Blanding

So we took a little vacation to Blanding Utah this weekend where Kev's grandparents live. Kevin's parents and Annie and Justin were there as well! It was so nice to see family and luckily by Sunday, Erika was okay with other people holding her. We loved seeing family and Lynne and Tyler are coming this week tues-thurs!!! Erika loved telling her Great-Grandma Hawkins all kinds of stories and would just stare at Great-Grandpa Hawkins. There are 2 other babies that within 2 weeks of Erika and she loved watching them and playing with their toes :) On the way home we went through a dust/sand storm that was pretty crazy. Erika is so glad to be home and was the happiest and funniest we have seen her in a long time this morning. She was playing in her exersaucer and just laughing at the toys...she makes us laugh so much! She is getting better at sitting up and is so stinking cute. She giggles at herself all day and laughs a lot for Kev and me. Here are a few pics of our trip.

She is coming up with some funny faces!
She loves sitting on her daddy's shoulders.
Looking at Grandpa Hawkins again.
Yes, we were tourists coming home...there was crazy strong winds so it was so dusty and foggy looking.
I don't know if this will blow up big to see, but on the right edge of the Mexican Hat rock, there is a white dot...some crazy people were rock climbing. And yes Mike, I think you are crazy too :)

We totally went there in Oct or Nov of last year. LOL I love it. We went to Mexican hat & then the one death canyon or something like that???? it was cool. I don't really understand how the rocks just shoot out of the ground like that. a little crazy, but cool. Stuart Tippetts married a girl from blanding. Her mom used to own a flower shop???
