Random Favorites

So like I mentioned earlier, I took over 400 pics while I was in Utah and even though I have two more posts to do (Living Legends Reunion and Baby blessing) I had a few extra pics that didn't fit in anywhere but I wanted to have for my blog book, so here they are in this random post.

Cam wins the super baby flier award. He handled the 5 1/2 hour flights like a champ and received many compliments from the people around him for being so sweet and mellow. Probably helped that Daddy has such a comfy shoulder to sleep on.

I know I've posted pics like this before but I seriously love our stroller! and this is the first time Cam was in a stroller pic so I had to put it in ; )

And while I'm showing the many merits of our sit and stand stroller, It also nicely accommodates Brinley's car seat (with Sleeping Teya inside), which turned out to be very convenient on a late night at the airport.

Trip Highlights:

My thoughtful little brother Jake and his adorable wife made a special effort to take the girls out on a date with their Auntie and Uncle. The girls haven't had a lot of interaction with Jake and Scar so it was really sweet to see them run up and hug them like they've lived next door all their lives. Family bonds are neat like that. : )

It was also neat seeing our nephew Eric who recently returned from a mission and just got engaged to the beautiful Ashley (soon to be) Rigg.

BYU made it to the sweet 16 and they were showing the game on the jumbo Tron at the Marriott Center. Taber went with Brett and his family to support our Cougars from afar.

Bread sticks at the Pizza Factory. A really happy moment for all the little Rigg kids

Eating at In-N-Out with Sarah. A really happy moment for the big Rigg kid (and Sarah)

I thought this was funny because we actually bought McDonalds for the kids and smuggled it into In-N-Out. (they're too young to appreciate In-N-Out's awesomness) So here they are posing with their In-N-Out hats and McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Awesome.

Love this pic of Noa and Brinley, he's totally doing like a prom picture pose. Such cute cousins.

And speaking of Cousins, Teya was beyond giddy to be able to spend so much time with two of her favorites. Skyla (Taber's brother's daughter) and Maile (my sister's daughter) The three of them were pretty inseparable and Teya already misses them like crazy.

Love this one of Taber and our kids his Parents and Grandma. So glad they were able to make the drive out from Colorado to be there.

And I'll end with Grandma Uda and her 3 littlest Grandsons. Cam all squished up against her just makes me smile. Yay for Utah and random picture posts :)

Your stroller pictures amaze me! Ha ha! that stroller certainly serves its purpose, and then some! I, too, still can't believe all you crammed in to your trip! What a blast!

I saw that stroller at the airport and it was amazing! What a beautiful posterity we have! All of the little grandkidlets are adorable! I especially love the one with Grandma and the three boys. We all had such a fun time when you were out here and miss you even more now. We are so blessed!

I have loved reading all of your Utah trip posts! I am jealous of both your Utah trip and your stroller right now.

(I will have to come back and comment on your other posts when I am not nursing - it's taking me too long to type!)

Okay, I know I already commented on this one, but I just have to say I love that last picture of Cam all snuggled in next to his grandma! The look on his face is so cute!
