Labor Day Trip!!

Aunt Lindsea flew up to Utah from Florida for a half marathon, so Bampa Dale and Mama Rae got tickets for us to fly down and see everybody! Rock was pretty silly stoked about the plane ride!
He got to sit with his grandparents and be cool, instead of being around his lame parents.
Ryker wasn't as lucky.
We got to Sherry's house in Sandy at around midnight, and the kids were up waiting for us. R&R were excited about the attention.
Almost everyone woke up early the next day to meet Travis and Lindsea at the finish line of the race. Rock was still loving both the attention and not having to walk.
He was all smiles around the family.
Saturday afternoon Rissa, Whit, Nick, KC, Dad and I went down to Provo for the BYU-UW game. Nick couldn't help but notice the picture on the UW truck...it's of the Huskies getting ready to punt or kick a field goal. That means that their most intimidating picture for the truck is of them not scoring a touchdown. Fourth down, it's the Husky football way.
Here is one of the plays on our end of the field.

Dad, KC and I sat in Sherry and Larry's seats (THANKS!!) while the kids were over in the student section.
The next morning we all got up early for church, which normally isn't an adventure. Well, with my cousin TJ everything is an adventure. Here he is posing as "Mario TJ".
Ryker wishes he had a cool Mario mustache.
Marissa led us on a tour of all the chapels in Utah where Sherry and Larry DON'T have church, we finally found the right meetings. After the meetings DeA got to meet with two of her aunts, Karen and Jan. They have uncle Dustin hair.
TJ had a skateboard in the backyard, and so Rock added it to his list of hobbies.
Sherry and Larry also have a sweet trampoline, and Rock jumped himself out cold.

Sunday afternoon we took some family pictures. Rock knew he had to look his best, and so he got all dudded up.
Aunt Sherry helped him get ready.
I would post some pictures of the family, but Mama Rae wants to be the first to post them (which she did! Click here). Hopefully with school starting they will be up soon.
Eventually we ran all out of time for fun and had to fly home. Rock was still excited about flying in an airplane, but not excited to leave everybody.
Ryker decided that being with his Mommy was a pretty good way to go.

Mama Rae packed some cartoon for Rock, and he watched them all the way to and from Utah. We could hear him yell or laugh at random times, and since he had headphones on he would yell extra loud.
Now that we are home Ryker can get back to trying to master his crawling. It's still more of a moon-crawl instead of a forward crawl, but it's coming. Oh yeah, it's coming.
