More Utah and Jaxon's Change of Heart

Just wanted to get some more pictures posted of our trip. First off, my mind was completely gone when I was packing for this trip. Must have been all the packing up for our move right before we left. Needless to say, I forgot a LOT of things.
So, this picture is of Jaxon in his cousin's sleeper...cause mom forgot to bring his. Unfortunately, his cousin is a girl...and quite a bit older...and if you look closely, it's got a little ballerina on them. We got a laugh out of it. :o)
Best news of all is that Jaxon has had a change of heart about the water. He's turned into this little fish. As soon as he gets his swim wings on, he's ready to jump in and he wants to just paddle his way around. I'm sooooo glad that he's started to enjoy the water more. It has made our activities out here much more enjoyable. :o)
We also got a big surprise when we got to Provo. My parents decided to surprise us and made a quick trip out to Utah to spend time with all of us. It was so much fun to see Jaxon playing with his gung-gung.
It was so nice to have my parents take us out to some "real" Chinese food. :o) We went to a little restaurant that my family went to way back when we first lived in Salt Lake City more than 20 years ago called Ho Ho Gourmet. They're one of the few restaurants in Utah that serve dim sum, one of our favorite Chinese meals.
Something we have discovered this trip is Jaxon's absolute LOVE for being behind the wheel of the car. We went into a little arcade room at Cherry Hill while we were there and Jaxon got to play on one of those racing games with the steering wheel and absolutely loved it. Since then, it's been hard to tear him away from any steering wheel he sees.
While we were in Salt Lake, we decided to visit the Church history museum.
We tried to get Jaxon to dress up and we finally forced him into a little robe, but he complained the whole time.
It was fun to spend time with so much family and see the church sites again too. We still got a little while here in Utah and we're making the most of it! :o)

WHAT A SUPER SURPRISE! Seriously, so exciting to see your parents.

I absolutely LOVE the pictures at the Chinese place...I don't know--just seems so authentic and fun to see... :)

Do you guys have a pool at your new place? Sure hope so because Jax looks like he's a total waterbaby!

What an awesome trip! I love the action shot of Jaxon behind the wheel with his hand waving.

Looks like you're having lots of fun! That's awesome that you were able to spend some time with your parents! That's so nice that Jaxon likes to play in the water now--he is such a little cutie!
