We went on tour!

We finally decided that it was time to get out of Logan for the weekend, and visit family that hadn't seen Alexa, or hadn't seen her since she was born..and though it was tiring for all of us..we definitely had a great time!

First we went to Layton to have lunch with Justin and Jenny and their two cute kids! We went to Olive Garden, my favorite place! Then after that went over to their house and hung out for a bit! We love going over there because Chayse has such a great time with Taylor and Kai, and of course I love spending time with my sister in law. Justin and Brandon played upstairs with the boys and us girls hung out downstairs and had our girl talk! Hopefully we can all get together again soon! We had lots of fun!

Then we headed off to South Jordan to visit Brandon's grandparents! They were so excited to finally get to meet little Alexa! She is Great Grandchild #36!!! We love going to visit them. They are the sweetest people and have such loving hearts! They are such a great example of marriage to us! Grandpa always tells us how important it is to not argue in your marriage, and that he and Grandma to this day have never had an argument. He tells us that every night when they go to bed, they hold hands. How cute is that? I am great for their example and only hope we can try and emulate what they teach!

After that, we headed to my dad's house in Sandy. We had only planned on visiting for a few hours then heading home, but it had started snowing while we were at Brandon's grandparents house, so we decided to stay the night. Me being the worry wart that I am, was sure we were going to slide off the roads and die..so I wasnt going to risk it, though we probably would have been fine. ( I tend to have really bad anxiety when it comes to traveling, and it has gotten worse since having Chayse, and even worse when we had Alexa.) So anway, Brandon had luckily packed extra diapers and I had my emergency outfit for Alexa..so at least she was prepared to stay the night! :) It was lots of fun! We had yummy Chinese food, watched Surfs Up and Chayse had so much fun playing with his Grandpa! In the morning we got up, ate waffles and got ready to go. While we were getting ready, my dad was in charge of entertaining Chayse..and he totally fulfilled his job! My dad has a waterbed and wont get rid of the old thing because he LOVES it! Well Chayse had so much fun playing on it..that my dad decided to make Chayse a mini version. He took a zip lock and filled it with water, then put a paper towel over it and then they tucked Woody and Buzz Lightyear in with a kleenex..and let me just say..Chayse LOVED his little waterbed! He always has so much fun with my dad, he hates to leave when it comes time!

Grandpa sure loves his little granddaughter!

Then we came home to Logan, and were so glad to be home back in our element! We just hung out and relaxed for a couple hours and then headed over for Sunday dinner at Brandon's parent's house! It was fun because after dinner, Brandon's cousin and her husband and baby, Bryant came to visit! We haven't seen them for almost a year! So it was fun to see how much their little one has grown and see what they have been up to!

So all in all we got to see lots of family and had a great weekend! Our next adventure... We are headed to Boise in a couple weeks so our friends and family there can meet lil Alexa!
