Utah or Bust

One of the best parts of being a military family is the traveling we get to do. Jake had a work conference and test for certification in EMGs (and passed with flying colors,) so the rest of us tagged along and made a trip of it. We visited my grandparents, Aunt Lisa and Muncle, all whom live in Tooele, Utah.


I'm now going to join the crowd and write my captions UNDER the pictures and see how I feel about it. :) So, here you go. Let the road trip begin... ice cream in any form = our road trip tradition.


We spent most of the trip playing and relaxing.




There was just enough snow to get in a snowball fight with.


They were hilarious to watch as Grace splashed water everywhere. Grace's expression cracks me up!

Center of attention


Everyone loves to see her do her crunches.

Happy St. Patty's Day

We were driving home from Utah to Colorado on St. Patty's day, but we took a detour to visit Arches National Park for a bit to stretch our legs and enjoy the outdoors.





Don't the kids look happy to be there? :) (That is "Landscape Arch" behind us.)

A Whole New World

Oh by the way, Grace has a new prospective on the world...from a sitting viewpoint.

First Bite

Here is Grace taking her very first bite of food...rice cereal from a sterling silver cup.


Think she is still hungy? :)



I do. :) (Anyone remember when I used to be able to put my fist in my mouth?)


Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Gray stopped in for a quick visit to meet Grace and play with Conner.
