We went to visit our great friends The Lossers and The Downings in Utah this past weekend. It was a short but sweet trip! It was so good to see old friends and introduce them to you as well as meet The Lossers' newest addition, Baby Preston. Baby Preston is so incredibly adorable-what a happy baby! He is the only baby I have ever met that talks as much as you do! At dinner the first night you met two met you guys had quite a little chat- it was adorable! The Lossers' 3.5 year old daughter, Berkley is such a sweetheart! She can be shy in front of people she doesn't know well, so we worried we would go the whole weekend without hearing her talk, but thankfully we heard a few words the last evening there! She was such a sweet girl to Asher when he was crying. She kept bringing him toy after toy to try and cheer him up!
We really loved seeing Utah friends and the gorgeous scenery there. Your daddy and I drove you to see Park City and showed you where lived when we were first married. The air was cool, but the sun was bright in the cloudless blue sky, just like when we lived there.
You were quite a trooper on this trip considering that you missed quite a few naps and went to bed extra late each night. The plane ride was definitely more challenging than the other flights we've taken with you. You wanted to be on the ground crawling around, which of course we couldn't let you do. Entertaining you was kind of exhausting! :) We were happy to land in SLC and happy to land in SEA when we got home!
A highlight of the trip was that the rental car cars eat only allowed for forward facing for your weight. We guiltily allowed you to forward face and definitely enjoyed seeing your sweet face when we turned around to look at you. You mostly took your socks off and amused us by eating your toes! We thought you'd never want to rear face when you got home, but interestingly I think you prefer it or are at least used to it. You were much quieter once you got back home to your own car seat! :)
One of our favorite memories from the trip was when we took you swimming at the hotel pool. There was a birthday party for group of twelve year old girls in the pool and when they saw you they went wild! They all gathered around you squealing and you didn't let them down with your flirting! You were all smiles and shy glances and laughs. It was hilarious and definitely something we'll never forget! Even the birthday girl's mom had her video camera out to capture the moment.
