Two Week Vacation

Tyler finally decided to use his paternity leave so we've been visiting family for the last 2 weeks.

First, we drove to Idaho and spent a couple days with Ty's family. Grandma Smith & Ryan:

Then Ty was scheduled to go to a recruiting event at BYU for his company so we packed up and headed down to Provo. My parents happened to be going to Utah for my dad's mission reunion so the entire Guest clan was able to hang out together for a few days:

Xander on a good day:


On Easter morning, we went to Uncle Bill's house to open Easter baskets with grandma and grandpa and the cousins. Xander found his Easter Monster Trucks first and didn't bother with the rest of his basket until several hours later (Tyler took him to a Monster Truck show a month or two ago and that's all he talks about):

Ryan enjoying her loot:

Still playing with the Monster Trucks:

A picture with G3 (Grandma and Grandpa Guest) and all 5 of their grandbabies. Xander took the opportunity to show off his Monster Trucks.

Grandpa and his 2 newest granddaughters:

After 5 days in Provo, we drove back up to Idaho to hang out with Ty's family for another week. Xander got into grandma's mascara (yes, you've seen similar pictures).

"No pictures, please.":



G&G Smith took Xander to a park with their puppy (and Xander spent a half an hour crying when they had to leave):

3 generations of Smith boys and not one of them had the decency to look at the camera or smile normal. Oh well.
