Trip to Utah

Last week, Makenna and I went to Logan, Utah to visit my sister Amanda and her 11 month old baby girl Kate. We had such a fun time. Makenna absolutely loved seeing her cousin; she got so excited every time she saw Kate. Unfortunately for Kate though, Makenna expressed her excitement by trying to grab any part of Kate that she could get including her hair, hands, feet, clothes, etc. After being tugged on a few times, Kate decided that it was probably in her best interests to ignore Makenna.

We did lots of fun things with the babies. Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Makenna snuggling with her aunt Amanda

Swimming in the baby pool on the deck. It was freezing cold the first day, so Makenna wouldn't sit down, but just wanted to bounce and splash.

Sharing bath time with Kate

Playing with the sunscreen bottles

Eating fruit loops and animal crackers at the aquatic center. Makenna learned to feed herself these yummy treats while we were in Utah!

Amanda and I made floral headbands for the babies. It was a fun project.

Although not quite as fun as it was when Amanda made a hat out of the extra flowers! I think it might have been a little heavy!


We bought Makenna and Kate matching outfits (same size too). It was quite the struggle to get a good shot of them together. Makenna was more interested in trying to grab Kate, and Kate was more interested in getting away.

This was the best shot.
We had so much fun, and are so glad that we made the trip out there. Thanks for letting us come Amanda! We can't wait for you to come to Omaha, so that we can play some more!
