Utah

After leaving Alabama, we headed home to Utah for a 2 week "research" break. Colten got permission from the school to wrap up one of his research projects from Utah. The kids and I decided to stay a couple weeks longer but it was nice to have Colten with us for two weeks. He hadn't been home for over a year.

We made it just in time for Grandma Bracken's 60th Birthday Party. Lara and Shemri picked us up in Las Vegas. We stopped briefly in Mesquite and then headed up to St. George and met everyone at Sunset Bowling. We also enjoyed a yummy dinner at the Golden Corral.

Grandpa chatting with Ty.

Dad, Mom and Talya! Talya looks so big in this picture.

Let the cousin reunions begin!!
36 hours after being home, Talya got a little stomach bug and didn't feel good at all. Here she is with Grandma, sound asleep.
Talya and her oldest cousin, Dylan. She was pretty unsure about Dylan at first, but then wouldn't leave him alone.

Building a "Castle" with Grandma!
I got to see some of my old players from Hurricane play in their last home game as seniors. They were all freshman my last year coaching in Hurricane. Fun to see them all!

We spend a day in Salt Lake with Colten's brother and his family. These girl cousins were having a blast playing together. When we had to leave, Talya was SO sad and kept asking, "Where'd the girls go?"


Sleep Over! It only lasted long enough for the movie and then Talya wanted to come in our room. 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Got to spend a couple nights at Aunt Jessica's house!
We went to Cafe Rio for dinner in Orem with the Terry's and Caplin's. Here is Ty (4 mo) and Hunter (2 mo).

Ty @ 4 months

Our little man is 4 months old today. He is SO happy and just smiles all of the time. He has traveled across the country so good and has been adored by all his grandparents and family. Because we are currently in Utah, we didn't get his 4 month old check-up. We have it scheduled when we get back, but he will be 5 months by then. I am guessing he weighs over 16 lbs now. He's our little chunky monkey and we love him so much!
