Quick trip to Utah

My mom offered to watch our kids so we could enjoy a night away. Trent and I couldn't agree on where to go or what to do for a night...McCall, Portland, Salt Lake were all in the running. Portland was too far of a drive  for just a night or two. Most of McCall was already booked so we decided to go to Utah. We thought since we were going there, we should probably take the two older kids who have been begging to go to Utah all summer. So instead of a night away as a couple, we took the older kids on a little vacation without the babies.



Trent took Friday off work and we headed down. We checked into the hotel and took the kids swimming before we met Trent's parents at Beihanas for a fun dinner. Nick was asking all weekend if we could go back there to eat again, so he must have really liked it.

The next morning we took the Trax a few blocks down to temple square. The kids love the visitor center and we had to pull Nick out of there to go to Lagoon.

Next we headed to Lagoon Amusement Park. Our friends from Idaho,  the Belnaps, were also going this weekend, which made the day even more fun. Grandpa and Grandma Campbell also met us there so we had tons of fun with all our friends and family


Here is Nick and Bailey with their friends Kylie and Lexi at Lagoona Beach

All in all, it was a great weekend. We packed in a whole lot of fun in just a few days. It was nice to not have the babies (including their crankiness, crying and naps) to work around. We get so much more accomplished without two 18 month olds in tow. I did miss them though and was happy to see them when we got back home. So grateful for my parents so we could go and have some fun for the weekend and I could sleep through the night for the 1st time in a while :)

Bailey's Baptism

Bailey turned 8 on Saturday Feb 6th and was able to be baptized the same day. She already had a birthday party the night before, but she was more excited for her Baptism Day with all her family and friends. Here she is with her daddy before they left for the church.

 

Dressed all in white

Bailey had lots of family and friends come support her.....Grandpa and Grandma Campbell and cousin Kaizlynn came from Utah, The Bayleys (her cousins), Uncle Matt, Brandy, Aaron & Sunny and our friends the Belnap family.

Bishop Perkins and Sunny were there for the confirmation also.

Brother Snooks from the Bishopric talked about Bailey and what a sweet girl she is

Then afterwards everybody came to our house to celebrate the occasion and eat lots of yummy food and treats. Grandpa Campbell is fixing himself a delicious plate of Nachos!

And Grandpa Davis seemed to be enjoying the party too

Bailey has so many people who love her and was so grateful for everyone who made her birthday/baptism day special.

Babies Blessings

Jackson is happy and ready to go
