The Friday before Thanksgiving, Ian, Jaiden and I left for Utah. The boys did well in the car. We stopped a couple times. We stopped in Cedar Hills to visit my cousin Anna. We got to meet her baby Joshua (he was a month old). He slept most of the time, but I was able to hold him. Ian and Jaiden played and got some of their energy out. We then headed up to Draper to Rex’s parents’ house.
That Saturday was a Thanksgiving dinner at the Jones’, with all the cousins that are in Utah. We met Danielle’s (Rex’s sister) fiancé Brian and Felicia’s boyfriend. The boys had fun with a lot of people there to play with. They didn’t eat much though.
Sunday morning, we went to Anna and Scott’s baby blessing and then went up to my parents. We stayed at my parents until Wednesday morning. Jaiden loves playing with/being with Grandpa. If he was not in sight, he had to look for Grandpa.
Wednesday morning, I met my sister-in-laws at the Fashion Place Mall to go to the new H&M store. The boys were crazy. We then went down to Draper again. We spent Thanksgiving afternoon/evening with Rex’s uncle and aunt’s house in Salt Lake. I did some Black Friday shopping at Walmart, which was crazy. I wasn’t able to get some of the things I wanted, but Rex went after work on Friday and was able to find the stuff at the Walmart in Steamboat.
Saturday we went up to Farmington to visit Rex’s grandma Jones who was down for Thanksgiving. Rex rode the bus out to Utah Saturday evening. We were very glad to finally have him with us.
Sunday, all Rex’s brothers and sisters were able to come (except Garrett, who is on a mission). We had fun playing games and being together. Ian and Jaiden loved playing with Uncle Hayden. Tuesday morning, Rex’s mom watched the boys so we were able to do a session at the temple and do some shopping. We found a bunk bed and mattresses for the boys.
Wednesday we went back up to my parents. On Friday, we went with my dad out to the Syracuse Family Fun Center. My dad and Rex bowled, while I watched the boys on the trampoline (Jaiden loved jumping) and the inflatable bounce thing (Jaiden wouldn’t go on it, but Ian loved it). Saturday we helped my parents decorate for Christmas and then came home.

I sure miss you guys! It was fun,Becky, to shop with you and play with you and the boys. It is different to visit Grandma's house from across the country than from down the street. It some ways, it is kind of cool to budget a week or two to just focus on a relationship. That relationship is less likely to be taken for granted than it is when you just see each other for a few minutes in a month as your paths cross. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to spend several days in my home.
Lots of Love,
Lynette
PS - sorry about the lost comment above. I am still trying to figure out how to post and sometimes I mess up pretty bad on the procedure stuff.
