Elmer and Lees Get Togethers

Get ready for A TON of pictures! These last few weeks Brad and I were able to go up to Utah for an Elmer Reunion. I was so glad that we were able to squeeze in seeing some of my family as well since our time was so limited. Evan did fantastic considering how much time we spent in the car (totaled: 60 hours of driving).

Here is sweet Sadie and Summer (this is proof that Summer let me hold her, and fell asleep since she was so comfortable with me!)

Look at these gorgeous girls

Evan loved that Summer and Sadie shared their toys with him

Poor Evan's sleeping schedule was non existent on our trip. He was a trooper

Fishing at Strawberry was a must, as well as a tradition. Here's Papa J and Charlie

Jack and Matt doing some sort of Kung Fu dancing (i love jack's face)

Cole the mighty warrior

Daddy and Evan around the campfire

Daddy showing Evan how to drive the boat

Evan loved wandering around our hotel room

Love this smile!

Evan laughing at The Lion King for no apparent reason (so much like Noah)

The kids taking a break from the cold weather that came through

This very well might have been my most favorite part of the whole trip! A massive rainstorm came out of nowhere and trapped us out on the water forever (well this is what the kids thought). It was freezing and the kids were a little scared.. namely Cole! So Brock, Cody, and Cole all huddled under my jacket to get warm. Cole later sat on my lap, and i loved every minute of it! Kristin wouldn't let me take Cole home with me for some reason.

It's pouring down rain??! I didn't even notice. As long as i have my sunscreens, i don't care!

Cheese face Cody

Cole, happy before the strom

Brynn and Cody in the car

What a great idea to use your feet to hold your slurpee

Um, brad, you've got something on your face (his love for Hickory Kist renewed)

I love this picture of brad reading to evan

We stopped through St. George on our way. So happy to see Grandpa and Grandma Lees

Evan loved all the buttons on the organ!

Grams and Gramps Lees

They were so sweet and got out stuffed animals for Evan.

After the 20 hour car drive, Evan was so happy that Great Grandma and Grandpa waited up for him

This is just silly, i went to get evan out of his crib one day, and i could barely open the door. He had thrown all his blankets out of his crib in front of the door.
