Utah Summer Trip 2009

It seems like every year that I've been away from home, I've been blessed to go back a few times during the year. This past week we went up and the kids and I stayed the week. We drove up for one of our BFF's daughter Bday Party (Kaedie's BFF, Rylee) for an awesome Firefighter Party. Her Uncle is a Firemen and it was such blast to visit the Fire House, see the truck up close, play in the hoses, and enjoy friends! It was awesome!

Troy returned back to Vegas and the lovely heat to work (Thanks, Daddy!) but we stayed to enjoy the cooler weather, our family and friends. We spent one day with some of our good friends at Thanksgiving Point Animal Farm. The kids loved it, especially Landon. I think his favorite animal was the little billy goats. They were able to ride real horses (so cute!) and just before their turn, my camera died. I hate that! My friend got some that I hope to get from her. It was so nice to hang out with them and enjoy the day.

The kids spent a lot of time outside on the lush green grass, running in the sprinklers, playing in their cousins kiddie pool, and visiting Grandma and Papa's neighborhood parks. We ate yummy foods, home made meals from my Mom, fresh veggies and fruits, and Kaedance enjoyed drinking water from the tap. One day, my Dad took the kids and I up Provo Canyon (I did that alot growing up there) Kaedance loved to see all the green trees, tall Mountains, and Waterfalls. It's such a pretty place that I miss. We stopped in a cute small town, Heber, for Ice Cream at the famous Dairy Keen home of the train that runs through the building. Landon and Kaedie loved that. It was a nice drive. Thanks Dad for taking us!

I was able to enjoy some much needed time with one of my BFF's shopping and chatting. We had a great time being together and going to yoga. Thanks again, Maeg! I had a blast and needed to have that time with you. I also spent time with another BFF and her daughter. I love them and wish we had more time to spend with them! One day, I saw a friend from School and her handsome son. It was so nice to see her and catch up over the past years that we've not seen eachother.

Thanks to my amazing parents that watched my kids so I could have some "me" time! The rest of our week was spent relaxing, laughing, shopping, watching movies with my little brother & Sis in Law, and loving on my nephew. It was so great to spend time with my family and friends even though, I would have liked more time to see more people and go more places. I'm so blessed to be able to travel home to visit and I truly miss Utah. I look forward to the next time we go home (not sure when...around the holidays) Thanks again Grandma and Papa for letting us crash your house for a week. :) It was a blast and I'm so glad to have gone. It's also nice to be back home.

Next adventure for us, Kindergarten! Stay Tuned for that!!
