Moab!

We sent daddy to Arizona to watch some spring training baseball games with some friends.  While he was gone, we went to visit grandma, grandpa, Kassi, Greg, Colton, and Uncle Ty in Moab.  We got there on Sunday and took the boys to the park.  They had so much fun playing together.  Colton wanted to have a stick race in the creek, but when his sticks didn't come out the other side he went under the bridge and found a dam.  Which turned into throwing rocks into the creek.  All three boys thought it was the best thing ever.  They seriously threw the rocks for an hour.  It was so fun.

Mackay spent most of his time searching for big rocks, while Nolan was perfectly content to throw anything he found.  They laughed and laughed every time a rock splashed.

 

After the park we went back to grandma's for a bit for some quiet time (skipping naps) and have dinner before heading up to the rodeo arena to ride Colton's horse.  All three boys had so much fun throwing dirt into a garbage can.  When Greg was ready to take them for a ride they weren't happy about it.  They loved getting up by the horse and petting him, but they definitely didn't want to ride him.  They ran all over the arena, which was impressive because the place is huge and the ground is not solid, at all.  Mackay was covered in dirt, and had dirt in his mouth and kept trying to lick his hand to get the dirt out... it was a huge mess.  His arm was covered in saliva-y mud, and he couldn't figure it out.  It was pretty funny.  (Mama didn't take any pictures because it was dark and they didn't end up riding the horse).

The next day we just hung out with grandpa.  It was good for the boys to get some time in with him.  They found out where grandpa keeps the treats and kept dragging him in the kitchen for more.  They loved hanging out with him.

Before we left Tuesday afternoon, we had to get some photos of all three boys wearing their minion shirts.... Aunt Kassi had bubbles so we played with bubbles for a bit.  We called Uncle Ty out to help us blow bubbles so mommy could get some pictures of the boys playing.

Colton really liked helping his cousins.

 Mackay couldn't figure out that he was supposed to put his mouth on the bubble wand.

Nolan's pucker lips for blowing... 

I think Colton is winning...

The boys are always so sad when we have to leave.  We don't get to see this side of the family much and we always have so much fun.  

The boys really missed their daddy, and it was especially hard when we got home and he wasn't here.  They were definitely ready for him to come home the next morning.

We had a great couple days and daddy had lots of fun in Arizona and made some new friends.  The boys were SO happy to see daddy when we picked him up from the airport.
