Utah County

I always have fun when I head up North.  J had meetings up in Heber so I left the school kids here with Grandma and headed up with Coy and Mason.  It was so fun.  Coy got to play with Anastyn.  They were cute little buddies.  Brandalyn and I spent a few days hanging out and running errands like the "old days."  One of our favorite things used to be running errands together.  The kids watched a movie and Bran & I would chat and run into wherever the errand would take us while the other one waited in the car with the kids.  This made running errands so much more fun!  Last minute, Shannon and Becca met me for dinner.  I love these girls!  We had so much fun!

 Coy was loving all the one-on-one time.  He got to ride the merry-go-round and feed goats at the hotel and was in heaven.  He definitely did not want to come home to Livvy and Cohen although he did admit he missed them!

 Jeremy stayed up North to go to the BYU game with Jeremy Redd.  I came home fast to a sick little Cohen who is a VERY high maintenance little sicky.  Apparently even Grandpa couldn't sing the right song for bedtime!  (Thanks a million times over for watching these two!)  When we came in the house we had a little surprise ... a very large grasshopper.  Coy was brave enough to snatch it up but it jumped out of his hand.  So I did what any normal person would do.  I put a cup on it and waited for Olivia to get home and take it outside.

While we were gone Livvy had Grandpa pull out a wiggly tooth!  I have to admit the first thought in my head was that we have family pictures on Saturday!!!  Good thing she looks adorable with or without teeth!

 By the next Thursday we were up in Utah County again.  This time with all the monkeys.  We had dentist apts on Thursday with only one cavity to report.  Poor Cohen, he was sooo sad to get it.  He is my most dedicated brusher and flosser just because he hates cavities.  He was brave and only cried a few tears when getting a shot for his cavity. He got a prize just because he was brave.  (Kinda broke my heart a little.)  We hung out with cousins and friends.  We had family pics on Sat.  SOOOO crazy and stressful but well worth it...I hope!  We spent the last morning watching a movie in Noelle's awesome theater room before we headed home.  The kids watched Chimpanzee. Livvy told me she cried at the end.  But not sad tears, just happy ones.  (Awww, she has such a soft heart for animals.)

Noelle gave Coy "special goggles" when we were swimming that would help him swim.  Did it?  Well, lets just say he was able to blow bubbles in the water!
