Shannon drove us all up to Utah for Spring break. It was AWESOME! We had SO much fun. The kids got in some great cousin/Grandparents/friend time in. Shannon was also able to score a great deal (decided to swing by Target) on a duel screen car dvd player right before we hopped on the freeway. So the girls in the back got a screen, and the boys got their own to look at. We had the kiddos take turns picking movies so there was no fighting over entertainment. It was such a quiet drive (for having 6 kiddos in a car for 8 hours).

Happy children in the van.

Grandma made yummy breakfasts (meals) for us.

Regan and Cassie fought over this toy phone. Luckily Grandma found another one. Regan kept “calling” his Papa, and having conversations. It was cute.

We went to story time at the library, and the children made these fun hats.

Then we went (Mom H. let me borrow a car) to St. George to visit all our Kreyling family. We started with a visit to my Grandma Kreyling. Regan and Kaylee had fun playing with her train.

They of course HAD to play Grandma Joanie’s piano.

As we were saying goodbye to Grandma, Kaylee said, “I will miss you lots, but don’t worry, I will see you soon.” It was so sweet.

We were able to visit Jamie, Linda, and the girls. It was short, but sweet.

After getting the back to my parents house and in jammies Regan decided to take a dive into the coffee table. The amount of blood was spectacular. My Dad knows me too too well and was right there with his camera before I could even ask. My Mom thought we were crazy, but I like to document the good, the bad, and the ugly. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast a split lip heals.

The next day we drove up to Cedar City to visit with the Owens’. It was SO nice to watch the children play and visit. Kaylee misses her friends so much. She was SUPER excited to see her Carter.

Carter did NOT want me to take his picture. haha. Guess my camera has been away from him for too long.

Grandma had a fun bubble set for each of the kiddos. They spent a fun filled afternoon blowing bubbles at each-other.

The Grandpaaaa with 6 of his 8 visiting grandchildren.

These 2 decided to sit a a calmer quieter dinner table.

Our last night of fun before heading back to Arizona. Grandma and Grandpa took us swimming! Regan didn’t stay a wallflower for too too long, but by the time he decided it was o.k. to play and have fun I had put my shiny new camera away (FAR away from water). I might need to pick up a water proof disposable camera for kicks sometime this summer….

Kaylee on the other hand had a blast!

She went down the kiddie slides too many time to count. I am excited to get her into swim lessons. She’s finally at that age of being able to have fun at the pool with out a parent hovering, so lessons are a must.

I loved that Kaylee wanted to hold hands with these two. She wants a sister BAD.

Shannon mid scolding me for, “…taking a picture of me now!?”
Why yes. Yes I am. And I will put it on my blog too. hehe. Good thing she loves me huh?

After getting the children down for the night we ladies got busy laying out (The picture above is NOT the layout we ended up using. it was just the first of may layouts.) what will be Mom’s EPIC family photo wall. I took a photo for reference (So we could get frames off the floor and away from little hands.) and we nailed all the frames up the next morning.

I had so much fun with these three. Even when they laugh at my excessive photo taking. 🙂

And we (mostly Shannon) did hair. Lots of do’s and cuts happened on this trip. It was just a great Spring break.
