Vacation/Work

I got to spend a nice vacation in Utah, while Ryan worked. Same place. Hopefully he still felt it was a little vacation. We did a Medical Rotation in Mt Pleasant. I loved spending time with everyone! Unfortunately I forgot to take a lot of pictures, so I didn't get any of Chris, or Grandma Honey, or any of the Allens!! Argg. But first, this picture. Ellie's friend has a Buzz Lightyear backpack with wings. She loved it and decided to make her own. This is her version, with no help from us!

Back to Utah, Mom and Dad made us very welcome. 

We really enjoyed getting to spend so much time together. 

The neighbor girl came over to play with Ellie almost everyday. Yay!! A playmate! They played so well together that I got a much needed break.

 Mom and Dad remodeled the living/dining area and I got to help! I loved having work to do, and any project with my dad is bliss. I love working with him. There isn't a more patient man out there.
Here we are taking a little break from all our hard work.

Ellie and Grandpa got to play with leaves together while Grandma and I went to the store. How do you play with leaves you ask? Well, there is a mommy leaf, a daddy leaf, a kid leaf...

David and Elann came to visit one Saturday. It was great to see them! Chris and Rene came the next day too. I am so glad they all came down so we could play! I also got to see Jen almost every day. It was so so awesome to spend so much time with her.

These 3 are cozy on the couch. Room for one more?

These mysterious marks showed up in our newly mudded wall... hmmm... maybe they have something to do with the mud painted wall in the T.V room?

I have no pictures to document, but we got to spend some time with Ryan's family too. I am pretty sure I have the best In-Laws ever. We loved seeing them and all our friends and cousins. Thank you everyone for making our trip so great!
