our time out west with family always goes by way too quickly. before we know it we're back in d.c. and missing everyone terribly. it's the one thing i really hate about living on the east coast... being so far away from family. but we enjoyed our time while we were there. especially eleanor. that little one sure loved being the center of attention for 7 days straight.

looks like a really great time!
lovely photos.
How fun.
Super beautiful family vacation. The In-N-Out looks so tasty & how cute is Eleanor on your old rocking horse?! Thanks for sharing :)
Eleanor is seriously one of the cutest babies I've ever seen!
If I were you, I'd smuggle that horse home to D.C. =) I remember having one of those too.

Ah, the beautiful red rocks of Southern Utah, and some In and Out burger to go with it. I would say you had a successful trip!

I love those red rocks in Ivins! Looks like a beautiful home too! Hooray for visits to Utah. They really do go to quickly.

Once again, love her little shorts. Isn't it the best when your old favorites become your child's favorite. Does my heart good!

She looks so BIG up on that horse! Anndd so jealous of that in n out!
Visitng family takes the cake! Its so much fun, but allways goes too fast! You and your sister are so pretty! Eleanor looks darling on your old rocking horse, and like shes having a blast!
ps-the view at their is goergous!
OMG the pictures of Eleanor and your mom and Eleanor and your brother one after another are THE most adorable pictures I've ever seen! The picture of her with your brother is hilarious :) Happy New Year!
Ohmigosh. When did you fly home????! I flew into the SLC airport on the second and I saw a baby that looked like Eleanor and I thought to myself, "Oh wouldn't that be cool if Rockstar Diaries was here too?" but I didn't think anything of it because you know, you're from DC. And then I saw this post and I laughed at myself. The end.
what a sweetheart Eleanor is! I'm so glad you had a nice visit. We are here in California so when I saw the picture of IN n Out and Tommy Burger, I thought for sure you were here is Ca. They I saw the Utah tag at the bottom :) Are you originally from the West Coast?

Looks like a lovely trip!

Gosh, there really isn't a cuter baby than Eleanor. Seriously. I can't wait to see how adorable Eleanor and baby #2 are together :)
We love Tommy's burger. We lived four blocks away so it was always a quick fix when we wanted yummy fries. Glad you had fun.

Your baby girl is so beautiful. And I'm quite jealous of the In-N-Out and the Tommy's Burger. Both were staples when I lived in Provo.
You family is perfect.
i sure wish i had a family to visit out west!
Oh what a great pictures! Such a beautiful family!
Is Josh from Jacksonville? Nice Bolles tee.
You and your sister look SO much alike! I had to do a double take! I'm glad you had a great and safe trip.
Now I want to go visit my sis in Utah AND eat a burger!
Looks like an amazing trip spent with family! Eleanor looks like she's really enjoying herself :] Such a happy and cute babe you've got yourself!

Utah looks gorgeous! Never had the pleasure to visit. Seems like the weather was quite nice as well. So cold in New York...
looks like your family lives close to my in-laws in ivins... those red mountains are so beautiful!
Wow. She's gotten so big. These pictures really show it. Sweet girl.

I love watching my son interact with family. He just relishes being the center of attention. And we wonder why growing up is so hard!? If only we could always be the center of attention while riding our red ponies! Ha!

She really is just the cutest child ever.

Oh i used to have a horse similar to yours. I think my parents still have it. I might have to call dibs on it before my brothers do. (although no of us have children yet). Wish we could have gone home to visit. Looks like a wonderful time had by all!

Precious and perfect.
When my grandmother moved, I asked her for the old wooden rocking horse that I used to ride on as a kid. It has rainbow yarn hair and I remember learning to braid on it. I love having those little keepsakes for when I have kids and they can play on it too.
I absolutely love these photos, especially the pool photo. Everyone looks so warm and golly. Cheers!

i've been reading your blog since the beginning (this is my first comment i believe). i'm not sure why that is! but, i just wanted to say you're very inspring, naomi. eleanor's face in the last two pictures put a smile on my face in an instant. she is adorable! :)
nice! i've also been following your blog for a bit and didn't realize you were from southern utah. i am as well, but on the eastern side (monticello). beautiful family!
I love the smile of your little eleanor makes me happy I don't know why.
The landscape seems amazing and the fast food meal seems...tasty ;)
That rocky view! Gorgeous... :)
Looks like you hit all the good burger joints.

simply wonderful pictures, beautiful family! thanks for sharing. hugs&kisses from Bucharest, Romania
what a lovely trip back to home. when we lived away, i always loved going home!
The one thing I hate about DC is that it is so far away from my family, too. You all look like you had a wonderful time! I am getting even more excited about going home in a few weeks....
And Eleanor on that horse!!!
These are wonderful! Seems like you guys had a great time. Utah looks so beautiful.
also that horse is so cute, so cool that you can share your old toys with her.
so lovely pictures !
love your blog <3

I just love little E's clothes!! I swear that I just wore a yellow sweater and red tights 3 days ago!! I hope I can find clothes for my future baby that are just like hers!
How fun! Eleanor looks so grown up on the last two pictures!

Is that your parent's backyard? I would miss it too. That is nothing short of an AMAZING view. Your folks are blessed. We don't have scenery like that in Houston!
I have that exact same rocking horse. THe red one with black paint. It was my dads way back when and we just gave it to my cousins who are four and almost two. When I showed my family this blog they were so surprised that someone else had the rocking horse!
