Last minute trip to Utah



In the middle of our trip I found out that our friends were moving to Utah. It all happened while I was already there so I feel so blessed that I got to say goodbye to them while I was there. They have the cutest family! The little blonde one is theirs. They also have twins, a boy and girl that are the cutest! Too bad they were sleeping by the time we pulled out the camera:(

I Love you guys and miss you tons!



I went to Utah for a Family reunion on my Dads side of the family. I wasn't going to go until I got a call from my cousin Dawnya 5 days before hand seeing if I was going or not. After hearing her voice I couldn't say no. So I figured out the details and a couple days later I was on the road, just me and the four girls. We had SOOOO much FUN!!! Here is the trip in reverse order.



We ended the trip staying at my brother Dereks house. We had a blast. He took us to a family fun center and we got to do everything! Lazer tag, bumper boats, race cars, putt putt, bowling, eating, games, batting cages...that about killed our hands. The older girls got to go shopping at the mall with there cousins with out mom! That scared me a bit. But they are good shoppers and found amazing deals! I'm not ever good and remembering to take pictures so here's th few shots I got. I wish the cousins would have been in them:(





Temple square was beautiful. I don't even know how many brides we saw, which my girls loved seeing! I swear you would've thought the brides were celebraties by the way my girls reacted to them.



Here is Dawnya, one of the main reasons I made this trip. This girl is the best! She cracks me up and at the same time has such a strong testimony. I love her!!! I wish I could see her more often.







Kylie was more excited about seeing the Statue of Christ then anything else on our trip. She insisted on wearing a dress so she could take a picture in front of it. She remembers it from our last trip here when she was 8 and loves visiting temple square. I wish we would have had more then 2 hours there!







Here are some of my cousins and there kids...


My cousin played with my hair...different but fun! We spent a day at 7 peaks with my cousin and her family and another friend of mine Michelle, who lives right next door to the park. So, so fun!



The trip started at my Dads house. We stayed there a couple days and had fun at the reunion at Bear Lake. The trip lasted 10 days. It was soooo awesome. My girls were incredibly good on such a long ride together in the car.

That all looked like SO much fun! Road trips are the best! I did that 2 Summers ago, just me and the kids gone for 11 days, and it was SO much fun. It was maybe my most favorite trip ever because we just kind of did whatever we wanted, and visited whoever we wanted etc. I'm so glad you decided to go, even last minute!
