Trip to Utah

Recently we took a trip to Utah to attend the funeral of Tay's Grandma Helen. She pasted away a few months ago and it was decided that we would have a memorial type funeral on her birthday. It was so great to see all the family and we also got to see some of our friends as well. Our good friends Tammy and Casey were in town and we got to stay with them and meet their darling little Kylynn. Her and Lucy are only a few weeks apart although it looks like Lucy could eat her for breakfast. Tammy made these adorable hair bows for the girl so they could be twinners. It was so great to spend time with them.

Next we were able to visit Tay's sister Kristin and her family. We spent a great day swimming and visiting. We miss them so much and don't get to see them as often as we would like to. My kids adore their cousins so much!

The remarkable Uncle Theron (who is a chiropractor) adjusting Lucy. If you have never had your newborn adjusted trust me -- DO IT!!! It will help them to sleep better and help alleviate gas bubbles. Dr. Theron Hall is the best in Utah and you should look him up immediately. He is seriously the best.

Lucy and Aunt Kristin- isn't she a bombshell?

We also were able to visit our good friends the Bennett's. Even though we missed out on seeing Ty we had a great time meeting little tanner. We also thought it would be a good time to introduce Tanner to his future wife -Lucy. We could tell that they are already in love.

We went to visit Nana and Papa Smith the next day. The boys were so happy to see them and Papa took Wes out on the four wheeler. It is always great to see them.

After Grandma's graveside service we went back to Matt and Holly's house for some yummy food and great enertainment. KFC was Grandma's favorite and we got to listen to Grandpa Doug sing with his band Nick, Dick and Doug. They are like the Kingston Trio and it is so fun for the kids to get to see their Grandpa sing. This is a picture of all the grandkids on the Proudfit side (minus Lydia who was napping). Notice how happy they all look about taking this picture.

Utah holds for me the best hairstylist ever. I have had nasty hair for three months waiting to go to Utah to get my hair done. Their is noone in AZ that even comes close to Janae Ellington when it comes to hair. She wouldn't let me take a pic of her because we did my hair at 7:00am but despitethe early hour she did the best job ever. She has a salon in her home so the boys were playing while I was getting my new do. Jamers was watching Nemo in the other room and came into the salon and exclaimed "I caught a fish!" I stared at his hand in disbelief and saw a goldfish in his little hand! He had gone into Mason's room stuck his hand in the fish tank and caught one if the goldfish. How does a 2 year old catch a goldfish with his hands!! Luckily the goldfish survived the traumatic ordeal.

Lucy also got her first haircut done by Aunt Janae and loved every minute of it.

The boys at a pit stop during the road trip. We always eat Subway on road trips -- they like it better than anything else. I'm so glad they don't beg us to stop at burger joints. Notice their adorable Titan Alarm shirts. Tay had the same one on as well.

After a wonderful trip we were on our way home and exhausted!!! It was a great roadtrip home and the kids did great. I got to stop at one of the many Native American craft booths that are all over the freeway in the AZ desert. I have always wanted to stop at one and finally got to do it.

I have no idea how Wes feel asleep in that postition.
