Utah - Impromptu Style

I was lucky to be able to fly out to Utah with Abraham to attend the funeral services for my Grandmother. It was unfortunate circumstances, but we were able to spend some time with my family and also with Ken's family. Abraham really enjoyed the time he spent with his grandparents and cousins. I'm going to break this up into a couple of posts so you aren't overwhelmed with pictures! Grandpa Carlile took a lot of these, so you might actually see some baby belly! I don't have a single picture of my pregnant belly with Abe (intentionally) and I was tempted to just get rid of these ones, but the memories are worth it, I guess.

Our flight was long (Raleigh to Phoenix to SLC) and Abe decided he wanted to puke everywhere while waiting to get on our plane in Phoenix. Lovely. Otherwise, he actually flew really well and I was proud of him.
Grandma and Grandpa Carlile took us to Cabella's one night. Abraham loved all the animals and I tried a bison burger for dinner.
Abe absolutely loved this swing. He didn't want to get off. I finally had to drag him away, kicking and screaming.


Aunt Kristy used this snake to distract Abe from his disappointment of having to leave the swing.

It was really fun to watch Abe get excited about all the animals. The polar bear was one of his favorites, but he was roaring and barking and making all sorts of animals sounds at all the animals we saw.

If it makes you feel any better I already saw a prego pic of you on Brenda's website. I don't know what you are worried about. You are cute pregnant. Me, I gained somewhere around 100 lbs. Okay not that bad, but close.

I would love to see more prego pictures, but like you I like to limit the amount of picts I'm in. But you do look great. I hope you are feeling well. It's good that you made it to the funeral and that you were able to spend time with family.

I agree, you are cute pregnant. It makes me feel in good company. I'm glad you got to come to UT. the D3 girls are going to get together for lunch in a couple weeks and we are sad you can't be there. Andrea is moving in May so we thought we should at least get together before she goes to TX. We will miss you. If you come out again and if you have time give me a ring or we should do like last time with everyone.

Wish I could have made it to hang out with you guys. Glad you made it home safely! Poor Abe, is he ever going to be better? Seems like he's been sick for a month!

What a cute pregnant lady you are! Glad you were able to go to the funeral. There is so much closure and peace that comes from being with family at such times. And again, you are so cute pregnant!

I had no idea you went to the zoo. Did you go after we left?
Glad you could spend some time with your inlaws

I'm glad you had fun with your in-laws. It was nice to see Abe (he is so cute!) Sorry about the throw up in the airport. Been there, done that, it sucks.

Looks like you had fun. It was nice to see you and Abe. What did Ken think about the hair?
