Summer in Utah!

This is the Place monument.

Ethan had to go ASAP, we couldn't find a bathroom because the monument was already closed so we taught him to water the trees. He LOVED it!

I am pretty sure John Pack is a realitive of Jeff's... somehow... I guress I should research that a little better.

Waking up too early again to try and get on the plane. We didn't make it :(

A great bonus of not going home when we planned was we got to go to the zoo and many other things we hadn't had time for.

Ethan loves Tigers and this had a "tiny baby one".

The most beautiful turkey I have ever seen.

Returning to Walmart for more supplies. Our bags made it home on the first airplane, we did not. So new underwear, diapers, pull-ups, sunscreen and then over to the DI for some clothes for the boys.

Such a great fun vacation. Thanks Tara and Ryan and mom for the plane tickets, thanks everyone else for all the fun we had. Graduation, wedding, Lagoon, Zoo, Bear Lake trip etc... It was so much fun!

Of course we didn't find the play area until the third day of waiting for endless hours at the airport trying to get home. This is just for those flying standby with two small children.

Even Austin gets to play. I decided I didn't care if he picked up germs, even swine flu was worth letting them get some energy out before flying.

Getting the wiggles out.

Such a sweet boy!

Somehow the only picture I have of the whole Bear Lake trip. Addi needed to go potty and couldn't wait until we finished up the canyon. I think she just realized she could get out whenever she wanted if she claimed potty emergency. Smart girl.

Trying on Addi's shoes.

Happy B-Day Addi and Mama Kathy! It was a great pool party at Addi's and we had pizza and cake, it was such fun!

Beautiful cake, and it was delicious too!

At Lagoon again. It was so much fun.

Austin was such a baby, he only wanted Mommy for pretty much the whole trip. He was unsure about everyone and everywhere we went. He is reaching out to me and begging me to take him back.

Feeding babies. Why does it seem like that is all you do a breastfeeding mom?

Austin jusst loves his brother and is always looking for him.

Sweet babies.

We got to see the Oquirrh Temple openhouse while we were in Utah. It was awsome!

Excited to be there.

Just showing off poor Ethan's Klingon look. He cried so hard when he tipped the highchair over on his head. So sad!

Not really the best angle because it was really sticking out a lot further. This was over a week after the incident.

Catching a ride back to our cars. On our way to Cafe Rio. Yum!

Hey someone left some babies down here where I can get them. Sweet!

I'll just climb over them. Sorry about the sideways picture I am not sure what happened.

King of the mountain!

And stay down!

Cheese!

My sweet "stripping warrior". He would play swords all day long. He loves Backyardigans especially the mighty knights special episode.

I love weddings! Congrats Chris and Stephanie! We were so glad we were able to come to the wedding!

They are such a cute couple and so happy couple!

Austin was laughing so hard at Addi. He loves his cousins.

The original cousins. This picture made me so homesick I almost cried when I posted it. Can't wait to see everyone at Christmas.

Good practice for someday when he is a Daddy.

There wasn't a good picture of all of us so I picked a bad picture of most of us. At least Ethan is in this picture.

Run Ethan. He was a little nervous, check out his white knuckles.

Ethan looks up to his uncles and cousins. He loves them all. Thanks for being such good examples for my boys!

At the luncheon.

Austin stepped on Aiden as soon as this picture was taken. He loves the babies and just wants to wrestle them.

On the steps of the temple.

Always the happy boy.

Wrestleing why they waited for the ceremony to end.

It wasn't me... This is his look when he did something he shouldn't and is wondering if you caught him.

Look at all the boys. They love waking up and playing with Mama in the PJ's.

The kids table at Mama Kathy's. The kids all love their cahirs and everyone knows whose is whose. They are so funny. Mama Kathy needs a new set with the babies growing up.

Such a cute picture. It totally shows her personality.

He didn't really want to be the graduate. But he is so dang cute.

Uncle Jon is such a fun uncle. His niece and nephews just love him so.

I kept trying to find a picture with everyone and wondered where in the world Ethan was. Then I remembered that Mom and Dad Pack watched him so we could all watch the graduation without distractions. Thanks!

Congrats Jon. High school graduation is such a big step and we are so proud of you!

For some reason he thought the point of this ride was to suck on the bar. Sick Austin!

He is such a cutie! His facial expressions are so funny!

Ethan got to ride with Uncle Jon. What a lucky boy!

Up and Down trying not to get wet. This was such a fun ride with the cutest song. You move you fish up and down to try to avoid the shark, whale and dolphing squirting water at you. It was so much fun.

Mama Kathy watched the loaded down strollers while we took all the kids on the fishy ride.

Addi is such a big girl. She potty trained while we were in Utah! Good Girl Addi!

Eating at the faculty lunch with Mama Kathy. The kids just wanted to ride rides, they couldn't figure out why we would stop to eat.

Jon won this toy and the kids all loved it. So glad it didn't fit with us on the plane!

The kids where so excited to see Uncle Jon. They all love him. He is such a sweet guy.

Austin sucking his thumb. I know it is a bad habit, but he is so cute when is sucks his thumb! He loved this big boy ride.

Cheese! Aiden is almost as big as Austin. Ethan is worried Aiden is falling.

Cute matchy-match cousins. They love each other. Maybe someday they will out grow the hitting/pushing/kicking things they like to do when they are together.

Ethan loved it.

This is the best ride ever.

Austin just hangs out. He is such a sweet boy!

Watching all the kids while mom and amanda were at work. Austin was very jealous whenever I held Aiden.

Mom's beautiful roses before they were attacked by 4 little grandchildren with swords.

Our welcome home sign.

Ethan brought puzzles to share with his cousins. What a nice boy. We searched every garage sale every weekend for months to find these. FYI wooden puzzles are very heavy to take on airplanes.

Aunt Daryl with sweet baby Aiden. Look at those cute cankles. (Babies are the only people who have cute cankles.)

Happy family reunion. We were able to attend two Pack family reunions while we were in Utah. It was so fun. We missed Jeff and cousin Ronny, but it was great to get most everyone together.

It was great to see everyone again.

Cleaning up after dinner.

Trying to gather everyone for reunion pictures.

He must have heard an airplane. He is the cutest thing.

It warmed up slightly and the kids were able to go out and play. The young adults even played corn hole. Go Buckeyes!

Ethan on the look out for popsicle theifs. With Austin as a brother he has learned to keep and eye on his treats at all times.

Ethan enjoying his popsicle. He was a little concerned about the popped water balloons all over the grasws. He is a super neat-freak!

Ethan with his big boy hair cut. Just like Daddy.

We took Ethan and Addi to get their birthday pictures taken. They turned out so cute. Addi decorated herself with stickers while we waited for the pictures to print.

We had to leave Daddy at home since he was super busy with school. We missed him so much!
