Back in Ut: Family Visit & Vince's Blessing

The summer wrapped up well in Delaware, we enjoyed our time there and we expect we will go back next summer. Vince and I came back to Utah about a week before Dillon did so I could get some things done before I started teaching again. When Vince and I got to Utah my Mother and Father-in-law were at our place excited to meet Vincey for the first time!

Meeting Grandma Holm!
 We had about 5 days with Vince's Grandparents before some of the other Holm's joined us. Michelle, Tommy and Hannah drove out along with Casey and his kids: Andi Tanner and Piper. It was so much fun introducing Vince to everyone.

I could probably write a novel about the visit; it was so much fun and we had such a good time! But I'm going to let the pictures do the talking. I wish we lived closer to the Holms!

Vincey Boy in his Bumbo for the first time
Vince is getting big for it, but he likes his swing
Meeting Auntie Shell! (He's appropriately skeptical) 
The Holms got a condo in Park City for a week that we all packed into. It was close quarters, but that's what made it so fun! Vince was spoiled by his cousins!
Sorry Piper and Vince for this picture but I think it's too cute


We went up to Olympic Park ad got to watch the ski jumpers practice by jumping into the pool.
Feel the rhythm, Feel the rhyme...
Look at those muscles!
Piper absolutely dotted on her "friend, Baby Bince"
She didn't like holding him because he was "too heavy and his head is too big"

Family pool time!
Vince loved his Uncle Tommy (his favorite Uncle)
Kisses for Baby Bince
We tubed the Provo River which was more intense than I expected, but so much fun!
We all survived the trip down the river
Dillon and Tommy had good brother bonding time playing angry birds
Grandma Holm sure knows how to care of us all!
When we got back to Orem we set up Vince's new favorite toy!

Tommy took SUCH great care of Vince, insisting on bathing, dressing and changing him!

Good looking family!

I love my sisters-in-law!
