Back to Utah!

Well we are back from Utah. It was definitely an interesting, and not so relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, Will and I were both sick, along with a couple of my family members. Because Will was sick he didn't sleep very well so we ended up sleeping in my Dad's recliner most nights. :( However, we both were feeling much better for the flight home. I was so nervous that Will would still be sick and the flight would be horrible for him, I know that the flight there was hard for me. Will did ok on the flights this time, although we wish that he would have done better. On the flights there he did great on the first flight, but the second he was grumpy and tired. :( On the flights home we were pretty much screwed. Will was definitely done by the second flight and cried almost the whole time. Luckily the person sitting next to us offered to move to another seat to give us some more room. Will was pretty happy once he had his own seat and ate some grapes. For some reason he was hungry, although he had just eaten quite a bit of mac and cheese before we got on the plane. Silly boy!
Fortunately, Will has done pretty good at getting back on schedule and he definitely is sleeping better in his own bed. I just hope that our trip in a couple weeks to North Dakota is better. Will will have his own room and I think that will help a lot. 
On to good things about the trip! We got to see our family, my brother got married, and we did a pre-birthday celebration for Will. 

 Airplanes are fun!!

Pre-hair cut hair, along with some food all over the face. :)

 Outside the Manti Temple waiting for my brother and his new wife!

 I promise when we left the house I looked better. :)

My guys are so cute!

After this LONG day doing wedding stuff we finally got to relax. Kinda. LOL Poor baby boy had a stuffy nose so sleeping in the recliner was the way to go. Here is Matt and Will taking their morning nap...

 Precious! Seriously I got to do something ALL BY MYSELF! LOL

We also got to go up to Kaysville to see Matt's sister and our niece Maddy. It was really nice to see them. Maddy hadn't seen Will before. 

This was before we headed home to take Maddy to BYU and put Will to bed, in the recliner. LOL

We decided that Monday had to be a stay at home day. Will was so sick of being in the car seat after traveling Friday, going to Manti Saturday, and driving to Kaysville on Sunday that we were sure that he was going to chuck the car seat out of the car. :) So Monday we tried to catch some fish!

 He kept trying to grab the fish as they swam by.

 Amazing! :)

We also got to spend some time with my sisters and some of the kids later in the week. We decided to get Cafe Rio to go and hit the park. 

 I love my Aunt Chelsea!!!!

 Not sure what he was looking at, but it was pretty cool apparently. :)

 Fun down the slide!

Whoa dad!

We also took Will on his first train ride. We took Trax to the new City Creek Mall downtown SLC. It was fun to walk around but I don't think I will ever be able to afford anything in most of the stores. LOL 

Waiting for the train. 

My family was all sad that they wouldn't be able to celebrate Will's first birthday. So we did a pre-birthday party with them. Will had fun playing with his cousins while they watched The Avengers and "opening" his presents. :) He also really loved the moon cake I made for him. 

 I know it's blurry but I really wanted a picture of Will hanging with his cousins.

 My mom did the writing. :)

He was a little confused. :)

On Saturday before we left Matt and I go to go out with my cousin Bridgette. It was nice to get away, just Matt and I. We went to Desert Star Playhouse and saw Wicked-er. It was pretty good. While we were gone my parents and Aubrey took Will and some of his cousins on a small hike in American Fork Canyon. they went to Cascade Springs. Kaiden carried Will on his back. :)

 Mom said that Will rally liked looking at this leaf. :)

It looks like he had lots of fun. I wish we would have been there. :) All in all our trip to Utah was fun. It was a little bittersweet because we were hoping that it would have been the start to a move back out west. But it was really good to see family and some friends. Hopefully we will be able to go back to visit soon. :)
