Hurricane Trip: Sunday and Monday and everything in between

CHURCH

It was at 1 o:clock and by the time sacrament was done, so was Kael.

Eden dancing outside.

Uncle Jake and I texted while in church. We weren't really paying attention. I kind of feel bad now. hmmm Not really. It was fun hanging out with Jake.

Everyone else was jealous of us. They eventually texted us what we were doing and wanted in...

Grandpa opening the present the Bradley's brought. We love their backyard and wanted to add to it. A clock/thermometer.

All the grandkids opening their presents. Grandma made EVERYONE a beanbag that you warm in the microwave! Keeps our toes warm at night. She embroidered each of the kids names on their bag. They are so cute and the kids use it EVERY night.

COUSINS!!! AND Grandpa got all the kids head lights.

The best part of being with family is definitely "THE COUSINS"!

Aunt Janice and Uncle Jon got Grandma and Grandpa a ruler to measure all the Grandkids for Christmas. Kael was the first to get measured and therefore got his picture taken. Elara was the shortest so we had to get her too. :)

Cousin/Grandpa baseball time. This is a favorite for Kael.

COUSINS! They played on the wii pretty much at any moment we would let them. And with unlimited games, why not?!

Eden and Kaylee. These two played so well together! It made me wish for about a week that we lived in Phoenix next to where most of the cousins live. Texas will be good. It will be a longer drive to Phoenix from San Antonio than it is from Salt Lake, but I think we will just have to make that trip!

Saying goodbye is always sooo hard. I'm pretty for certain I cry every time. I usually run out the door saying I love you Mom, I'm just gonna run out so you can't see me balling. Saying goodbye is even harder when you know you are moving far away soon. I keep telling myself to be grateful we won't be living in Florida or somewhere we really couldn't ever visit! AND we are going to try really hard to stop in Phoenix on our way to San Antonio. So, that helped a lot.

We love visiting our family and sure had a great time. Grandma and Grandpa and lots of cousin time is always a blast! We are so grateful for our family. We always feel so loved when we get to be with them.

Hurricane Trip: Saturday Part 2: The Part Where We Ice Fish on Panguitch Lake

After going sledding we walked down the lake and met up with my Uncle Glen, my cousin Matt, and his Father in law and son Zane. Now, when my Uncle Glen goes fishing, HE GOES FISHING. We were on a hot spot. Derek was one of the first to get a line in the lake and he was the first to catch 3! Then, Kael caught one right away and I help him reel it in. Kael caught another one and Eden caught one two. I'm pretty for certain everyone who dropped a line down caught a fish that day. We kept just as many as we could and tossed many more back! This is the way to go fishing! The kids were hilarious with their fish. After Eden caught hers she was comforting it while it was dying... She kept saying, "It's ok fishy... " And then she would stroke it. Best way to die if you ask me. She even kissed it once I believe...
