Visiting Family

Over the weekend we went to Southern Utah to visit some of Nick's family. We love it when we get to go visit all of them since we don't see them very often, and the kids love spending the night at Grandma Jane's and playing with cousins. Nick and I had thought we were being smart when we brought our portable DVD player to keep the kids entertained for the drive there, however we forgot to charge it....yes we are geniuses. So instead Jax asked us every two minutes if we were there yet. We stopped in Salina first to visit family that lives there, it was so good to be able to see Nick's Grandma Gwen, we haven't seen her since Christmas (yes I know we are horrible) and it was fun to be able to visit with her for a while. Then we went to Central to stay overnight at Grandma Jane's and visit all of the family that lives there. As usual Grandma Jane had made a ton of food and goodies. The kids got to ride Uncle Beav's 4-wheeler, he took them out to the garden to pick fresh peas and took them on a ride in the wheel barrow. When he asked Jax if he wanted a ride in it Jaxson's response was "Uh...it doesn't look very clean to me." There was dirt in the bottom and Jax was obviously concerned about it. Which was funny considering the fact that as Jax said that he was digging in the dirt looking for worms! Once he got over the fact that he would be sitting on dirt, he didn't want the ride to end. On sunday the kids got to play with cousins and ride the 4-wheeler some more. None of us wanted to come home, we were having too much fun!

Jax is pouting because he has to let his sister

have a turn on the 4-wheeler.
