New Years

My dad left on Monday, Brandon took him to the airport then went to the doctor for a check-up. They ended up keeping him on his meds that make him really nauseous until after the new year but we decided to go to AZ anyways. So, after he got back from the doctor on Monday, we loaded up the van and drove down to Phoenix, staying overnight in Kanab on the way.

The drive was really beautiful, and we got to see snow on the red rocks, which we had never seen before.
Our good little traveler.

We had a really great time, all the kids were together for the first time, and they had a blast. Henry didn't know what to do with himself with all the kids around. It was really cute after he learned their names cause then he would chase them shouting "Jackson! Jake! Kyra! Where are you going?" He also got to play with Cade's police car which he practically lives in every time we visit. I got a nice break too, everyone took turns holding Haylie, so I was able to relax a bit. Brandon was still sick, but it was better being sick there and having the kids occupied than being sick in Utah and having to entertain them.

All of the male grandchildren so far... by the way, mine is the only one crying.


On our drive home we stayed overnight in Vegas. We stayed in the coolest hotel for only $40! We've decided that we're going to go back sometime when we can actually stop and stay a few days and I am so going to a lobster and steak buffet.
