Vacay

Well, the weather took a turn for the worse last week during my family's visit.  Mother Nature was once again confused as to what season she wanted to be experiencing. 

Luckily we only spent a day and a half up here in all the crazy, snowy weather.  Most of the trip, my family was down in sunny St. George. 

We forgot cameras, SD cards, and batteries, swam as much as possible, and had our first sno cones of the season!

Most memorable part of the trip?  When Matt ate his weight in cottage cheese at Tucanos.  Not a joke.

As always, enjoy the picture selection:

 in Zion

 hotel sponsored Easter egg hunt

 Snow Canyon down in St. George

And those, folks, are the only pictures we managed to take.  What can I say? We live in the moment.  

COUNTDOWN!!

T-Minus 4 days until THESE GUYS come to visit!!!!! CAN'T WAIT. 

We will be doing fun things like this:

 AND this:

And other good things, here:

My Fab Weekend At HOME!

My weekend in pictures

I flew home on Tuesday night

Wednesday found me at the doctor's office with Geoff, who we thought broke his foot.  Don't worry, it was just his toe--not important at all.

That night at Waffle Wednesday, Nikki wasn't feeling so well due to a kidney stone (they're beasts), so we high-tailed it to the ER for some drugs.

My next adventure was Little League practices and games on Wed, Thurs, and Saturday:

And Patrick's track meet on Thursday:

Matt and I were really good supporters:

I got to go see Mike's new house, which he just closed on last week, in the middle of the remodeling process.  Of course I wanted to help out.

I also spent time visiting friends and family.  I got to go see my grandparents for an afternoon.  I always have a good time talking with them and hearing about their lives from before I was ever even a thought.  

On one of the friend visits, I got to hike my beloved Badger Mountain with my BM Hiking Buddy, Alexis. It was WINDY.  We then went out to PF Changs, a time honored tradition.

Teresa is in the Practicum stage of the Nursing Program at WSU and has been doing 12 hour nightshifts.  Ugh.  I tried to keep the boys entertained and quiet.  One of the nights we went here:

And to see this:

Ahh, the best way to spend a Friday night.

*********************

I was a very fun trip filled with all the things I like.  Except for the weather, I couldn't have asked for a better time.  And soon enough, I will be back for another visit.  17 days!

Oh, and by the way..........

 I will be with these yahoos in a little less than a month!!

(and just so you know we aren't ridiculously crazy looking, here's another)

Can't wait!!!!!
