Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So, better late than never, as I always say, but here is a little travelog of our trip to Utah for Thanksgiving! We had SOOO much fun! The ride was SO nice in our new car, and we (I) was able to spread out a little bit more in the car and it was a little bit more comfortable! PLUS, it got us there faster than the Subaru! Who doesn't love THAT! Anyways, we started the week down at my parents house in Bountiful where my sister was visiting from Las Vegas as well, and that is always a party having all 5 grandkids playing together, and DESTROYING my mother's house! I'm sure she is VERY relieved when we finally clean up and get out of there! But we have a great time in the meantime! We were able to go to the Tree House Museum up in Ogden, and the kids had the most wonderful time! They went hog wild, and didn't want to leave when we were trying to get them to go and have some lunch at 1:30!! Sheesh! We finally had to leave because MY big guts were eating my little guts!


Lincoln and Mylie Jane riding in the FireTruck! They kept those costumes on for quite some time! We finally had to take them back to where they belonged!

While Mylie and Payton and Ruby were at a little story time, Lincoln and Drew explored the LEGO room and had a BLAST with the dinosaurs! Dinosaurs are a huge hit right now with the Smith boys, so they were in HEAVEN! Again, it took lots of convincing to get them to try out another part of the museum!

Payton trying on the DUNCE cap...fits quite nicely! :)

Ruby and Payton checkin things out

This is what the little man was doing MOST of the time, and had all of the museum workers quite concerned! This kid will climb on ANYTHING!!!





We had so much fun in Bountiful, and then it was time for some MORE fun up in Richmond! Probably the highlight of the trip for the boys was for their Grandpa Smith to take them to feed the COWS! What little boy doesn't love THAT! I actually really wanted to go, but figured that all the bumping around might do things to the belly that probably shouldn't happen. :) But both Lincoln and Payton helped Cole feed the cows while Grandpa drove, and they were in HEAVEN! Oh, they are still talking about it for heavens sake!





Of course I don't have any pictures of Thanksgiving, because that would be the RIGHT thing to do was to take pictures of the reason we were in Utah right? Well, I dropped the ball on that one! But we had a fabulous time at Cole's Aunt and Uncle's house in Bountiful (Wayne and Marci Johnson) with lots and lots of Cole's family there! I love Thanksgiving time, because it is just a fun time to all be together and not have to worry about anything but dinner and pie! :)

Of course, by the time the night hit, the boys were BUSHED! This was Paytons first time sleeping in a BIG BOY BED really, because he HATES sleeping in a pack and play, and usually this is where he would end up! He is supposed to be in his bed that is next to the wall, but would usually end up at Lincolns feet snuggling with him to try and keep warm!

I love these boys! Thanks everyone! We had a VERY happy Thanksgiving, and can't wait for next year already!
