Family Time


One of the days we were there, Maia got to hang out with Aunt Brit and her Cousin James. It was a lot of fun to see the two of them interact. There is an 8 month difference between them and at this age it really shows but it was still fun to see them together. Here are some pictures from that time:






He wasn't to happy that his momma left.





Me playing around with the color feature on my camera.



The basement was a little cold so to keep Maia warm, I would put her in a sleeper to take her naps.


James trying to give Maia a hug.
They were so happy in the car together!


Maia with a little attitude. :)

Utah

After the wedding the plan was to head down to Utah and spend some time with Sean's side of the family. Cory and Shannon were going to take me to Snowville but Cory came down with food poisoning and was restricted to his house. So Shannon was super nice and drove us to Snowville to meet up with Kathy my mother in law. 

Maia thought it would be cool to start standing and she really wanted to play with her diapers.

We made a quick stop by the Brigham City temple. It had been finished and dedicated and it was wonderful to actually see it up close. Sean and I had been looking for it every time we drove through Brigham City and it is a beautiful house of the Lord.

Maia and Grandma hit it off right from the beginning! 
Our little cheeser, playing with her blocks.

Hanging out with Grandpa and telling him quite the story.


Maia loved her time with Aunt Brit!
Lots of loves for Maia!

A piano lesson or two.

She's a natural!

Maia had a lot of pictures taken of her and lots of aunty time!

While we were there we were able to drive by the old Tabernacle, soon to be temple, and see all the work they are doing on it.
It is quite the engineering feet. If you want to learn more about it here's a good article.
We went to pick up Great Grandma Gottfredson and go out to lunch with her. Maia had fallen asleep on our way so we took her into restaurant in her car seat. She ended up waking up about half way through our meal. 

We then went back to Grandma G's to help her clean her walls and get the cobweb out of the corner.s
Maia had a good time just hanging out on Grandma's floor.


Back at Gma and Gpa Dahlin's house.

A little breather...

Once the open house was done, it was time to breath! We all took some time to enjoy each others company and relax a little. The hard part was over.

Great Grandpa and Maia. This is one of my FAVORITE pictures of the two of them!


She really liked to push grandpa's buttons!

And Pull uncle Ben's hair...

More Grandpa and Maia time....


and back to the buttons she went.

Patty Cake time with Grandma...



And playing on the air mattress and you can't tell but she was laughing up a storm. 



On Sunday after dinner, Cory and Shannon, took me back to there new house to spend the night. We left Baker to start our trip down to Utah. This is Maia hanging out on the air mattress right before going to sleep. she was pretty smiley for being so tired. We enjoyed our short time there and are grateful for their hospitality!
