CHRISTMAS!!!

This year for Christmas we went to Utah!
We stayed at my Mom and Rob's (thank you guys sooo much we had a blast!) and even got to play in snow, which is a lot more fun then I remember. So here are pictures and videos and lots of them. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and thank you everyone for such a great Christmas holiday!!
Playing in Houston before the big trip.


Kailyn got her hair trimmed before we left for Utah.
Augustus trying out his super baby powers.
Opening presents at the Kelley's.
We had Christmas with the Kelley's before we flew out. This is Wyatt elated with his new BB Gun!

Plane ride they all did great both ways! Way back was especially good because Travis didn't have any one sitting on his row so Wyatt and Kailyn both got window seats!


First item of business, SNOW FIGHT!
Travis and Rob took Wyatt to Cabela's and the Ancient Life Museum. Travis took over 50 pictures so I just picked the most amusing one. Ninja Wyatt under a skeleton.

Christmas Eve we went to Temple Square to look at the lights.
Samson took Augustus. As you can tell that probably wasn't the smartest idea. But he redeemed himself the next day in getting Gus to stay asleep and nap with him.



Tired kids in their Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve.
Hanging stockings up before bed.
Christmas MORNING!



His dinosaur feet!!! I think Travis was more excited about these than Wyatt.
Kailyn with her baby named "My Little Pony Baby" and she weighed "2 dollars" and "25 incheeses".



Reading Pinkalicious with Aunt Amber!

Now these are more his style!

Getting suited up in their new jackets and boots (thanks Mom and Rob) to go play in snow!!


The snow had melted in Provo so we headed up to Samson and Tanya's in Midway for a fun afternoon of snow! Thank you guys we all had a blast!
Hiding in the igloo with Shay to the La!
(Side Note: Gus has five pairs of socks on and his feet only touched the ground once and it was right here in this picture)



Kailyn and Jack at the kid table.
Snack time with Grandpa Clark
Heart to heart about her nail polish that was coming off her fingernails.


When Wyatt first talked to my Grandpa when he arrived Wyatt came over and told me
Wyatt: "I wish that he could be my grandpa because he's so nice!"
Me: "You know what Wyatt, he is. He is your Great Grandpa"
Wyatt: "Really?"
Me: Shaking my head yes.
Wyatt: "Yes! That is so great!"
So it was icing on the cake when I explained to him that my grandpa's last name was Clark. He's eyes widened only to say
"my other name is Clark TOO!!!"
And as an added bonus Grandpa told Wyatt about the trains he has at his house and stories about how he used to help at his uncles (if I heard right) farm! Needless to say Wyatt has a another favorite Grandpa!

Rob took the kids an I on a little walk to feed some ducks.

Watching the only two ducks that would stray from the other feeding frenzy to come eat our food, then leave again.

Jack's surprised face!
Jack's angry face.
After the duck expedition we went to the M. Bean museum at BYU.
A whole lot of stuffed dead animals.
It was fun.
Wyatt spring breakin' it.



Hanging, literally, with Uncle Nic.
Sledding at Dobson's in Spanish Fork.
We got to visit with my Grandparents on the Dobson side and play horse, of course.
Festival of lights in Spanish Fork
Pretty amazing. Our favorites were the bucking broncos, skier going down the jump, the princess castle and the huge train. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa (and Dad and Celeste) for telling us about it.
Our last day about an hour before we left for the airport, I told the kids they could go out and kick what was left of their snowman. So they did.

Ash, Hannah says her favorite part of your trip was seeing "her" grandpa, but she will share:) As for the farm I believe it was a family farm. I believe Grandpa lived there until his family moved to Henderson, NV.

Looks like you had fun! Happy New Year!
