Plane, Decorating, and Fishing

Well we've been back about a week now from our trip out to Utah. It was so fun to be there in the Fall...it has been a long time since we've seen the mountains with fall colors on them!

The plane rides went ok. The boys had both woken up the day before we left with runny noses, so I was worried we'd have super cranky kids, but it was ok. We pulled out the DVD player for the boys and thought we'd be free to watch something on the iPod, but Tommy got bored real quick.

Grandma and Grandpa met us at the airport and once we got our things together, we headed home. Tommy couldn't keep his mouth shut. He kept yelling, "Grah-ma! I ride horsies!"(we're not sure why he was talking about horses) and "Biiiiggg Rocks!"(while seeing the mountains)
Grandma saved some of the decorating for the boys to help. She had lots of fun window clings that the boys loved.


Ainsley and her baby showed up later in the evening. It was good to finally meet that sweet baby girl! Tommy and Baby Cailin had a special little love. She would light up when he was around and most of the time he loved giving her toys and hugging her. There were a number of times where he would say, "no baby!" or throw toys at her though.

Sunday dinner was so good. We had two different kinds of salsa, ribs, twice baked potatoes, cookies, and lots of other yummy things. Grandma and JaVan came and Megan. Damon stuck to Quinn and Megan like glue...especially since they had the iPod.


Grandpa took Damon to buy new fish to fill up the fish tank. Damon talked him into getting a little Fiddler's crab too. That sucker tried to escape a couple times! He would climb up the plants in the tank and hang out at the top and one time we found him in the filter read to leap! I think he watched Nemo too much:)

One day we went up the canyon so Damon could learn to fish and for lunch. It was so beautiful! After awhile, the guys got smart and took the hook off so Damon could practice casting. He was pretty good. Tommy just loved throwing rocks in the water and feeding 2 ducks pretzels.

Have I mentioned how much I miss you guys? I love that Damon is basically on Quinn's lap while they're playing with the ipod.
