We enjoyed two weeks in Utah visiting Shannon's mom and my sister and her husband - who had a baby four days after Nora was born. It was great to see everyone! It was especially fun seeing little baby Julius.

One afternoon we went bowling with Shannon's mom. It was Daniel's first time and he seemed to really enjoy himself.

Waiting as it rolls down the lane...

Hooray! It knocked something over!

Enjoying ice cream at the creamery.
We went to the Bean Museum on BYU campus a few times while we were there because Daniel loved it so much.


Acting like the bear.
Daniel loves to listen to stories and to tell stories. This is the latest story he told about a bear.
"Once upon time I was at my house. I heard a noise....went clomp, clomp, clomp and it was .... A BIG BROWN BEAR! I went and put on my super hero costume and said - Super hero to the rescue! And the bear ran away."

With the lions.

Kathryn and the motherland... :) her husband Ken was born in Uganda.

It was so nice to see Nana Susan. Daniel loved spending time with her and loves her big dog!

Playing with grandma.
The first weekend we were in Utah was BYU's homecoming. Daniel was so excited to go to the parade. A lot of the people in the parade were throwing candy and Daniel would just sit on the curb and wait for the candy to land at his feet.

Go Cougars! Jenny - aren't you proud?

A sad baby Julius. What a cute sad face!
Ken used to play soccer for BYU. They had a BYU alumni soccer game while we were there so we were able to go see him play. It was really fun to watch him.

All bundled up and watching Ken's game.

In between soccer games we went over to check out the little sports museum in the Student Athlete building at
BYU. We took this picture for my sister Jenny. I grew up watching
BYU football but somehow missed learning about the finer points of the game. She has been
desperately trying to catch me up.

I loved Daniel's bear story! Even though there was all the BYU gear, looks like some fun times and your kids are super cute! That museum looks like lots of fun.
GO UTES!!
Looks like you had a great time with your family. I can't wait to see what else you did besides hanging out at the BYU Campus.
Go Cougars!
I loved the BYU babies. If Rob could he would choose to have an entire BYU wardrobe.
what a fun little trip!
