KAI, Oma, Papa & Gwamma & Crampa Grapes

These last few days, we FINALLY made it to Salt Lake City to have a much needed vacation and heavy dose of the UTAH MOUNTAINS!!
We stayed with Tyson's grandma and grandpa, they were so nice and so hospitable, the perfect grandparents. They have all the grandkids call them, "Grandma and Grandpa Great" so we tried to teach this to Ashtyn, and the best she could do was, "Gramma & Crampa Grapes" it was so cute that we didn't want to correct her! She just loves them!!
We also got KAI BACK this week!! WHOO HOO!!! It had been 7 long weeks without him and it was so great to see him and now have him at home. I swear he has grown 12 INCHES since I last saw him! Ashtyn was so happy to see him that she wanted to sleep in the same bed with him, I am sorry about the pics, they are from my phone (I forgot my camera:()

We also spent a lot of time at Oma and Papa Schraders house, our second home. We haven't seen them in so long, and their home has had some awesome upgrades, it felt so good to be in my second home again! We missed you Ron and Val!! And all the rest of the family!!

Here are some pics of our niece, Vala, who climbed up on my knee and cuddled with me, then 1/2 hour later, she climbed up with Tyson and fell asleep on his shoulder! SOOOOO CUTE!!!

We were able to get our family pictures taken as well, my friend from high school, Kara, took them and she was so patient with my kids! Ashtyn was NOT very cooperative at all, she was very defiant and really does not like doing what she is told, (especially from a stranger) but I am desperately hoping she got some good shots because it is hard to get family pics taken with little cranky ones!:) Kara took us to a beautiful spot in Provo to take them alongside some railroad tracks and some old railroad cars. The weather was a beautiful 65 degrees!!
All in all, we had an amazing, fun and family filled vacation and cannot wait to come back to Utah. We are even thinking of making a trip there in September!!!
