Our Easter Vacation

Last week we took a wonderful trip to Utah so Tyler could test for paramedic school and so we could attend our cousin Jeremy's wedding. It was a great week! Here are the highlights...

- 5 minutes into the trip (literally) Alex started throwing up over and over and over again. We stopped at a gas station and the wonderful Tyler cleaned her and the brand new car seat up while wearing rubber gloves. In retrospect, it was pretty funny. We made it 2 hours before she threw up again and ended up staying the night in a very crowded and seedy motel. We decided it was part car sick and part reaction to the MMR shot.

- The Easter egg hunt set up by the grandparents in which a very excited Ben (and Archie) found pretty much all the eggs except the surprise one with a note telling the finder that they would be changing all the babies diapers for the rest of the day. Yep, I found that one.

- Brazilian Lemonade 3 times.

- Geocaching with Kate and Kara!!!!! We found 6 caches out of 8 (and I'm pretty sure the other 2 had been stolen. )

- Cafe Rio

- The awesome deep fryer that the siblings in law got me for my birthday/ and zester.

- The wedding, delicious Lion House food and fun temple square walking afterwards.

- Games and Games galore

-Alex finally eating meals!!!!

-Having someone to watch LOST with

- The surprise water fight after a game of relay chalk charades outside that left Kate and I pretty soaked after the boys teamed up and turned on us. Of all the Brady water fights (and there have been oh so many) this was by far my favorite. Alex even got wet.

-Alex sleeping through the night!

-Seeing my brothers and them seeing Alex

We packed so much into that week that I'm sure I've left things out, but yes it was a fantastic vacation.

(I just love these pictures. Archie has become such a happy smiley baby and his laugh is just so cute! Although they are 8 months apart, Alex is a bit small and Archie is a bit big, and so they are pretty much the same size. It's so cute.)
