Trip to Missouri

Our little family spent the last week in Missouri visiting my parents where my dad is the Mission President. We had a Utah Star sighting while visiting. Can anyone guess the man on the left in the picture? The gentleman on the left is Duane Cardall, who has been on KSL 5 news for years as an anchor and the religion specialist. He and my dad were companions in Holland 40 years+ ago.I must say that they both have pretty great hair for being 63+.
My mom was nice and bought Cole a bunch of toys to play with while we were visiting. Unfortunately he found her exercise bands and free weights fascinating. He would crawl out of the room with the toys and plop down in the middle of the weights. It was funny.


Here is Cole crawling around pulling a 6 lb weight everywhere. I have to admit it did slow him down quite a bit.

The home they live in is nice. Most of the house has been updated except the master bath. This red tub is HUGE. The pic's don't do it justice. It is even up on a platform all alone. Cole loves it he could crawl all around.



Cole and my mom.
I left for a few minuets to find my mom teaching Cole how to crawl through a hoop. Why?.... I still don't know but I guess it is a good sign that he caught on faster than Bailey did.

I think you should teach him to say, "hey do you know where the weight room is?" as soon as he can talk. Also, I love that we are Tokyo, Tokyo on your visitor thingy...Hope you are well!

Looks like you had a great time, I'm sure your parents were dying to see Cole (and you too!). Its funny the strange people you meet in different states. Strange uncles and aunts maybe? That red tub is, well, its, indescribable. Why would you ever? Oh well, glad you made it back safe and sound. Now to get ready for the real vacation next month, eh?

I'm glad you got a visit in. My only question is why would you get rid of such an awesome bath tub??? Keep up the weights, he'll be the buffest baby ever.

That red tub is to die for!! It was so fun to see you today. I had such a great time. Thanks for letting us come visit, we need to plan more relaxing lunch dates like that.
