On our way out to a Family Reunion for my family in Colorado we got to stop for a day in Salt lake and see Lance's parents and two sisters there which was a lot of fun, and then got to stay at his brother's house in Colorado for 3 days before the Reunion. It was our first time visiting with them at their house and we had a blast! Can't wait to do it again. Lance soaked up the guy time with his only brother, and the girls and I soaked up lots of Girl time! Mia and Maddi thought riding in a "teenager's" car was just about the coolest thing ever, and I think we thoroughly wore Ashley and Chelsey out with all out with our little balls of energy.
Pretty Toes!
Aunt Karen fulfilled a life-long wish for these two when she invited them to get pedicures at a REAL nail salon. :) The felt very fancy the whole time!
All the Girls!
Lance and his brother woke up early one morning to take the girls on their first fishing trip. They didn't have much luck with the fish but caught quite a few crawdads.
Our little pile of kittens sleeing in the bed WE were supposed to sleep in. We found them like this on a few occasions during the trip...and snapped a few pictures BEFORE returning them to their sleeping bags on the floor. :)
Trying out some bull-riding!
The next day at Jump Street!
Arriving in Colorado...Ashley read the girls their bedtime story

Posing for pictures
After our first stop in Utah we discovered that Ella is a little Ham and was not shy at all performing for anyone who would watch her! I guess her and Mia have more in common than just their looks...:)
The older cousins taking the younger cousins to get an icy.
I think we have become the biggest wimps after living in California because we were SO hot in Utah AND Colorado. Ella was enjoying the shade and a smoothy with Grandma Nelson.
Trying out a ride at the 24th of July Carnival 
As soon as we got to Grandpa's house the girls went for ride in his cool new car!
Trying to get comfortable on day 2 driving to Salt Lake
Think it's time to retire blankie??
It just got better and better as the nap went on
We left our house at 5:30 in the evening right after Lance got off work and 15 minutes into the drive we turned around and saw Maddi like this....
Parenting Solutions from a 6 year old....Ella seemed to like it....hmmmm....maybe I should try this! hahaI put Mia in charge of Ella while I was finishing up the last minute packing/house cleaning and found them like this.
