Lots of pictures from the quick trip to Utah

There are so many pictures, and believe me, I already narrowed it down. So enjoy


















The Reason for a quick trip to Utah and Nevada (back in March)

Could we have a better reason than this adorable baby?!?! That's right, my nephew Brek was sealed to his parents (my sister and brother in law). Brek belongs to them for all eternity now, nothing more precious and comforting than knowing that what we have on earth will also be ours in heaven. Families are forever.

This is how you do dessert when you stay at Grandma Belt's house

We stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Belt for about 3 days at their home in Cold Creek. They have a wood burning stove that is perfect for snuggling up next to and reading a good book or talking late into the night with wonderful company. But, it also serves the purpose of providing the way to roast marshmallows! This was actually the first time we have ever done this while staying on the mountain with Grandma Belt, so the girls were very excited.




YUM!!!!

Cousins

Of course we also visited with cousins while we were in Las Vegas. Our time with them was much too short, try like an hour with each family. My girls were pretty tired by the end of the day.
Baby C. Isn't he adorable?

Cousins S and T. (Baby C's big sisters).

Playing with cousin L in the cubby under the stairs.
Our first time meeting Baby R. What a handsome boy! Aurora and R were instant friends. They had a great time hanging out at the high chair together. And Baby R even liked me (I was feeding him). Baby R and Aurora are only 2 weeks apart in age.

10 kids

While in Las Vegas we had the chance to visit our awesome friends, the Patty's and the Bledsoe's. Between the three families we have 10 kids! The Patty's have 3 boys (their baby boy is missing in the picture), and the Bledsoe's have 4 girls. Dustin and I are trying to catch up with them! But aren't are kids so cute? (And goofy)? They all have the best time together, and so do all of the parents!
From Left to Right: Amy, O, P, A, Adelynne, Aurora, E, E, and B in the back. Sorry to not use names, but I want to respect my friend's security. The oldest is 9 and the youngest is Aurora (6 months in this picture). Oh, and the Patty's are expecting number 4, so we'll see if they add to the girls or the boys.

Aurora at 6 months

We were in Cold Creek, Nevada when Aurora turned 6 months old on March 2nd. The big event of the day was that she cut her very first tooth! And the next day, she cut her 2nd tooth. She has two adorable little teeth now that may or may not be something that I like. She was pretty fussy the day before, and I wasn't sure why until I felt that tooth. Adelynne did the painting for Aurora.
