Utah visit

 4 kids on an airplane...I came prepared.

 Temple Square with the Poseys.

 We also met up with our friends who used to live in Baltimore, Yeji and Sunbeam Choi.  We've missed them and their yummy Korean food.

 The children's museum on Temple Square was really fun too.  I definitely recommend it.

 In Provo we got together with Auntie Christine and cousin Oli at the Bean museum on BYU campus.  This is the Liger we're in front of.

 Uncle Chris and Aunt Tracy even drove up to Draper to hang out with us!

 The Cheltz!!  What a cool cousin.

 We did a hike with some Posey cousins.  It was beautiful and so nice to be in the fresh mountain air!  I'd forgotten how much I love the mountains.

 Two babies in front.  Eugene is squishing the other one.

 Ammon and his amazing Mom.

 Kinley and Ryley

 Evy and Cole

 Amy with all the cute kiddos.

 Attack Amy!

 Great Grandpa Jensen, giving Eugene his afternoon bottle.  What a treat.

 At the splash park in Springville.

 My cousins Janelle and Rachel met up with us at the park.  So fun to see them and their growing kids and all of the new kids that I'd never even met before.  Being in Springville brought back memories too.  I lived there when I was in 7th grade.

 We had a nice BBQ with Grandma and Grandpa Jensen in their back yard.  I've sure missed them.  Christine cooked us up nice feast.  Grandma and Eugene got along so well!  She loves those babies.

 Swimming at Jon and Erin's pool

 A day on Utah Lake on Papa Posey's boat!

I love that Y on the mountain in the background.

 Ammon's still got it.

 Yeah, Juliana's still got some.

 That is some nasty water.

All of the kids took a turn kneeboarding!

 Ryley was a pro

 Jensen did great, but as you can see, he didn't like it.

 Evy was very brave and very strong.  She took me seriously when I said "don't let go" and when she fell off the board she rode underwater for a good 5 seconds.  She said she saw Nemo underwater.

 We'll miss these Posey cousins!  Til next time!!

Hello St. Louis

 The drive to St. Louis was a pretty long one.  13 hours from Baltimore.  We thought we could do it in one day since we stopped at my parents house over night, which cut it down to only 10 hours in one day.  Yeah... we didn't make it.  Between mine and Ryley's strep throat and Jensen's asthma attack there were a dozen potty stops.  We ended up at a hotel in Louisville for the night and finished the next day.  It was weird to watch the trees disappear as we drove.  We finally made it though.  There was only time to quickly get the boxes out of the moving truck before we left on our vacation to visit family in Utah and California.

I saw this sign on our drive out to St. Louis and had to take a quick pic with my new phone camera.  Poseyville!!  That's where we should be living!

 I had Ryley take a picture of the big arch as we entered the city, while crossing the Mississippi.

 Here's our new house.  We're renting it.  It has 4 bedrooms and more importantly, a backyard!

Yeah for backyards!

One last trip to Assateague Island

After packing all of our stuff into the ABF moving truck, we drove to the beach for one last camping trip to our favorite place, even though it was in the opposite direction from where we are headed.  My neighbor and good friend Autumn and her kids came with us and it was a great time.

 Jensen and his buddy River

 Evy and her buddy Sage.

 My buddy Autumn

 Such handsome boys

 this girl is happiest at the beach

 nap time for Eugene

 lots of sand crabs

the wild ponies.  There was even a little baby pony!
