Utah! - The little people portion

Many of these little people are not quite so little anymore... but they are still my favorite!

We spent most of Father's Day with T's family.

"Who are those scary people and why are they taking my picture?!" The twins had no clue who we were :(

T's brother C is quite adept at baby wrangling.

We had a family soiree at my Aunt J's house.  Some of us played badminton.

Others didn't play badminton so much as they swung the rackets around with wild abandon.

These girls were more into Polly Pockets than badminton.

Nephew L pretending to sleep at Grandma's house.

Please note the toothbrush at the base of the scooter.  This was an important feature for L.

At C's house.  The playground was definitely a worthwhile investment.  Baby H wanted to swing literally the entire time.  I don't blame her.  Swinging is the best!

 Chicken nuggets for lunch, yum!

Even though the twins had no clue who were were the boys did, and we had tons of fun together.

Who doesn't love a good pair of heels?  Baby A definitely does.

At my sister M's house.  The boys were pretending that they had a candy store - hence signing candy and ice cream.

What is it with little people pulling up their shirts?  The kids in our nursery class do it, too.

R loves dirt.  Really.  Under the deck while the other kids dig, R just likes to put his hands in the dirt and sort of knead it.  Here he is with one of many clumps of dirt.

R was totally not phased when C dumped dirt on his head.

See.  Not phased.

R was also not phased when C did this.  Basically, R is just a very even keeled dude. It is adorable.

I love that all of M's kids love to read.

The kids have lunch at the park often after swimming lessons.  I walked (slowly) over with the twins.  Adorbs!

At the park, we raced the twins down the slide. I don't remember who won.

V was showing off his lunch balancing skills.  This photo reminds me of the William Tell story.

At the park I ran into a friend K, from school.  She looks fabulous and has three little people of her own.  It was fun to see her for a few moments.

J showing off his mad skills.

It's hard to get this many kids to stay still for a photo!

Silly photos are easier.

At my brother W's house we played hide and seek, loaded questions, then went outside to jump on the trampoline.

Don't be confused.  W does not have a son.  This is my other brother D's son.  We call him Wolverine.

The girls took some photos with my cell phone...

Showing off their posing skills.

Basically, we love visiting Utah because we get to see and play with all of these fabulous little people!
