Texas, Camping, and Utah!

The past few weeks have been crazy for the Syphus family! The kids and I travelled to El Paso, Texas to see Chris one weekend. It was Emma's first time to take a long car trip and she did great! Kaylee and Crew enjoyed the dvd player... the whole way... (I have almost all the Dora and Diego movies we own memorized now!) We were able to see Chris on his 31st birthday! I can't believe that he's already that age! It seems like just yesterday I met him in his prime of 23 years! That just means that I am getting old too, but we wont go there!

(just look at how hot he still is!! Love you baby!)


The weekend was great, minus the stomach flu Crew and I got. It's hard being away from Chris, and the kids really miss their daddy. He was able to come home last weekend, but that was the first time he had been home for a whole month! We are going to need to do something about this!
The following weekend from our Texas trip the kids and I drove out to Whitney Pockets. It was our annual Syphus Family camping trip, and we weren't going to miss it! Again, Emma's first camping experience and she did marvelous! I really wish I had more pictures, but my camera battery died.


I hardly saw Kaylee and Crew because they were off playing on those giant boulders in the background. They loved seeing all their cousins and aunts and uncles. We were only able to manage the camping trip with the help of the family, and we are so thankful for them all!
(See that tall mountain behind the big boulders? Yeah, Jesse, Laura and I hiked that!)
After camping for two nights we headed back to St. George. We only planned to stay a night or two, but had so much fun we ended up staying 5! While in St. George we went ice skating, out to dinner a few times, worked out several times, and I even got away with Becca to see a movie! We met with Grandma and Grandpa Syphus which was really special, and of course spent lots of time with family!
Chris has such an amazing family, and I know we are so blessed to be a part of it. I really love them all!

A camping trip in March? That's the coolest thing I've ever heard of. And you probably do it now because it's cooler in temp, right? Genius! That would be so hard having Chris gone that much. Call me anytime if you need some adult conversation! Miss ya cutie!
