Trip to Utah

Maddie has a new thing. Peace. Even though we tell her that this isn't the 60's, she keeps doing it. {Evidently it is the new cool thing to do.}

Grant was enjoying giving hugs and getting some back. He decided to try it to just about everyone. This young lady{his second cousin} was extremly kind to his cause.

This is Rachel and her close cousin Kristen. We told to bunch together, say cheese, and said that the picture would be taken as quickley as possible, interupting conversation between two or more women is not smart, at all.

Okay, you might not notice this but if you look carefully, you can see a bird on Moroni's trumpet. { Please not that this picture was taken with much concentration.}

This is our good friend Russel who we happened to meet while driving aroud the grounds of the MTC. We were really excited to see him and took several pictures and were out. Hi Russel!

This is Grant being the selfish person that he is. Oh he'll share his toys{sometimes}, his clothes{not that we really have any use for them}, and well, basically anything but food. That is why he is scowling at antone who comes within 10 ft. of his starbursts.

Well, this trip would of never happened if it weren't for our Uncle Jake. So here's just a little photo of the kids and Jake.{Oh, and if you are questioning the snowshoes, well, let's just say that there was a lot of snow. they may not be fashionable, but they sure were better than having ice blocks for feet.}

We went to Olypic Park and were facinated by the tobogan, so we took a picture, just to make it last longer.

This is a picture of Rachel's cousins{who live in Utah} and our Grandpa Charles{who came to visit our cousins} behind the Salt Lake City temple, and even though we've had some pretty interesting times together, we still arae one big happy family.

This is a beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple. {Or at least we like to think so considering we aren't very good at the whole picture taking thing.}
