UtAh!

We made it! After a LoNg 20 hour drive we pulled into Price at 6:00 a.m. Only two hours later than we planned...We had no problems with the roads until we hit the mountain pass outside of Denver. I thought we were going to die. Not even exaggerating. That pass is usually bad when we travel it, but I've never seen anything like this. It was snowing, with winds somewhere around 40 mph, and lots of insane semi drivers. The snow was blowing so hard that I think the furthest we could see in front of us was two to four feet...for about two hours. It was dark outside so that didn't help the situation. It's a good thing that my hubby is such a good, calm driver in those situations. I was doing enough freaking out for the two of us. Despite it being three in the morning we were WIDE awake. I guess that's a blessing! We drove straight through with only small stops for gas and food. The girls did AMAZING. All of my worrying about miss em was for nothing. She slept pretty much the whole time. I think the longest she was ever awake was two hours, and even then she was pretty pleasant. I only had to climb into the baskseat about three times, for which I am grateful. Me, trying to get my body launched over the front seat, and squeezing into the tiny backseat is not such a pretty sight. I'm sure there were many entertained drivers passing us. I can't even describe what an awesome feeling it was to pull into Price and see the mountains. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the mountains. I love the midwest, but sorry it can't compete with the Utah Mtns. We are having a blast despite the tiny amount of sleep we have had. These are just a preview of the pics that show how much fun we are having!! Have a great holiday week!

Em LOVES her Aunt Cole. And the feeling is mutual. They were both so excited to meet each other. I love having so many extra pairs of helping hands around!!
Banana and cousin Blayr. Banana can't get enough of playing with her cousins. It is so neat to see them running aroud, being crazy together.
A cute Banana in her new christmas dress.Em and Aunt Keek. She is such a happy baby out here, and is doing amazing with all of the new people she is meeting. Everyone can't believe how much she smiles, and how cute she is!Banana and Daisy love being silly together, and REALLY loved jumping on hubby's back for a solid fifteen minutes...hilarious to watch, but pretty sure he's hurting now :)
