wrapping up our trip

We ended up moving into the house and out of the trailer after 2 nights because it was too cold for Sydney. She sure looks warmer now.

We went to Jennette and Jared’s ward. I love how Jennette loves my kids!

We went to Cooper’s grave, it’s the first time for Sydney, crazy how life changes and moves so fast. We’ve had 3 more kids since Cooper! I love how Clayton is kissing Sydney’s head.

Our family- we need a selfie stick!

Carter Mike- named after Grandpa Mike.

Hall Grandparent’s headstone-

We started the drive home, we got to Kanab and stayed the night. We were all happy to climb into bed and veg.

I love how excited Carter was about pringles. Him and Marlee are watching a show on the phone. It was great having a room with 3 beds.

feed & fly

While the older boys and I went flying, Laun and the littles fed the animals and got on the horses.

If any of our kids do what Laun does for a living, my bets are on Carter. This kid loves cows.

The horses-

Pure joy on this kids face.

The moment this girls been waiting for!

Carter also likes to ride the bear on Ryan’s couch.

Ryan’s plane only fits 4 people, so I’m glad he got a picture of Porter helping him fly, since I wasn’t able to see it.

 

Clayton and I’s turn!

Clayton got to help Ryan fly. It was fun to see Clayton so focused and listening to Ryan’s instructions.

And we’re up!

I didn’t want to help fly, not only to give Clayton the chance, but because I was already facing a fear going up in the plane at all. But boy am I glad I did and the views were awesome.

I did it and loved it!

Ryan, Clayton, Me and Brandon

Porter also got some fishing in today at one of Ryan’s ponds.

Never a dull moment around here.

Tonight all the adults went out to Native New Yorker and had a great time.

Oh Christmas Tree

I love the Hall tradition of cutting down Christmas trees the day after Thanksgiving.

Carter was wiped out. He was standing in the backseat (we were on a dirt road) and was talking and the nest minute, thud, he fell asleep and fell on the seat and he got a good little nap in.

The kids playing around or on the frozen pond, I’m surprised no one fell in.

Our Christmas tree this year and we are hauling it all the way back to Utah.

Porter driving-

Porter and Carter playing on a tree branch.

Marlee loves all her girl cousins, especially the older ones. She didn’t want to leave Georgia’s side.

Carter’s even cute when he eats and drinks hot chocolate.

Brothers- Ryan, Brandon and Laun, sharing a snack.

I love food, fires and family.

Sydney loves when I pack her in the carrier and falls fast asleep. It’s one of the few times she’ll take the binky.

Heading back to Ryan’s house with a train of vehicles and Christmas trees.

Tonight the girl cousins put on a dance/play. They had a backdrop, signs, costumes, props and dancing.
