Spoiled, in a good way

We've been traveling to Utah about once a month lately and I feel completely spoiled by all the quality family time I've gotten. I haven't seen my sibs and parents so frequently since I lived in Utah (about 7 years now). Although the long drive isn't my favorite part, we've gotten super sleek at packing and sleeping in a different bed all the time. In fact sometimes I can't wait until we travel again because it breaks up some of the days that we spend trying to think of interesting, free things to do at home.
This last weekend I got to take my little family to my favorite place on earth. We went to my parents' cabin in the Uintahs. Hiking, relaxing, breathing fresh air, and eating yummy food. That's what it's all about.
I also got the last minute opportunity to go to the women's conference at the conference center with my sister-in-law. It was amazing, of course. I hadn't been to a meeting there for many years and I had forgotten how cool it is to look out over the thousands of people and then look at the Prophet and Apostles. Salt Lake is cool like that.
We also got to see my newest niece blessed. Piper is the tiniest, yummiest, cutest little baby girl ever. After some clever maneuvering, I got some one-on-one aunt time with her. We're pretty much best friends now.I'm glad my kids are getting time with their grandparents. Ben is completely opposed to any pictures right now so most of the time I point the camera at him, he goes nuts. These are the only two pics I got with their Grandmas and I have to laugh that in both, Ben is going beserk.

Some other highlights: Afton finding cowgirl gear and asking us to take pictures. My mother-in-law helping me can a ton of peaches. Good times!
