Sariah and Ben visit Utah

We spent two weeks in Utah. It has been a year since we moved away so it was so fun to see all the family again, especially for Ben. This is his cousin Teo who was only 2 months old when we left. We went to: Hogle Zoo, Spanish Fork Reservoir, Chuck E Cheese, The Young Living Farm and visited all the Utah Grandparents. Because it was Aunt Rachel's High School Graduation, we got to see Aunt Becca from Minnesota and Ben's Great Grandparents from Washington state. Unfortunately we caught colds and were sick half the time so we didn't get to see all the friends we hoped to, but we'll be back:)

Rachel and I went to the Capitol Theater and
saw: The Barber of Seville. "Figaro, figaro..."

Ben and Jojo. 

Chuck E Cheese

Grandpa Paul took ben to good old Chuck E Cheese.
B said," this is my favorite store!" 

Ben and cousin Zoey, collecting eggs at Grandpa Reed's. 

B loves babies, especially his cousin Teo. 

We went to Rachel's High School Choir concert.
During the performance, Ben kept yelling,
"Where's Rachel?! I can't see her!"
After this experience, Ben is definately joining
the choir. 

Happy 3rd Birthday:)

Ben's birthday fell in our trip to Utah, so Auntie Becca made him a
triple layer chocolate cake from scratch. "Yummers." 

Auntie Rachel's High School Graduation

Ben just congratulated her with a stick to add to the flowers and candy.

It's all about the candy
