Utah

We visited Utah over the 24th of July week. The kids and I went up that Tuesday by ourselves because Chris had to work, and later had training in California for work. Chris later joined us that Friday. Anyways, the kids did so well for me on the car ride up. We only had to stop ONCE! I couldn't believe it! Even with Chris, we have to stop at least twice. But Porter took 2 1 1/2 hour naps, the other kids did great, it was so nice. We had a great time while there. We played lots with cousins, saw the Oquirrah Mountain Temple Open House (which would have been less than 10 minutes from our old house), ran through sprinklers, went to the splash park, did fireworks, and the list goes on. Here are a ton of pictures from our trip. We had a great time.

Looks like FUN! I'm glad you got to spend time with family. The kids are all getting so big. Porter has the CUTEST smiles, and Anna, you look hot in that picture with the temple. :) You look like Super Mom with those three kids by yourself!
