back from utah
>> Saturday, August 23, 2008
ugh...kind of sucks to get back to normal life after a vacation. don't get me wrong...we are excited to get back to a normal routine, our friends, and the rest of our michigan summer (so beautiful here). i'm talking about responsibility. housework. other work. you know...the stuff that's manageable while you are at home, but kind of hits you smack in the face when you get home from a vacation. enough about responsibility...let's talk utah...
as you may have read in my last post, we were without travis for most of the trip. although that part sucked (do i use that word too much on a family blog?), it did allow for some much needed time with just my boys and me. we played games, read stories in the hammock, went to lagoon, cherry hill, swimming, and miniature golfing. i love my monkeys!
on to family and friends...i love you all and miss you already! this trip was the most relaxing utah trip we have had in a while and it was wonderful to see everyone. my boys were in pure heaven spending so much time with both of their grandmas. it's pretty crazy how much they adore them. speaking of grandmas...i'll let you in on a little conversation from a car ride with kaleb, barrett, and grandma debbie (relayed to us later)...
kaleb: grandma, i can't wait to move back to utah
grandma: i know, i can't wait for you to move back
kaleb: i will probably have to wait until i am an adult to move back
grandma: yeah
kaleb: i don't know if i will have a wife and kids when i move back
grandma: hmmmm
kaleb: i will probably just wait until i get to utah to get a wife and kids so i don't have to buy them a plane ticket
kaleb overhead talking to barrett afterwards: no, barrett, you can't just find kids, you have to get a wife first and then find kids
when i got back, i very sadly realized that i took hardly any pictures of my kiddies while i was in utah. but, here are a few i did get of my boys doing what they do best...being crazy little boys!!!

Fun pictures. Kids always seem to be drawn to water don't they? I'm going to put a video on my blog of Ethan going outside in a total downpour! Isn't having family around nice? Eric's mom just went back home... we sure appreciated her help. Although it is nice to get home, I'm glad you had such a nice vacation!
Okay I love the pic of Isaac in his soggy diaper covering his eyes, that is classic!! Your boys are cute...thanks for visiting with me and my monsters, it was good to see you again, we need to do it more.
That conversation Kaleb had with grandma is priceless. It is good that he has a plan and it involves saving money. He's a thinker!
I'm glad you guys had fun. We sure missed you down here! I love the wife and kids conversation...those darn plane tickets are a deal breaker every time! We so need to coordinate things and try to get together! It is killing me that it has been over a year!
I love the things kids say!! If you don't want to get back to real life of cleaning, etc... you could take a trip to Japan?? Miss you guys!!
that is the funniest converstation ever !!! Welcome home from Utah!
I love that story...if we really did "find" kids I would like to go put mine back where I found them. Glad you are once again reunited with Trav...a power couple once again. The world once again makes sense.
What a crazy summer! Looks like it was a lot of fun and filled with adventure. Glad to see that Kaleb has it all mapped out... he's sure got it all together. And so nice of him to fill in his youthful younger brother. How funny! Good luck with school starting. I could really use some of your kickboxing class right now... sure wish Michigan weren't so far from Idaho!!! Miss you guys!
cute and fun. time with family always goes way too quick...
That story is hilarious. Glad you had a fun trip. we are sad we didn't get to see you while you were here!! We miss you guys!
Love the pics, but seriously, love the Kaleb's conversation with Grandma even better. That was so hilarious!! I love the thought process that kids have. So fun!!
