We made it back from Utah.

And the flights were honestly not too horrible. I'm becoming a pro at this whole "flying alone with two kids" thing. I've learned to play on the pity of people around me in the airport and on the plane to get help lifting things, getting all of our crap through the security, getting on the plane itself, and having flight attendants watch the kids so I can go the bathroom. Anyways, we had a lot of fun in Utah and especially had a good time getting to see Matt's parents. They spoiled us rotten and Hallie especially loved every minute of it. Here are my two favorite Hallie quotes from while we were in Utah:
Me: I need to go take a shower
Hallie: WHy?
Me: Because I stink.
Hallie: (looking VERY confused) Did YOU poop?

While we were driving around Hallie was being mean to Chase and I yelled at her from the front seat to knock it off. She's been watching a lot of Mulan lately, so she dropped her head and said, "I will NEVER bring my family honor!"
She's pretty much crazy. I love her.

Hallie got to go with Matt's sister Katie to ride her horse. She was in horsey HEAVEN.
