4,755

4,755. The number of miles we have traveled in the last 2 months. Yes, TWO months. It's no wonder Jordyn asks how far we are going 'this time' everytime we get in the car. My kids are weary of so much driving. 2 trips to colorado, a few times to salt lake area and back, and then last weekend we had the chance to drive to St. George. Although it was for Matt's grandpa's funeral, we tried to make the best of it. The weather was to die for! I could certainly move there, it was heavenly.

We stayed with my cousin Emili, and her family. Her kids are the same ages as Jordyn and Tyler, so they had alot of fun playing together. So much so, they were up at 6 am playing games.
Here they are waiting for breakfast. Tyler, Noah, Jordyn and Sarah. Tyler looks like a zombie, I think he was too focused on Phineas and Ferb :)

The kids always love seeing their cousins. And I'm pretty sure all they did was drive people crazy by running around everywhere, at everything we went to. But they had fun! :)

And I found this random self portrait Jordyn took. Jordyn and the tree. Cute!

We also were able to stop and see the St. George Temple. It was a night, obviously, and it was so pretty with all the lights, and it was practically empty, so we had a fun time walking around and enjoying the scenery.


We had a good time, given the circumstances. But, here's to not having to drive long distances for a very long time!

Whoa, you're quite the travelers! Hopefully after all that driving Jordyn will pee at the gas stations now??

Hahah Jenn, I can't believe you remember that! Yes, ironically now she is obsessed with going at gas stations... whatever! :)
