We got to meet new cousin Jeffrey. 11 pounds, 5 ounces at birth. Here he is only 5 days old.
And big brother Alex showing off his cool room and basketball skills.
Matt, Josh, and Alex share a cheesy moment.
Alli and Jeff (and his monkey)
Josh and Jeff
Matt and Jeff
Shawna loves Jeff.
Jeff saying hi.
We took the train downtown.
Posing with a handcart in the Visitors Center.
The boys walking together.
More Visitor Center moments. It took all of us to keep track of Alex. He has so much energy.
Hanging out by the fountain.
Inside the J.S. center overlooking the Salt Lake temple
On the steps of the temple, we paused for a family + 1 photo.
And the Banda family by the reflection pool.
On top of the conference center
Matt had a conversation with Jesus.
Josh needed a talk too.
Josh and Alex were best buds all week.
We rented a house. This was the media room. Also made for a good wrestling room.
We went to Lagoon theme park for two days. Josh did his best to scrunch down a few inches and ride the kiddie rides with Alex.
This was before the big tube ride. Notice that we are dry.
Before the big splash.
After the tube (all wet) and ready for the log ride.
On board the pirate ship, ready to rock.
Alli was determined to ride all the scary rides. The swing was tame.
The train ride is always a favorite, especially for Alex.
Alex was so excited to ride the bumper cars for the first time.
Getting ready to get wet....again.
Another kiddie ride.... this time as a pilot.
Josh had to literally pour himself into the car, but they had a great time!
Mousetrap, anyone?
Shawna and ying-yang. We just had to take a picture!
Getting ready for mousetrap. Josh's favorite ride.
Josh was too big for the boat, but Alex loved it!
Steve and Josh rode the bat ride. They had shoulder harnesses, but their legs hung loose.
The sea odyssey was another favorite.
Alex told Alli to keep him safe on this one, and as dry as possible.
Jeff was awake and was waving hello.
This was outside our rental house. It had a basketball hoop and lots of toys to play with.
Jeff was great. And Amber was amazing. She was out and about within days of having Jeff.
Just chilling in the sun.
Alli and Alex made a chalk train picture together.
Farewell dinner at Red Robin.
It was hard to say goodbye. We just had so much fun together!
My Alex.
Getting ready to leave the rental house... we just had to take a picture.
Happy 15th Alli!
Alli and her almost clone....Katie.
Rebeccah made Alli a hat.
Happy 9th birthday Josh.
Josh and his birthday crew
Woohoo!
Josh started grid kids football....and loved it.
