North Carolina and baby Henry

From Utah we flew to North Carolina.  The flights were long and hard on Autumn (or maybe just me)  but the worst was the two hour lay over with nothing to do but let Autumn hang out on the moving sidewalks while I watched people freak out that she was alone on the thing.  But we finally made it to Charlotte to visit my sister and her family and meet little Henry. 

Autumn was in love with baby Henry.  She asked to hold him all the time.  She also wanted to help with diapers and like to "push" him in the swing.

Alice is a ball of fire...she is not only wearing her jammy shirt inside out but also upside down.

The kids had lots of fun in the back yard...this day they were playing with dish soap foam.

I love bath pictures of cousins.  There is hardly any room in the tub for people since there are so many toys, but you get the idea...

Rex playing t-ball.  Alice and Autumn would shout, "Go Rex GO!"

Mother's day.

More hanging out in the back yard.  Heather borrowed an extra car from a neighbor, but no matter what, whichever car was occupied first was the coveted car.

Then we went to a "petting zoo"  or rather a death ride.  You were suppose to feed the animals out the windows, but they had no problems coming into the car to find food.  It was super terrifying.  It is hard to tell your kids not to be afraid, when you yourself are wetting yourself from laughing and crying from the scary zoo animals.  But it was fun I promise.

The kids liked to feed the pigs...they were small and couldn't get near the windows.

The kids watching TV and eating popcorn...separated...we had problems with sharing all week.

Baby Henry...so serious.

Utah part II Cal's wedding

My cousin Calvin got married the weekend after Noah's graduation so Autumn and I decided to stay and just combine all our trips together...especially since we already had a trip planned to visit my sister in North Carolina.

The happy couple, Elizabeth and Calvin Roberts.  They got sealed in the LDS Bountiful temple.

Autumn getting bored of taking pictures after the ceremony and playing in the flowers.

My mom and her mom....why I didn't get a four generation picture I'm not sure-especially since my outfit totally coordinated.

Autumn eatting her "happy pills" aka M&Ms

Brad, Calvin, and Noah: freshmen roommates

I thought it was totally funny that the bride helped snap a photo of the boys.

At the luncheon after the wedding.  Autumn took out her braids and gave herself "cra hair" as she says-Also attempting to do the Marilyn over the air vent.

I love when groomsmen are all dressed up and I especially love argyle.  My cousins were confused why they had to wear matching socks if no one could see them and no one took pictures of them...so I helped them out.

My mom meet up with some neighborhood friends from when she was little and they decided to "crash" the wedding.  It was so funny to watch my mom straight up giggle with her gal pals.

This is what Autumn did practically the whole reception...eat mini cupcakes...or rather lick the frosting off of them.

more licking...

Smiling while in the receiving line

Autumn asking for yet another cupcake.

Autumn waiting for the bouquet toss with the bridesmaids...and Rachel who inadvertently matched perfectly with bridesmaid's dresses.

Autumn "caught" the bouquet.  All the girls just stood there as they watched it drop on the floor then someone picked it up and handed it to Autumn.  It was pathetic!

My cousin Cameron also "caught" the garter.

This is aunt Traci trying to be sly and getting a picture of Rachel and Noah together.

Here is Autumn sometime after the wedding with my grandma Dorthy.  They are such great hosts and don't mind Autumn being a 2 year old at there house.  Autumn insisted on climbing up the counter and using the hose thingy to "waA hands"

Utah part I

After our visit in AZ Autumn and I flew to Utah while Evan flew back home to get back to work.  Autumn is a great flyer, always has been, but she never sleeps on the plane...until this time yay!  The pictures are out of order but the main reason we went to Utah was because my little younger brother graduated from BYU (in statistics and psychology).  My other brother and his family also came out for the event.  Autumn and Korey got along quite well.  Autumn liked having a little person to boss around care for.  I often heard Autumn say, "come Korey Korey".

We went bowling one day...I was quite sore after that.  I didn't do to bad but apparently I have a bunch of ballers in my family.

We scheduled a tour of the conference center with my dad's aunt DeAnn.  She did an excellent job.  It was a fun tour.  While we were waiting for my aunt Deb to show up we saw my bff's dad in the lobby.  Apparently her whole family was there for a wedding.  So Kendra and her sweet baby Jane found us on the tour and tagged along for a bit.  Also note that Korey insisted on holding my mom's hand while in the stroller the whole time, and sometimes insisted on here dad's hand too!

Kendra and sweet baby Jane.

On Sunday my mom watched the little girls while we went and saw Music and the Spoken Word in the tabernacle.

Autumn is in love with temples.  We had lots of fun looking out the window as we drove around Utah looking for temples.  We saw Mt. Timpanogos (she really wanted to go inside that one, but I told her she was too little and she said to me, "Autumn tall".  So sad), Jordan River, Salt Lake the Provo city center temple, Bountiful, and a few others from the car.

Cake topper!

Korey hated taking a bath until the last night they were there.  My grandparents have a huge "swimming pool" in their bathroom.  Autumn and Korey are laughing at uncle Noah in this picture.

My SIL teaches gymnastics part time and thought it would be fun to take the girls to a little class.  That morning it snowed and my California relatives freaked out!  Alas we still took the kids to the class.  Autumn did really well and really enjoyed pretty much all of it.  I was really impressed at how she could get her legs parallel to the ground on the bars....the picture is before she got them all the way up.

Korey thought the Grandfather clock was really cool.  So every 15 minutes Jess ran her to the clock.  Autumn joined in too, but only because Jess and Korey got so excited over it.  After they left Autumn would look around to tell Korey the clock was going off.

We went to the duck pond at BYU one day while Noah was cleaning his apartment.  Here Autumn is throwing bread at the ducks.

Korey eating the bread..

I tried to get a picture of Autumn and the "Y", instead I took a picture of Korey and Dustin, but you can see Autumn's legs in the back ground.

Autumn loved the fountain in the JFSB courtyard.

My cousin Calvin and Noah...born 9 days apart and both graduating.

They let people go to the front row to take pictures when their graduate was coming across the stage.  Autumn wanted to come with me so we both sat for a few minutes at the front.  I kept telling Autumn to look for Noah.  Once she spotted him she jumped up and ran all the way to the back where my parents were sitting all the while yelling "NOAH COMING NOAH COMING".  It was adorable.

Dustin, Rachel Zitting, mom, Noah, Autumn, me, dad

Korey apparently is a champion sleeper so she stayed home with Jess and slept till 11 or something.  

Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Sune...who didn't go to the graduation because they went to my cousin Jessica's in Rexburg the previous week...I guess you can only handle so many graduations.

Autumn and Korey playing in the play room under the stairs.

Bowling (same event as above)....Autumn even got her own shoes...so cute.
