Back from Utah, TONS of pictures ahead

Two weeks ago, our little family got in the car and headed off on an adventure! A 20 hour adventure (split into 2 days)! Luckily for us, we love roadtrips. Can't you just see it in Juan's face? 

 And the girls? They were dream babies. Amelia LOVED having me right at her beckon call. I heard this for 20 hours: Toy please, Drink please, Show please, and repeat. It was so fun to watch her play by herself and even entertain Maya and get her laughing now and then. Maya did not like the car on day 2 of our return trip. She whined a lot and even cried for 30 full minutes, we'd never heard her like that. But she pulled through and was a happy girl once we were finally home.

The big occasion was Ginger's baby shower, she is so close now! Only 6ish more weeks! I didn't get any pictures from the shower, but I got tons of the girls with family and friends.

 On night we went on a big quadruple date and did a food crawl. First stop Asian Potato.

 Second stop, a BBQ place. And the third place (no picture) was a burger/custard place. And they all had to be places we'd never been. So fun!

 Juan and I stole away and walked around our beloved BYU campus. We just love it there. I love this family picture we got!

 Ginger was the Baby Whisperer with Maya, often getting her to sleep for her tiny evening nap. She'll be the best mom! I cannot wait.

 Maya loved being passed around to everyone. Here she is with Paul.

 And Crystal.

 Ginger sneaking a picture with Amelia.

 Sami with Maya. Sami was obsessed with Maya, wanting to hold her at every second. She also kept a good eye on Amelia for me too. She is a natural with kids!

 The girls with grandpa. It was the end of a long night for Amelia. I kept letting her stay up late to play with cousins. Well right after this picture she came up to me saying, Sleep please. Ha! Tired girl.

Mom, Me, Maya. My mom was the best this trip. She works late every night until 2 am cleaning the temple. She would wake up early every morning just to get some alone time with the girls before the crowd of family came over. She'd bring out a stack of books and read with Amelia. And just snuggle Maya before her morning nap. I love that my girls will have those special memories with Grandma. 

We are home now. Maya didn't get too spoiled, she is back to playing by herself on the floor and rolling all over the place now. Amelia's vocabulary is a little larger and I feel like she really grew up, playing around those older kids all the time. Utah treated us well.
