant!
