Trip to Utah (Part 1)

We drove up to Utah at the beginning of August to spend time with the Church's. I was really nervous about the drive up but Payton did really well in the car. We had to stop to get gas after being on the road for only 2 1/2 hours, which was a mistake, but she got over it pretty fast. I thought this was a really good picture of the 2 of them!
The reason that Payton did so well in the car is because of the new DVD player we bought. It is awesome & honestly I do not think that we could have done the trip with out it. Well actually we could have of coarse but...
She has this thing were she wants to have 'Beeee' & 'Pooooh' watch with her. I don't think that it is very comfortable but that is how she was for more than 1/2 of the time.
We saw JD & Jamie the first day we were there. Payton didn't sleep that day & she fell asleep about 10 minutes before we got to their apartment. When I was getting her out of the car I hit her head on the door & nothing, didn't even wake up! So we let her sleep for an hour & wanted to go out to eat. In hind sight we should have just let her sleep & brought dinner back but we didn't. She cried the whole way there. It wasn't just the regular whining cry it was the dry heaving cry that JD apparently has yet to experience... yet b/c they are expecting in February & since it will be a girl (fingers crossed) there will be lots of dramatics on the way. ;)

She was fine as soon as we were in public & we ate dinner in semi peace (as peaceful as a dinner can be in a restaurant with a 2 1/2 yr old). Payton would not give JD the time of day the whole time. When we got back JD had to go play a softball game & almost immediately after he left this was the scene.
JD it's not that she doesn't like you... she just likes Jamie more!
It wasn't until this trip that I really noticed... Payton loves her babies! When we take a picture of her she wants us to take a picture of her babies too. I'm just grateful for digital cameras so that I can just delete them!
