UTAH!!! part 2

Here's a bunch more of all those adorable babies! (Is it bad that I still call them all babies when the oldest one is six?  I don't know.  But I'm going to keep doing it!)

 All bundled up in the quilts that Aunt J made for them.  So cute!

Shortly after this picture V grabbed the blanket that R was wrapped in and pulled it.  R slid across the bed and never even woke up.

 

 

 

Visiting Utah was great because I could finally wear some of my sweaters!

 

 

All the babies eating spaghetti for dinner (well, I guess the twins weren't eating spaghetti).

My dad with R.

 

Two of my besties from BYU - K and E.

V wanted C to wear a hat.

 

A self portrait with R.

 

 

V and my dad were pretending to be asleep.  I'm not so sure my dad was just pretending...

 

 

 Booya!  Look at those "make the baby fall asleep" skillz.

 

Then I got R to fall asleep, too!

  

 

Both babies!

My sister left to pick up one of the kids from school.  I was alone with three kids and the twins.  The kids were playing upstairs.  I was trying to get the babies to sleep but they would cry if I put them down.  L (who is in kindergarten) comes down and says, "I have to tell you something... ...Something is wrong upstairs."  Oh goodness.  I went up the stairs holding both babies thinking, "please don't let there be blood."  It turns out it was just a broken toy.  Whew.

 

Check out how long my hair is!

 

 I had a fantastic time in Utah!  I love my family!  Hopefully the next trip will be longer and not so busy.

It was strange to be apart from T.    This wasn't the first time we have been apart since we got married.  Just a month after we got married, T was working crazy hours on a film and we were apart for a few nights.  Last month T flew back east for a few days.  This last time we were apart for three nights.  I was talking to T's sister in law and she hasn't spent a night apart from T's brother since they were married three years ago.  T thinks his uncle R has probably gone decades without spending a night away from his wife.  Hmmmm.
