Salt Lake...Council Bluffs, Iowa and home...

We left Blackfoot and went to Alpine, Utah to stay with Chris' brother Doug and sister-in-law Lori and their kiddos.  One of the first days we were there was Mother's Day.  The guys cooked us a Mother's day Dinner.  It was delicious.

Uncle Jamie came from SLC and he introduced us to his girlfriend Chelsea.  Everyone loved her especially Aubrey.

 We enjoyed spending time with Doug and Lori's kids.  They are so sweet!  Aubrey would come up to me and say,"I really like your outfit!" or "you look beautiful!"  She was so adorable and cuddly...which we don't get a lot of at our house. 

 We spent one day at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Pointe.  The kids loved it.

 Carter loved naming the dinosaurs he knew from watching a TV show of course!  Not from his mom:)

Eli was thrilled to be along for the ride!

 There was a fossil and water table to play in.  They had a ball splashing about!

 All the girls wanted to run by the sharks...but not Carter.  He wanted to climb in and touch his teeth.  He settled for a simple picture.

They even had a dino dig.  They got to dig for dinosaur bones in a big sand pit.  Clothes filled with sand but so much fun!

 Another day we wernt to Temple square in SLC.  Carter for months was asking to see "The Pipes!"  Yes the organ!

Cute JD enjoyed paling around.  What a doll!

 We loved the Christus as usual!  Such a wonderful feeling in this room.

 The colors on Temple Square were amazing as usual. 

 We did other things with Dave and Carlie and their kids (Dylan and Malia) as well as plenty of shopping and hanging out.  Carter loved playing with his cousins and it was sad when we had to go.  We miss them all wen we live so far away!
