Family Visit #1

Last week my mom, sister and nephews came to visit. It was AMAZING to have them here and I hate when they have to leave, the visits are never long enough. I wanted to share these two pictures of Elliott just because he is so stinking cute. He was such a happy baby the whole trip (except in the car, he doesn't like the car) and his smile is the sweetest. 
 
We had a great great week and kept ourselves very busy. They got in on Wednesday (Leo's birthday!!) and we had a mini little party for Leo but he wasn't feeling well and didn't act very interested. When we went to pick them up from the airport Quinn was so excited and they were the happiest cousins ever to see each other. I love how much they love each other. 
On Thursday we went and ate lunch at the Prairie Schooner restaurant. At first Quinn was crying and screaming and did not want to eat there because it was dark but then she came around. After lunch we went to the Treehouse museum and the kids had a great time. 
Elliott is a super funny kid. This picture was taken when Danielle went upstairs and he obviously did not like it. 
On Friday we went to the Air Force Museum and had lunch at Costco. Taking 4 children to Costco during nap and lunchtime is challenging to say the least but we all survived and even got a few churros to help everybody make it home. Then we left for Arches National Park that night (that will be a separate post on its own). 
On Monday the kids had their pictures taken and they seemed to turn out great, I can't wait to see them. Then we went bowling at the base bowling alley and everybody had fun. On Tuesday we took the train to the Ogden Train museum and Nolan loved that. Then on Wednesday we drove down to the Museum of Natural Curiosity. It was very warm outside and we got to enjoy the outside trails that I had not seen before. It was a very packed week but we had a great time. It is not easy to try and get a picture of 4 children looking at the camera at the same time, so keep that in mind!
The kids loved seeing each other and I loved having my family here. I hope you enjoy the pictures and will have more posts about Leo's birthday and our weekend trip to Moab. 
 

 
This was the reward the big kids got for being good during our picture taking. They even sang Happy Birthday before eating their cupcakes. 

Family is so so good, life is good
