Quick Trip to Utah

Maya and I were lucky enough to go to Utah this last weekend to meet my new nephew Bennett and be there for his baby blessing. It was the best trip! I had to spend 72 hours away from Miss Amelia and Juan, which was really hard, but we video chatted twice a day.

Airport pictures.
I know she looks terrified in this picture, but she really just was mad that I took my phone away from her. She didn't sleep at all the flight there and was squirmy, but good. Then she slept half the time on the way back and played and was happy the rest of the time! 

I met up with Miriam to go walking early in the morning. We showed up in matching outfits! So we had to get a picture.

Maya and Judson. Judson was sad that Amelia wasn't there, but he still played and had a lot of fun with Maya!

The man of the hour! Bennett. Isn't he the cutest little baby?

Maya and Heather. She just loved Heather this trip. She was a little nervous with so many people around, but she always happily went to Heather. And Tyler too!

Crawl-running away from Sami.

Bennett and me. I just loved his soft and fuzzy baby hair.

Maya and grandma.


I love this picture of Bennett! Bright eyes and he just looks like a little man.

Our attempt at a photo shoot. 

Maya got aggressive sometime and would forget Bennett was there when she was going for a toy.

But he didn't seem to mind. He really loved having her around. Look at his smile!

Barrett tried to scare Maya with his mask. But this girl, she's not afraid of anything.

Barrett took over the camera for a bit and got this pretty good self portrait of he and Ginger.

He took these cute ones too!

Maya was a little weary of my brother Kent and my dad. She let Kent hold her, but made it very clear that she did not like it by giving him the stink eye.

Sadie and Maya.

Just chillin with the cousins: Griff, Caleb, Sami, Maya, Judson.

Grandma and Maya again. My mom said she wanted to take a picture of this outfit of Maya's so my kids could make fun of me later. I don't mind, I do like bold mixed prints on my babies.

BCFF (best cousin friends forever) saying good bye. 

And one last snuggle with Bennett.



Bennett with his mom and dad, yawning. Can't resist a cute yawn picture!

Juan and Amelia had the best time here! A couple birthday celebrations, Chuck-E Cheese, and lots of playing. I'm glad they had that bonding time together. I am so happy to be home and when the girls saw each other for the first time, priceless. They love each other so much.

Looks like you had such a fun trip! You got to see so much family! I'm glad you didn't post any pictures of Cafe Rio, otherwise I may have died of jealousy.

What a fun little trip! Except for missing half your family. Anytime I go visit family without Aaron, I am always torn between having fun and missing him too much. I'm glad you got to see your cute nephew, though. And Cami, you look great!

Oh what a cute little baby! I am so glad you got to come out! I loved seeing you, we need to see each other at least every few months, promise?! I love Maya's outfit and it looks like she fit right in with all her BIG cousins. Sounds like Amelia had a fun Daddy time, too! Miss you guys!
