The one with the road trip...

Immediately after Jon's graduation we headed straight to UT. We were anxious to get back. We drove from San Antonio to Lubbock TX, which took us until 9 that night. It was bad, but not terrible. They mainly just watched movies the whole time. Until it got dark that is. Apparently Ellie doesn't like the dark. She screamed the whole time until she fell asleep. Then she woke up and cried some more, then fell asleep right before we got to the hotel. Come to find out, she had a major poop explosion, which is why she woke up and cried the 2nd time. It was terrible!
The next morning we woke up and left by 8 and drove to Flagstaff. That day was bad. Ellie had had enough. Plus there was almost no scenery to look at. Completely bare and boring.

 Here she is, super pissed at the world!

 We stopped at DQ for lunch and that seemed to cheer her up a bit. 

 The dilly bar did wonders for her attitude!

 Taegen took so long to eat that his melted, so this is how he had to eat it. 

 Which obviously made a huge mess. But he loved it.

 This is how he fell asleep that night. :) Super comfortable, I'm sure. 

The next morning we only had 4 hours to go, but they were the hardest because of the drastic elevation changes. Taegen didn't seem to mind too much, as long as he had something to chew on so his ears didn't plug. Ellie on the other hand didn't understand why I was constantly shoving food at her and she kept turning it all down. She she was grabbing her ears saying "ow, ow" over and over. I felt so bad for her. Luckily it didn't last for too long. 

We made it to Stg around 1. We stopped and saw my dad at his work, then went to Jon's parents. 

Jon found out that he would be starting his job on the 27th of January, so he had a couple weeks to just relax. Me and the kids stayed in Stg until the end of february, when the house we found became available. 

Now we're settled in our house in north Ogden and we're loving our space. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed being around our families, but with 2 young kids, its finally nice to be in our own house. :) Thank you so much to our parents for letting us stay with you guys. We love you!
