Do you have cruise control??? . . . Use IT!!!!

So we went to Utah last weekend to see my cute pregnant sister, Annette (and her husband, Neal) and my grandma Bingham, who isn't doing so great!  It was a wonderful trip and so much fun!  It was too fast though!  Ryan's little sister came with us so it was a lot of fun.  Elyse and I picked Ryan up from work on Thursday night and we drove to Vegas and had gotten a room on Priceline.  Then we left early the next morning and took a little detour around Ryan's mission stomping grounds!  A lot of the families had moved so we didn't stop to see anyone!  When we were almost to Nephi, Ryan got pulled over for going 90 in a 75 zone!  Funny thing was that he had been pulled over in that same area almost 2 years ago.  The officer was very upfront with Ryan about it and told him he was going to get a ticket.  So the officer wrote him up for 10 over so we didn't have to pay the higher ticket.  So the officer then looked in our car and said, "You have cruise control on this thing!  I suggest using it!"  This officer was so much nicer to Ryan than the last one!  That night (Friday) we went to Ryan's mission reunion.  Ryan had a lot of fun talking to old mission buddies and I had fun trying to get Kayden to fall asleep!  We then went to Annette and Neal's house and stayed with them and there dog, Oakley!  She is an amazing dog.  I didn't know a dog could be trained so well!  The next day we saw Cameron, my dad, and my grandma and aunts that were at my grandma's house.  Annette and Neal were amazing hosts and hostesses!  They made amazing food and I ate way too much!  Then on Sunday morning we came home.  Kayden stayed in his carseat from Layton to Kanab.  We took him out in Kanab for almost 20 minutes, because he was so excited to be out of his carseat!  It was so cute!  We made the trip on Sunday in about 12 hours!  Not bad for having a baby with us.  He had so stinky gas though and was really tempting us to keep the windows down!  HE STUNK SO BAD!
This is Kayden in his Hawaiian outfit that I thought was so cute!
This is my dad with Kayden!  Kayden liked his wheelchair!  Funny story . . . when we were headed to see my dad, my little brother was with us, and his phone rang and he kept saying, "Okay, we are one our way . . . Okay we will hurry dad . . ."  Anyway, Cameron got off the phone and said my dad had fallen out of his wheelchair and couldn't get up.  So when we got to my dad's Ryan and Cameron hurried in to help my dad and he had fallen asleep on the floor.  So they woke him up and picked him up (which is not an easy task . . . I am just glad Ryan was there to help Cameron).  So the picked him up and I asked how he had fallen out of his wheelchair and he said he had fallen asleep and when his head bobbed it bobbed forward too far and he couldn't stop from falling.  Moral of the story . . . wear a seat belt . . . even in a wheelchair!
This is the cutest Grandma in the whole world.  She was so happy to have us there!  Kayden would just sit there and smile at her.  She thinks that he is the only baby who would smile at an old lady like she is.  She makes me so happy.  She hasn't been feeling that great!  So I am glad that Kayden got to meet her!  He doesn't know how lucky he is to have meet his great-grandma Bingham!
KAYDEN LOVES CARROTS!!!  You can't tell, though, can you!
Kayden loves his dad!  This was the other morning before Ryan went to work!  Ryan just adores Kayden.  It is the most precious thing to see when Kayden sees his dad after he gets off work!  Kayden would rather see his dad than me after work!
Kayden loves the washcloth now to suck the water out of!  It grosses me out so I don't let him do it very often!
This is my amazing nephew, Micajah! He has a love of soccer and would play it 24/7 if his parents allowed that! In this particular game, Micajah scored 3 goals. They lost the game 5 to 3. He was the only one to score! Kia . . . you are amazing! I love you buddy!
