Next Stop, Utah!

This post is just part 1 of our travels after the reunion. So after the Bushman reunion we stopped in Kansas City for the night and stayed with our friends, the amazing Cunninghams! Annabelle and Jeff started throwing up that night so I was definitely worried about how the flight would go the next day. In the morning we flew to Utah to visit with some more family. Fortunately, there was no throwing up on the airplane and our traveling went pretty smoothly.

We stayed at my sister's house in Utah for a few weeks, and all of my family was able to gather there for a while. Annabelle loved playing with everyone. She went through a very fussy phase for a little bit and only wanted Jeff or I; probably because she still wasn't feeling well. She eventually got over that and then played with others more. Here she is giving her cousin "loves".


We recently discovered how much she enjoys sitting in little kid chairs.

Every time she sits down in a little chair she seems to be so pleased with herself.

My Mom grew up in Huntsville, UT. I absolutely loved visiting here every summer when I was younger. We went there for a day and rode some of the horses. My Mom comes from the McKay family and she grew up in the house next door to David O. McKay's house. I was able to walk with Jeff through his house which was neat to do.
Here's Annabelle riding the horse with Grandma.

Riding with Mama! She was hesitant at first but then she warmed up to the idea.

One of Jeff's secrets; he's afraid of horses.


There is a huge swing in the backyard of the rockhouse that has been around as long as I can remember. You can really fly on this thing. The rockhouse is the house my Mom grew up in. It is called the rockhouse because it was built with large rocks I don't know how long ago, but it's old. The original house is still intact but has had some renovations since. My Uncle and Aunt and their family now live there. It is a beautiful house. You can kind of see some of the bottom of it in the picture below this one.

We had a picnic in the backyard and played with some of the toys. She really liked this kiddy roller coaster.

She seriously poses for the camera.



My sister recently had an adorable baby girl. Annabelle sure liked playing in her bouncer.

The weather was beautiful for us while we were in Utah and we were able to enjoy playing outside a lot. Annabelle loved it!

Me and my two beautiful sisters; Katherine & Julia, and Julia's baby in the belly.

We were able to see my younger brother graduate! Annabelle was up way past her bedtime but she behaved pretty well.

Us and the amazing graduate! We love Keith! Annabelle was starting to really break down at this point.

Uncle Keith and Miss Annabelle! Jeff and I went to an amusement and water park one day with Keith and his girlfriend. It was a lot of fun but I felt like I was killing my brain on those roller coasters. Do I sound like an old person?

She loves to wrap things around her.

Annabelle didn't enjoy the sandbox as much as I thought she would. Tanner is digging away though.


Well that wraps it up for now. There is still more to come...
