Labor Day Holiday...Literally





Last weekend we got a call that our sister in law was having her baby a couple of weeks earlier than anticipated. Sooo...we hopped in the car and took off to Birmingham to see the Derrik Marshall clan and it's newest member, Gavin Taft Marshall...SOOOOOO CUTE and little and sweet! We stayed all weekend and had an absolute blast doing nothing but swim, eat, sleep, and hold that adorable little boy. (And maybe a little cooking for the new parents too) We had to exile Ava because she had the sniffles..."Sorry Ava!" Although she was bummed because she couldn't hold the baby (YIKES!), she was even more upset that she couldn't play with "Unca Dessik" (translation: Uncle Derrik).
This trip held a lot of firsts for us. Ava learned how to swim solo for the first time (and she was an absolute mad women demanding that we not put our hands out for her), Fiona's first time in the swimming pool (not planned...She is actually wearing one of Ava's swimming suits that we coerced into staying on her...so luscious, look at those thighs!) and first time to Birmingham (Although definitely not the last...can't stay away from that cute little Gavin). We are thrilled to have Derrik and Cyd so close now and already have plans to harness our inner Ricky Bobby at the Talladega Superspeedway. Caution all Utah friends and family, risk of turning redneck is extremely high!
All in all, Great Labor Day holiday!...get it, "labor" day.
