MLK Day

Traditionally we go to visit the Provo/Lehi kids on "Milk Day", which is what I call Martin Luther King Day (get it, MLK?) We spent the weekend at Jake and Lizzie's new home, and had a great time. Lexi was there with us as well. It was so fun to see everyone, especially our little Josh, and also see for the first time, their new home in Lehi. It is really beautiful. Jake and Liz, you guys did a great job with picking out all the new house stuff! It was really pretty up there with all the snow and the frozen trees, and we didn't get one picture of the house, or the trees! Don't know what we were thinking. This is a picture of Josh playing in the snow in the park directly behind their house. We usually go tubing each year, but it was super cold, plus Jeff cracked a rib tubing last year, so I wasn't too keen on him doing that. (and if you saw a previous blog from last August, he cracked the rib again with that stunt at the back to school party.)
Here are a few pictures from our outing at the park. That's Jake's house behind us, so I guess we did get a picture, kind of.


Josh got to be pulled around on the sled.

I'm so glad Lexi got to stay there all weekend with us so we could be with her too. She's having a good time this year!
One of our other outings was going to the Bean Museum on BYU campus. Joshie loved the animals. Of course Josh loves his Bampa too. He was always saying "Where Bampa?" But he did talk about "Doe" now and again. (that's me, he just leaves off the Grammy part!) And just when he was letting me hold him and get some hugs and kisses, we had to leave for home.
Cute little family.

We had such a good time. Thanks Jake and Liz for making us welcome!

Looks like you guys had lots of fun! Wish we could have gone. And I always love the bean museum. Although they really should add some beans to the display.

Thats so great that you were able to visit. I'm sure it's hard being so far from all of you kids and grandkids. Joshie is a cute kid.

I'm so sad we weren't there this year! It looks like you guys had lots of fun. Joshie Bean is super cute. And he loves his Grammy "Doe" I'm sure!

That first picture of Joshie looks just like Jake. He sure is a cutie. Yes, welcome to the Utah Tundra. I guess you have to come up in the cold once in a while to appreciate your beautiful weather.
