Quick Trip

We were originally planning on camping this past weekend, when we found out Alyssa had had her baby. It didn't take long for us to change our minds and decide we would go to Utah for the weekend instead. Early Saturday morning we made our way to Star Valley to pick up Lorell and Kayle and then headed all the way to Salt Lake. We had a great time in Utah. We got to see Alyssa and Kyler and their kids...all three of them. And we got to see Grandpa Neilson, Uncle Bud, Uncle DeRay and Aunt Cleo. They came to Megs house late Saturday afternoon. We had such a wonderful visit with them. They were able to stay for a couple hours and we just visited and had a good time. And as you can tell, we were able to see Meg and Quinn and the twins. We actually stayed the night with them.
We had a really fun time on this quick trip. It was fun to see Ericka interact with her cousins. The twins and Ericka were so much fun to watch. Here are some pictures of them together.

Look at that face Cooper is pulling...he sure makes the greatest faces, they are just so full of emotion! He and Ericka remind me of eachother.
"Let us out!!!" Cayden is crouching a little, but you can see that all three of these kids are pretty close in height.
What cute kids, eh? Look at Caydens face...he is so stinking cute!!! Where is Ericka's shirt? There actually is a little bit of info that goes with that. Ericka seems to have allergies of some sort. We are not sure exactly what to, but think it is either dogs or cats. Her nose was running like a river while we were at Meg and Quinn's house. We are sorry if there were any snot trails left behind. Eric wanted to wait to put her shirt on because of all the snot, is what he said...I don't really know. Thanks again for letting us stay with you...we had tons of fun!

If you can't tell, Ericka is trying to convince Cooper that he really needs more "loves" from her. I don't think he was that thrilled about it, but I guess that was too bad. Ericka kept loving on both Cayden and Cooper while we were there. We are just glad it was mostly loves rather than her being mean and hitting them. She had a bit of a hard time sharing, but I keep getting told that it's an age thing. We are working on it. Sorry boys! I love this picture! What cute kids we have Meg!!! Love you guys! Thanks again for being so hospitable and letting us stay with you. Ericka already misses her cousins. You need to come visit us soon!

Good thing someone in this family has cute kids!! :) Loved all the pictures, it's about time you posted something! Those boys are tall, either that or Ericka is short, probably the latter considering her mother!
