Denver/Utah

We just got back from a great visit; we really appreciate Jim and Aki, and Dave and Tara for being so gracious and letting us stay with them. It was great to get to see everyone and have one last family outing before Andrew leaves for training.

We are so grateful that Ryan is a great traveler. Here he is en-route...we try to get out of the car every couple of hours to give him a break, it seems to help the car ride go smoother.

While we were in Denver we were able to meet up with some of the cousins, they all thought that Ryan was so cute. We were able to enjoy some sunshine and have some fun on the lake in Evergreen.

by the end of the day we all switched to canoes, much easier!

We stopped by the old neighborhood in Springville, it's amazing how much it has grown. We were able to stop by and see the Charles', they haven't changed at all.

I also was able to meet up with some friends from High school, I still can't believe that we graduated 11 years ago!! It's amazing how fast time flies by.

Suzanne has a 14 month old, Abby. It was great to get to see her and Sheri, and also Becca and Kjirsten.

We had a great visit with Dave, Tara, Sam, Will, and Ben. It was fun to get to catch up with them, hopefully we can do that more often.

Here are some videos of Ryan:

Here is one when he was really happy in the morning

I love his double chin!! It might not be so cute in 10 years from now, but for now I think it's so adorable.

Here is one that we took on the way back to Denver. It probably was a little mean of us, but we couldn't resist. Sorry that the sound cuts out for a few seconds.
