Last night in Utah :(

On our last night in Utah, we had Lance's birthday dinner at Brennan and Natalie's new house that they hadn't even slept in yet! It was so nice of them and so much fun.
Baby Benjamin, getting so big!

Almost all the grandkids. We learned on this trip that Mikey doesn't pose for group pictures--yes, he is the one who ruins them :) And he was probably off distracting Amanda when this was taken. Abigail-7 1/2 months, Benjamin-4 months, Caroline-2 1/2 months, and Kate-almost 5. It looks like Ben takes after his cousin Mikey. He's just about as big as Abigail who has 3 1/2 months on him and almost twice the size of Caroline, only 6 weeks younger than him!

Amanda's hitching a ride on Mikey's stroller. Mikey thought this was the funniest thing ever at first. After a minute, though, he wanted his space back.


Natalie made this yummy peach pie just for Lance.


Amanda's too busy enjoying pure whipped cream to smile at the camera


Baby Caroline.

Amanda Jane. What a cutie!!


Mikey and Amanda are such big kids sitting all by themselves on their stools!


( After 5 or 10 minutes of them wiggling around on them and making us nervous, though, we put them on the floor to finish their food)


More Utah!

Mikey has been coming to us and backing into our laps for awhile now. It's adorable and we love it. But when we told Mikey to "go say hi to Abigail," he immediately started backing into her and trying to sit on her lap. Poor little thing! She was a great sport though. She just kept on smiling. So if Mikey ever sits on you, it's his way of showing affection.
Backing up!

Still trying....


Getting closer....



And mission accomplished!!!



See, still smiling.
