A Quick Trip

Delta had a great last minute deal to Salt Lake City and so when my parents called to tell me about it, and then John & Leslie agreed to watch the girls....well I was surprised and excited to jump on board...with Tate in my lap.

It's always a lil nerve racking for me to travel with kids this age, but Tate did great.

The plastic water bottle, his favorite toy!

I flew in on Mark's birthday with plans for a lil pizza party that evening for him, sadly he came down with a flu of some sorts that day and was out of commission and quarentined in his room the whole time I was there. He was a good sport about it alll

I didn't remember to get the camera out-and when I did I didn't because I just wanted to enjoy the time I was able to spend with my family and not ruin it with a flash. I pretty much only saw family including my grandparents who I didn't get a picture of while I was there. It was great to see the look of surprise on my Grandma's face when I walked in the door.

My Mom and I met my younger sister Amber, My older sister Shelly and her family at Gardner's Village to see the Halloween witches, so much fun!

Chocolate anyone?

We had a mini-Payne reunion at Fred & Marion's since 3-sister in-law's were all in town visiting Family.

Steven's wife Silvia & Alex, David's wife Bethany and Maddy, and Tate and I-Kids are born between 11/26/08-2/10/09

It was great to see how Well Marion was doing, to see Lisa and her family, and Ashley & Jordan!!!

Nicholas has a great eye with the camera don't you think?

Tate had a good time with his Grandma and Grandpa Harris and by the end of the trip would even leave the room without his mom, to go see the dogs of course! My sister Brooke got herself a new dog, a 75-lb Boxer named Scout. She's a great dog and even allowed Tate to chase her around the house. Totally should've gotten a picture of that! The boy isn't scared of anything!

While in Utah, Tate learned to wave Bye-bye. My baby is still growing up!

I really did miss my dear sweet husband and my fun loving girls, but I did appreciate not worrying about running after, entertaining or refereeing the girls. All I have to say is One child is soooo much easier than three!
