backpost #4: trips and stuff in between

After spending some time with Monica and the boys, I headed down to Utah and New Mexico to visit family. It was really great to see Grandpa and Grandma Cannariato, Gina and Kara, mission friends, Jake, Nicole, and baby Noah, Becky, and Grandma Hayes. General Conference was fabulous and hit on so many things I needed to hear.

 

When I got back after my week of lots of visiting and driving, I was able to spend Easter with the family and then headed to Rexburg and Utah to pick up Alexis' stuff as well as Eliza and her stuff. Needless to say, it was a tight trip!--Liz literally had no room to move and rode with her fish in her hands the whole way. She was a trooper and so was the fish, may it rest in peace.

The next picture probably deserves some explanation...Becky's fob stopped working and her only door with a lock was broken. So this was our attempt to break in ourselves. Yeah, we're great crooks.

Last but not least, I thought I'd showcase Dawn's spectacular cake decorating talents for Becca's birthday. Remember the days when cool birthday cakes were everything on a birthday? Bec still gets to live the glory days...
