Rain Rain Don't Go Away

We have had a bit of a monsoon season here the last couple of weeks. Lots of cloudiness and rain in the afternoons. It is really good because we started the summer in a drought and they actually just lifted our watering restrictions. So one early evening Jane and I were sitting on the front grass watching the clouds and the lightning. She was so fascinated by the lightning. It was her first time really seeing it. When it actually started to rain she didn't want to go inside. You can't tell in these pictures but it is raining and she is just loving it. You can tell more better in the video. 

Yes she said Wahoo. It is her favorite expression of excitement right now. I actually really love it.
I can't leave Grant out of this post so here is some super cuteness for you.

All over Utah

We went to Utah last month. We had a whirlwind tour going around to visit as much as the family as possible. Unfortunately, I was still not able to see everyone. When we first got there, Jeff's mom was in town because his sister had just had a baby. So we spent some time over there the first weekend. Jane loved playing with cousins, especially since they had so many beautiful dresses (as she would say). Get ready for a whole ton of pics

Here is the newest member of the family. His name is Tyler and he was a cutie. Him and Grant will be good friends.

I was able to see my good friend Danielle and her kids while I was there. They were living in Texas and just happened to be there too.

I stayed at my sister Audrey's house and Grant was a big hit. Well so was Jane and the younger kids played with her the whole time.

Then we started to make our way north. We stopped in SLC to see my friend Misty and her new baby and daughter. Jane and Sophia had matchy swim suits. I seriously love this pic of Jane on the phone. She looks like she is having a real conversation. I also love the pic of the two babies and how it looks like Max has his finger in Grants mouth.

With all of the playing, Jane would often fall asleep in the car when we were driving around. She wouldn't let me take away the pretzels. She wanted to eat so bad but was too tired.

We then went to Logan to see Aunty Fun. Even though there was no kids at her house, Jane had so much fun with all the animals. Horses, dog and cats. Plus a lot of cool toys. We also did some strawberry picking.

Aunty Fun went to Morgan to stay at my sister Shauna's with us. She had cousins and and tramp and swings. So once again Jane was in heaven.

This is Jane and Amelia. She is my nephews daughter. We were trying to figure out what relation these two are but I am not sure there is a name for it.

And, of course we spent time at Rachel's house. Mabel is a favorite to play with. Not only do they have beautiful dresses, Mabel is all about the make up lately and showed her skills with Jane. Very nice.

Even though we did a ton of driving. I am so happy we did it. I loved seeing everyone and visiting up north, as I don't get up there very often. Also, a bonus is that my nephew Golden was able to come back and spend some time with us here.
