Prepare for picture overload. I love holidays! I especially love going to Saint George. Eric and my parents both have houses down there, so we have gone every year. We were able to go down for an entire week. Well I was always going to go down that long, but Eric was able to take time off of work so he was there the entire time! Yay for extra help!


 One of the projects this year was putting rocks in the flower beds. Q was in rock heaven and was climbing on the pile all the time.

 We stay at my parents house when we go, and this year they bought a wagon.... and gave everyone a selfie stick.


 The have a waterfall in the neighborhood that we walked to just so Q could throw rocks in it. Maybe I should just get him rocks for Christmas
 At Erics parents/Grandparents house he loved hiding behind this plant. Every time we went over. He would jump out and scare you. Or giggle incessantly while you looked for him.
 Pre Thanksgiving dinner. I thought the plates were adorable!!
 Q and Ellie having lunch together. They will best friends.
 Q learning to take a selfie. I am only teaching him the important things.
 Grandma Corbett and Audrey selfie.
 Q and mom Selfie
 Most Q and Ellie selfies. Audrey on Grandmas lap.
 One of the days we decided to drive up to snow. Because why not?
 It was SOOOOOOOO COLD! The wind was so high they closed the skiing resort.
 Also because it was so cold the snow was more like a hard rock of snow.
 Quick selfie before we all ran back inside the car. Eric, Q, Donald, Emma, Ellie and Me. Audrey was asleep in the car.
 SO COLD!
 More selfies.

 Like I said, hard rock of Ice.
 Back in the car trying to get warm.
 My parents bought Q a ricochett car in the San Jose house, and had another one delievered to the Saint George house. He LOVES this thing! His favorite is when it drives up someones leg.
 A boy and his Grandpa Corbett. So much love!
 The day finally came that the rock pile had to go away. Q had his own little shovel to help.
 Every time I see this photo I want to start singing "I ho, I ho, its off to work I go"
 Q's little Thanksgiving table. He decorated it with the pomegrante himself.
 After Thanksgiving we all made pies. I made a Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake. IT WAS AMAZING! It is so easy to make! I just need a reason to make it! Guess I need to go to more parties. Or start throwing them myself.
 These were all the pies. Not enough people to help eat them!
 I love when he falls asleep in the car like this. It is just so funny. Sadly the trip had to  come to an end. Sometimes I wish we could live in Saint George. I love my cousins and family that are down there and its so fun to spend time with them. But then I fly into Seattle and see all the beautiful lakes and green trees and I remember I would miss this too much.
At the Las Vegas Airport he decided he wanted to join a different family. This mom was reading a Frozen book to her daughter and he thought it was amazing. Silly kid.
I cant believe I am actually going to blog about something that just happened! It seems I am usually a month or 2 late.

Both families spend Thanksgiving in St. George. We love it! I went early to hang out with my family since they were getting there before Erics. We had so much fun! As a warning this is photo overload.
 We had an early morning flight. He loved the fish on the floor. We walked around and found all of them. Did you know some of the fish have luggage?
 Q was in heaven! He loved watching all the trucks and airplanes!
 He had to show his little monkey Pete.
 Q is such a cute cousin. Sadly Ellie isn't old enough to enjoy all the sharing Q does. Ellie was on the floor and Q came over to share his cereal. We had turned out backs for 2 seconds and next thing I see Ellie has Cherrios all over her face, and in her hair. Some had made it to her mouth. Luckily she didn't swallow any. But he still thought she would enjoy them!
 Grandpa had gone to the store to buy the Lightening McQueen chair for Q, but all he wanted to do was cuddle with Grandpa!
 That afternoon we went and hiked Snow Canyon with my Uncle Jon and my cousin J.
 One of my favorite pictures!
 It was SOO windy! Q was worried he would get blown off Grandpa.
 My Aunt and Uncle have 3 dogs, and Q kept trying to go in the doggie door. He is trying to get their attention.
 Now he is instructing them how to use the door.

 My piano had to be tuned and fixed while we were there. I have never seen a piano taken apart! Its so beautiful!
 We were saying a prayer, and I couldn't help capture this sweet moment with Q and my mom. This is how he always prays. One arm folded the other.
 We also threw my cousin a baby shower! She is having a little girl and we had the best shower! Look how cute the cupcakes are!

 We made her a basket of all our favorite baby items!
 Thanksgiving we were at my parents house.
 My mom made her world famous rolls! They were to die for as usual.
 Our Turkey.
 With Eric's family we went and hiked Dixie Rock. Prepare yourself for some cute pictures!



 He didn't want any help climbing rocks or walking around. There were some steep cliffs so we were all a little worried. But he wanted to do it alone.




He kept calling for the water.
Our flight home was at 1035 PM. It was 45 minutes delayed. We didn't end up getting home till 3:30am. SO early!!  But we were so sad to leave! If only we could have stayed longer. We are already planning a trip when Eric is on Spring Break.
