Last week we made a trip to Utah to visit the fam. We got to take our sweet rental car (thanks Careless Cellphone Talking Teenager Who Rearended Us) and we made it there in near record time. We visited Grandma Cathryn, hung out Josh and Royan, enjoyed Lyla and Olivia, hung out with Melissa and Justin, laughed and laughed, ate at Cafe Rio and Crown Burger, visited Grami Tami and Grandpa Terry (and Mel and Erika), and had a big family potluck with Grandma Cathryn's side of the family. We even got to see the Romneys and 6/7ths of the Utah Seeleys (we're still cursing the Colbie Caillat concert that kept the other 1/7th of them away). I finally got to visit with my BFF since 8th grade (or was it 9th??) Amy Lynn and remember how lucky I am and how funny and beautiful she is and how amazing her sweet daughter is. It was almost too much adventure to even summarize. The kids had SO much fun. Since we got home, they've asked me at least 57 times a day when we're going back to Utah. So fun (but we missed you Abbie!!!).
We stayed with Josh and Royan, in Josh's sweet new townhome. Cooking in the ultimate bachelor pad was awesome. :) Anyone ever make pasta in a wok? I have now! 
One of the few times that Milo held Lyla. He prefers to hold Olivia because, as he said, "That one (Lyla) drills on me too much." Could you guess that Lyla is teething?
Oh, sweet joy. Real live babies, so many aunties, a variety of miniature furniture, and a magnificent tea set. Grami Tami's house is always a big hit.
Yes, that is a wading pool. Yes, those are nets. Yes, there are approximately 30 goldfish in there. Er, make that, there WERE approximately 30 goldfish in there. Thanks Ali. Explaining why dogs eat pet fish is not an easy task. LOL
Isabel's recipe for a good vacation: babies. Milo's recipe: Royan. A sucker or two from Uncle Josh just sweetens the deal.

Many of those fish are STILL alive! We loved having you here. The tea set and small furniture are still right where Issy left them and all the books we read are still hanging round.
I loved that visit. Thanks for coming.
So, you miss Abbie and Stacy, huh? Um...hello? Didn't you also miss 6/6ths of the AZ Seeleys? I feel slighted.
What a dream vacation for Issy and Milo! :) The pressure is on to come up with some super fun activities so that Issy and Milo don't want to ever leave us again. Ok, at least for long periods of time. :) Hmmm... maybe something involving magic tricks,and fire? ...
