Spring Break In Utah

Our Trip to Utah started out on Sunday morning at 3am, we figured if we left during the night we would get a few hours of kids sleeping and the trip would go quicker. No such luck! They all woke up and the whole 14 hour trip they all slept for only 1 hour. Our DVD player for the car wouldn't work, so the kids were kind of restless until we made it to Boise. Luckily we had our receipt and we were able to take it back to Target and exchange it. We got one that worked and the rest of the trip went very smoothly. While in Utah Will turned 6, I will do another post about his 2 different celebrations, but here he is opening presents at G-pa & G-ma Hanson's house.

I can't believe my little guy is 6 already!


While visiting G-pa & G-ma Chadwick the kids got these crocheted hats from G-ma. They all loved them but especially Madalynn, even now at home she wears it everywhere she can.


I love this picture of her, she just looks so cute! She is so funny about putting her hands in her pockets she has gotten very stubborn about it at stores and it makes me smile. You will see in the next picture Madalynn wearing another crocheted hat, we had told James' mom how much she likes hats and so she crocheted a hat using remnants of yarn she had thinking it would be a toy Madalynn would play with. But after Madalynn wore the hat constantly, even to stores, James' mom was very embarrassed that it was mismatching. So that is when she crocheted the other matching hats, and of course if Madalynn gets a hat the other 2 want one also. G-ma was very good about crocheting 3 different hats and they love them.


The 3 of them had so much fun playing outside at both Grandparents houses!

I love this picture of Olivia, she is looking so grown up to me! She makes me smile and I am so blessed to have her sweetness in my life!
Towards the end of the trip all 3 kids got sick so the trip home was not as easy as the trip to Utah but we made it and we are so thankful we were able to go and see family and friends. We loved being there and were sad to say goodbye and look forward to seeing everyone this summer.

Those hats are adorable! I'm glad to hear your trip to Utah was a success... even without the DVD play for 6 hours :o)

They really are cute hats. I agree with Olivia's picture. She does look really grown up. Can you believe our girls will be 10 this year??? No more single digits for them. AAAAHHHHH.

Hey, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. It looks like you had a great spring break.

They're very cute. I'm sad we didn't know you were here. I would have loved to have seen you, but you were probably really busy between families.
