Utah Trip ~ Part Two

Once Brian flew into town, we headed to Spanish Fork to visit his family. During the time we spent there, it was so cold! One day it was 1 degree!!! The air in the valley was really bad too, so we spent most of our time indoors just hanging out with everyone, and we loved it!

Ava loves to sit in the chair with her Papa and have him tell her stories. Dillon loved to play with Grandma Susan, especially the game Connect Four!

We loved looking at all the photo albums that Susan recently put together. It is especially interesting to look at the early pictures of Richard and Susan, and Richard's time in Vietnam.

We love to hang out with Jessie - she always introduces us to the funniest shows. This time it was Flight of the Conchords. (Before it was The Office, Arrested Develpoment, Brian Regan-the Comedian)
Brian and Ava asleep in the family room. Dillon found the keyboard and loved it!

Brian found Maddy's guitar and played it the whole time we were there. It was so nice to hear him play again - it has been a long time.

Brian & his Dad spent a long time looking at Richard's aircraft encyclopedias. These two pilots could talk about aircraft forever - they actually kind of are aircraft encyclopedias....
As usual, anywhere we go, Dilly finds a plant (or two, in this case) to hang out behind. A future botanist maybe?

When I was doing laundry, Dillon got his finger slammed in the dryer door. (so sorry Dilly!) He learned the word 'ouch' and he spent about an hour letting everyone kiss his finger better. He also thought it was pretty cool that he had an ouchy finger like his Daddy.

Toby the dog! This is Dillon's total play buddy! We tortured him by putting him in the cutest little clothes, but then Ava rewarded him by giving him lots of doggy treats!

Ava loved to play with Maddy. Ava loves to think that they are twins - the same color hair, the same pretty blue eyes, and the same cute little sprinkle of freckles. (I looove this picture!)
Brian rocked the shiny warm-up pants!!!! (all his clothes were in the wash)
We got to go see Maddy's gymnastics class - she is really good!

While we were at Maddy's gymnastics class, Ava got a hold of my camera. She took a picture of Grandma Susan, one of Papa, and one of her unicorn!
We loved spending time with you Richard, Susan, Jessie & Maddy! And Toby too! Thank you for the good food, the warm house and, most of all, the good company! We love you!
