Heading West

I am finally getting around to blogg'in our trip out West and I am going to split if up for my sake.


We haven't been to Utah in almost 2 years, so it was fun to get to go out.

I think we have been gone way too long because both boys got a lot of these from the dry air...

Bloody noses! And we were constantly nursing Ashlyn's skin from breaking out- she experienced all sorts of crazy things. But now that we are back home, this is all just a memory!

We drove down to American Fork to see my brother and his very prego wife. We had a lot of fun at the pool with them- actually we had so much fun that she went into labor just 8 hours later! So here is the new addition to the King Clan...

Introducing Lochten Enoch King

We also got to see one of my heroes in life...

My Grandfather, Max King, still going strong!


And we got a visit from 3 out of my 7 amazing cousins and my uncle David ...

We did a whole lot of swimming in the pool at the Cabin in Morgan, UT. And Dylan learned how to do this...

He watched his other cousins doing it and literally "jumped right in" the fun. This kid has no fear! We also had a Fun BBQ with some of our friends that live in Utah. We were so happy to catch up with them all- at the same time we let Connor blow out his candles and I gave him his last birthday present- a book of poems from family and friends. Thank you to all who contributed- it is entertaining reading!!!

And a trip to Utah wouldn't be complete for Connor if he didn't get to spend some time (or maybe a lot of time) on the boat doing some of this...

Well I couldn't let him hog all the glassy water!

Dylan and Ashlyn were both brave enough to try tubing! I don't know that either of them will do it again (Ashlyn got sucked under the water and Dylan thought it was too fast.)

And we had a crazy driver...

We were so exhausted most of the time that Corbin took a snooze on the boat

And almost every night we had to search to find where Ashlyn had ended up. This time she was almost under our bed...
The weather was great and so was the company! Thanks y'all!!
