Utah and the Blairs

 So a few days after we arrived in Montana we decided to go to Utah and catch up with friends and family we hadn't been able to see in a long time.  Here we are with Christian's Grandpa and Kaye.  They are so welcoming and warm.  We just love them!

 We also got to visit Aunt Tenille and Uncle Jake and their two puppies!  Our boys loved just loved Simon and Murphy!

 Our dear friends the Lees were in Logan and we were able to meet up with them for lunch (gourmet bagel sandwiches--these guys know how to do food right!) and playing at the park and it was just so much fun!  We will miss getting to see them so much!

 Our good friends from Texas, the Garlicks also drove up an hour to come and bring pizza to the park.  It was so fun to catch up with them and see their baby (on the very left) who was a brand new born the last time we saw them, all grown up.  It was so good to see them!

 We stopped over at Christian's Aunt Cindy's and got to meet her new kitten. 

 Austin was in love!  I can't believe we missed a picture with Cindy!  We just love her!

 Uncle Jake pulled out all the stops when we came to see him and gave my boys popsicles.  He won them over right away!

 It was just so endearing to see my Grandma read and play with my boys.  It just warms my heart looking at this picture!  My Grandpa died only a year ago and she is such a trooper.  The picture behind her was painted by her mother many years ago.

 Aunt Tenille and Uncle Jake!

Thank you Grandma for letting us stay at your house!

 On our way out of town I texted Misty since we were driving through her home-town.  I couldn't believe she happened to be there for the week!  Here we are together with her new and adorable baby.  You just can't beat having good friends.  She saved me from depression after having Tyson and I will always be grateful to her for that!

 As soon as we got back to Montana, our friends the Blairs came to visit!  It was so much fun!

 We played at the park, had picnics, hikes, and played games as soon as the kids were in bed.  We just love them!

 Christian hiked up this huge mountainside with Tyson and Austin.  Montana has such breathtaking views!

 We made it!

 Nichole is such a dear friend.  I am so glad we still get to see each other!

 Palisade Falls!

 The girls had fun with the dress-ups in the basement!  They were such crack-ups!
 In general, the kids actually played really well together!

 We fed the ducks!

 Nichole again taught me how to have fun and imagine with the kids!  Those Alligators :)

We also played at the splash pad and had free hot-dogs at the park!  We are so grateful for the friendships and family and the love that we feel and have been blessed with from so many people. Thank you!
