After Hawaii, I spent a couple weeks in Utah with the Quinns and was able to visit some of my favorite people.
Ira and I met Rebecca (Erekson) Hansen in Provo for Thai.
She's amazing as usual, a newlywed and finishing up law-school.
Second cousins born a week apart. They had a blast...probably because they were both up past bed time.
Diane, Jonny and Dorothy!
Uncle Robert
Mary and Barney :)
I'm just a couple months along, but Mary was about to deliver. Her new baby girl shares my b-day!
Don and Joan Wallace! Ira didn't want to leave their place.
The Proulxs: So good to catch up. We had a little Marietta reunion with scrapple and woopie pies.
Ira disco skinny dipping in the mountains.
Ira wanted to do every thing his cousin Truman did.
Hehe.
Mackay and the boys hanging out in the hammock.
We hiked Bald Mountain, which is only 2 miles, but gains about 1250 ft. I thought I'd have permanent indents in my shoulders from the old backpack I used to haul Ira up and back.
I think Ira has the music bug. He not only loves the ukulele and the piano but was completely mesmerized by Dallin's trumpet playing.
Camping in the Uintas was really fun. It made me want to camp more since Ira seemed to be in heaven and slept decently.
I love the head-wear, especially the pink pants on Jean's head to keep mosquitoes off.
Yum!
This is out of focus, but it kind of captures the moment. Ira could not stop kissing his little cousins! Hopefully he'll like baby's just as much in 6-ish months.
This would be a fun Ellsworth Family reunion activity. We stayed up ridiculously late doing double.
exposures.
Utah was happy, way more fun then hanging out in our new apartment all by myself + Ira for a month. I think Ira went through withdrawals when we left, of course until Anthony got home from China. :) We'll be back soon for Thanksgiving!
