Utah with the WIlkinsons

We were very happy that we got to go visit all of our family in April.  It was very nice for Drew to have some quality time with his siblings and parents between being stationed overseas.  We got lucky and had really nice weather the Saturday we were in Utah so we were able to take all of the Wilkinson cousins to the park so that they could run around and play.  The boys all had a great time playing and we had a lot of fun visiting with everyone. Alden's favorite part of the day was learning how to hit a baseball, and playing with any ball he could find, as you will see in the pictures.

Alden actually took this picture of me with no help. I don't know if I should consider that luck or talent...

Brendon loved hitting the baseball.

I love my little boy's smile!  So cute.

Alden digging through all the balls.

Alden, Drew, Kayla, Nathan and Matt had fun passing the soccer ball around.

I love this photo.

We had our picnic lunch at the park which was nice and relaxing.

Alden found the basket of balls...again.  I think that was his favorite thing at the park.

Alden was trying to figure out how to use my camera here.

We enjoyed some time inside the house when we got back from the park while we tried to have the kids have some quiet time...that didn't work very well for long.

Drew had a lot of fun playing with his nephews and being a jungle gym.

Alden was happy to be outside and playing!

That basketball hoop must be really low...

All of the "kids" enjoying their juice boxes.

Chalk time.

Magann did a great job of drawing the family picture this time!

All the kids ended up wanting the ukulele that Drew had.

I love how Drew ended up playing the ukulele with all the kids gathered around him.

Drew surprising his sister and then helping get silly string our of her hair.

Alden didn't nap so he had a few moments of meltdown.

Alden had a lot of fun taking pictures, even though his fingers still end up in half of them.

My beautiful sister-in-laws!

I think we were all a little worn out when we finally went inside again.

We definitely had a lot of food.

We had fun playing a couples version of the game of risk.

And of course, Nathan and Drew had to battle it out in arm wrestling to end the night.

Nathan won both sides and they were comparing forearms afterwards.

We had a great time with the Wilkinson clan and we are so grateful that we got the chance to see them and hang out with them! (Thanks to Magann Wilkinson for providing a lot of the photos)
