  • Lots of Utah Loving


    I was able to go to Utah with the boys for about 3 weeks while Stan was rotating out of town for the month of January.  We were definitely spoiled and it was very nice to be with our moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas, especially as Logan was pushing through some major transitions (aka he was terribly ornery and not sleeping).  In the 18 days we were there Logan: cut his first two teeth, became a roll over champion and decided to drop his evening cat nap.  It was quite the rough time, so it was very nice to have some extra hands on help with these kids.

    Garrett and Logan loved seeing all of their cousins and family!  It was so fun for everyone for them to have so much attention, especially me!  Unfortunately it seems my camera didn't get out to capture many of the moments.

    Garrett was able to enjoy the snow on many occassions, here he is playing with Poppa.  He also played with Tyson and Jayke too!

    I was able to finally see Mindy's "new" baby Molly and their new house.  Molly was born about 3 weeks before Logan, so it was fun to get them together and see their similarities and their differences.  Obviously, Molly is sitting up and Logan isn't quite yet, but they are going through a lot of the same things.  It was fun to see them a couple of times.

    Garrett found a drawer that had some of my great grandma's clip on earings in it and he thought it was the neatest thing to wear these pretty earings.  He came out of the bathroom and said, "mommy look, I'm a princess."

    I was able to hook up with almost all of my roommates from college, we missed Brenda!  I love these girls.  They are family to me, so it was great fun to spend a night catching up with them.

    We saw our family lots, which is why we love to visit.  We had so much fun with everyone and look forward to next time.

    Here's me crushing Stan....


    He was able to come out from a Thursday evening to a Monday morning b/c Grandpa Kimball passed away at 97 years old.  It was really neat to see him and ALL of the Kimballs.  Grandpa had 14 children so it sure was a gathering.  It was a nice treat to be able to spend some time with Stan and also get to know a few of his cousins a little bit better.


    What a great time we had!  We are blessed to have such great family and friends.  We are working on some develops out here and perhaps we may be frequenting Utah on a little bit more permanent basis for this next year before residency starts.  A lot of things have to fall into place still, but we'll see!  Much thanks to everyone who let us barge in!
