We made it to Utah!

I'm just relieved that we made it!!  Thankfully my health is holding out so the pregnancy didn't keep us away.  The weather here in Utah on the day we flew in was a little dicey (friday), but thankfully that didn't keep us away either.  

Saturday was set aside to recover from our long day of traveling on Friday.  We totally took it easy and let Grandma Sandy pamper us!  I've never felt the altitude change quite as bad as I did this time.  Pregnancy seems to make everything a little more pronounced!

Kyle is THRILLED to be with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  The picture below is Kyle interrupting Grandpa Milt's Saturday afternoon nap.  Thankfully Grandpa Milt is just as excited to be with Kyle that he didn't mind his little interruption.
On Sunday it SNOWED!!  Kyle was SO excited.  We haven't seen anything more than flurries where we live in Virginia, so 'real' snow is awesome!  All he could think about on Sunday was getting out to play in the snow.  Today he got his wish!  We went over to his cousin's house and they played their hearts out.

The first picture is of Kyle and Zack making and throwing snowballs.  For those of you who know Kyle, I am pleased to say that he didn't even get upset when somebody threw a snowball at him.  There was no crying, just laughing...so great!
From left to right: Mia, Zack, Kyle, and Brooklyn.
We're lucky that Mia who is MY brother's daughter, and Brooklyn who is SCOTT'S sister's daughter (so they are both Kyle's cousins) are in the same school class and are good friends.  It was a perfect morning for Kyle to play with three of his cousins.

This is just a cute picture of Zack and Kyle warming up after their fun in the snow.  (Obviously not focusing on me, but Imagination Movers!)
We're only technically on day three, and we've already had a great time.  My parents are taking good care of me and letting me rest quite a bit, and Kyle is getting all the love an attention that a little boy could dream of.  Stay posted, I'll be sure to post more pictures of our fun time here in Utah.

We miss Scott, but are SO thankful that he supported us in coming to see family.  Thanks babe!  Enjoy all the Halo and Madden that you possibly can!

Wish our trip & your trip had been at the same time! The photos of Kyle soaking in everyone are great, I am glad you had fun! We look forward to your boys visiting us. Sorry that we will miss you again! Really glad pregnancy is going so well for you! We still have a month of the "yucky" part of pregnancy to go.
