Utah, with it's mountains and valleys...

The moment we told Jack we would be going to Utah for a visit, he started packing and praying that our moving truck wouldn't tip over.  Although we repeatedly reminded him we weren't moving to Utah yet, just visiting, he couldn't seem to accept that and continued to talk about.  Well almost two months later, the day finally came to go to Utah.  It was the typical long day of flights, layovers and driving, but we made it.  We found tickets in mid January which were a fraction of what we normally paid, which meant everyone was back in school and working.  But between both families, we always had someone to hang out with.  Jack and Char loved every minute of it.

Apparently Craigory thought he was coming too.

Trying to keep the kids busy on the plane.

Our kids resist sleeping when we travel.  Finally after 14 hours of travel, Charlotte fell asleep when we were only an hour away.  

Thankfully technology helps us out.

The real reason we came to Gunnison.

This boy loved the snow.

We were in Utah during Logan's birthday.  He got the special treatment of a delicious meal made by Alice and the special plates to eat it on. 

I did a combined cake for the three of them since Jack was Decemeber, Logan January and Char February.
