Home at last!

Donovan and I made it home this afternoon! We were definitely ready to see Bradley, we really missed him.

We had a really fun trip! I will try to keep the commentary short.

Donovan loved cleaning his Grandma Mindy's house. He also loved threatening the dogs with the broom.
Donovan loves his Grandparents! He was so good with all of them. I was actually pretty surprised at how fast he took to his great grandparents. We spent a few days in Cedar City and were able to see both sets of my grandparents.
Donovan loved playing outside at both my grandparent's houses.Donovan with my cousin's little boy Hayden. They are so cute.
Donovan was in the way of the big kids playing "horse". He insisted on playing around them with his own basketball. I love how he stepped over the weeds in this picture.
Aunt Brenda and my mommy.
Donovan, Emma (I think, sorry if I'm wrong), and Hayden. Emma is Hayden's half sister.
Donovan with Great Grandma and Grandpa Newville.
Great Grandma Goodman gave Donovan an ice cream cone.Donovan and Great Grandpa Goodman. Donovan loved reading magazines while Grandpa did his crossword puzzles.
We went to see Kim and Steven's baby in St. George one day and decided to play at the park while we waited for them to get home. This park was so awesome. They have a lot of fun park equipment as well as these awesome fountains. Donovan had a blast! I wish we had something like this close by us.

Donovan loved playing at his Great Grandma and Grandpa Goodman's house. They have a really big yard and a garden area that hasn't been planted so he ran around and played in dirt.
He also loved playing on the lawn mower.


Donovan loves being outside (did you notice?).
We went to the Sandy aquarium with my best friend Jessica, her little boy Heath, and her adorable sister Alexa. They had a lot of fun, even though Donovan got a short nap.


We went up to Tibble Fork reservoir with my cousin Annie and her little boys, Logan and Damon. The boys had a lot of fun playing in the water and had fun running around after we ate. They are both such cute boys.
Adorable Colin at Rachel and Kaylee's soccer games.
Donovan kicking a ball at the games.
We went to Discovery Gateway with Kirsta and Colin one day. Donovan loved it!
Cute boys! Donovan loved the balls.
He really didn't care for the helicopter.
We went swimming one day with Jessica and Heath. Donovan had so much fun, but he fell asleep in the car shortly after we left.


We got to see Coach Ginn at Katie's reception. He was the assistant at IWCC when Bradley and I played. Donovan liked hanging with Ginn for a few minutes.
It was nice to have toys for the kids to play with at the reception. Donovan had a lot of fun.
Me, Katie, and her new husband Sam. Katie looked so beautiful! Congrats guys!
We spent Saturday and Sunday with the Silvey's. John and Debbie Hanks were in town so we went to dinner at Joe Bandito's where Donovan enjoyed chips and spicy salsa, onions, red pepper, and a tortilla. He is such a weird eater. The spicy salsa didn't even phase him, he loved it. When we got back, the sprinklers were on, so he jumped right in!He was SOAKED!
On Sunday, I guess Donovan really wanted to wear Scott's Mickey Mouse tie, so Scott let him.
Donovan even got to play with Colin.
Yesterday, I went golfing with ShayLea. She started golfing because one of her friends convinced her to try out last year. She went to all of the tournaments and even qualified to go to State. I was impressed with her skill!
ShayLea used to be really annoying when she was little, so I wasn't the nicest sister. I'm glad that she's not annoying anymore, I actually really enjoyed spending some time with just the two of us. I love my little sister!
Donovan and Rocky finally made peace before we left.
Sorry if we didn't get to see you during our trip! Brad wants to go out some time in July so we will be back soon!

Looks like tons of fun. I've never been real golfing before—just putt putt and I sucked. I wish I could have seen Donovan in the sprinklers. The pictures make me want to turn mine on and go out myself. I hope you guys really do come in July! It will be fun to see you again and see Brad this time!

We sure had a good time, despite Cheerios on the floor most of the time. :) We kinda miss the little booger, and I think the dogs do, too...
