Jack and I went to Utah at the end of May and
first part of June. Jack fit in my suitcase,
but he got lucky and rode in his car seat instead.
We stayed a few days with my brother, Gilbert, and his family.
This is little Gilbert with a spool of thread.
Because I was taking so many pictures,
he decided to take some too.
Jack played with Annabelle's toys.
Annabelle, Gilbert, and Stacey.
Annabelle and Gilbert.
Tricia's mom was also visiting and helped take care of Jack.
Annabelle and Jack are just 5 days apart.
Here they are playing with little crocheted
butterflies given to them by Tricia's mom.
We also stayed for a few days with my sister, Bonnie,
and her family. This is Jack and his cousin, Sarah.
"What's he gonna do to me, Mom?"
Nervous for good reason...
Daniel can be kinda crazy.
Jack and Ella.
Jack decided he wants to be a doctor when he grows up.
Following in Daddy's footsteps.
Sandi and Ella.
Bonnie and Jack.
Doesn't he just look so comfy?
Abbie and me.
We played and tickled a lot.
It took lots of energy to have so much fun.
It got pretty crazy.
And squishy.
Jack and Daniel wore matching t-shirts. Orange with dinosaurs.
Jack really liked Daniel and laughed at him quite a bit.
Jack, Daniel, and Ella.
Sarah.
Sandi and gummy worm.
Jack and I also visited my brother, Dan, and his family.
This is Kisha showing off her new glasses.
Dan and Tristan.
That's Kathy's hand.
Dan bought a trampoline and set it up in their backyard.
We had a somersault contest. Dan won.
Ella got a new pretty dress.
Everyone loved to make faces at the camera.
This is Daniel. Here are a few more:
Ella.
Ella again.
Daniel again.
Sarah.
Abbie helped take care of Jack. She fed him and played with him.
Jack got a new Superman outfit.
It's too big for him...the pants fell off.
We drove in the car a LOT. This picture was taken
on the way to the Okra Mountain Temple openhouse.
Jack played with this Doritos bag the whole way there.
Stacey, Kathy, and me in the tent outside
the temple. Yeah, they had really nice
couches and a mini grand piano in the tent.
Nicest tent I've ever been in...
It was Jack's first experience in the temple.
He slept through most of it, but woke
up when we got to the sealing room.
Another pic of Jack and Annabelle playing together.
We also stayed a few days with Brent and Kathy.
Brent is now certain that Jack is cuter than the Gerber baby.
"He makes the Gerber baby look like a weirdo."
Having been gone for eleven days,
we were happy to get back home.
Michael was pretty excited to see us, too.
Michael and Jack.
Jack learned a new noise to make while we were in Utah.
Daniel sang to Jack. Jack was laughing and loving it.
Sometimes Daniel got a little too exuberant.
We played "Shark".
As soon as the kids met Jack, he was surrounded.
The whole time we were there, the kids were
determining who Jack liked and who he didn't.
We made a video for Michael since he couldn't be there.
Little Gilbert did a great imitation of a monkey.
This video doesn't do it justice, but it's the best I could get.
This is a video of Stacey playing with Annabelle and Jack.
