Visiting Utah

Each year we plan on going up to Utah to visit family and friends as soon as Ryan finishes his Spring semester. This year we left right after the Touro BBQ with the hope that Easton would sleep the whole time....he didn't. He actually only slept about an hour total of the drive, and was awake the rest of the time. He woke up around midnight when we stopped for gas in Utah County and was wide awake the rest of the drive to Logan, completely bright eyed and bushy tailed when we got there! His sleep schedule was really messed up for a few days and he didn't even take naps for the next 2 or 3 days. Despite that, we had an AMAZING trip! It is so fun to go back to see family and feel like we never left by just getting back into the swing of their normal lives.
We had a birthday party for Mason to go to, helped his parents get the house ready to sell, I helped them with modeling some new clothes for the store, we made dinners, had family photos, went to Ty's soccer game, got together with old friends for a BBQ at the park,  went to Maddie's dance recital. We went to lunch with Morgan and Dallin, and Morgan and I got pedicures and went shopping. Kim practiced her foot zoning on me, and also took me to see her instructor for a foot zone, which was incredible! We had so much fun in Logan with everyone, and it's weird to think that the next time we go up, Kim and Norm's home may be sold and we will have to stay in a new house. So many memories up there that we will treasure forever!

Me and Easton, Kari Gooch with her twins, Olive and June, and Aubree Olsen, pregnant with baby boy #1. Missed the Davis', but the rainy weather made the 3 hour trip up nor really worth it. Miss our fun days back in our USU 63rd Student Ward!

North Ogden was the second half of the week, and we were super busy there as well. We of course spent lots of time with family. My mom planned a shish-ka-bob with my whole family as well as Jill, Royal, Lauren and Nick. We were also able to Skype with Blake and Taryn while they are in Tennessee, and Christian and Sam in El Paso. I went to Lauren's class at Gold's Gym with Jill one morning...crazy Lauren is so fit! My mom took my sisters and the grandkids to The Treehouse Museum and lunch, Jacob also had his preschool graduation. We were there over Memorial Day, so we went to Clearfield to put flowers on my grandparents graves, afterwards we had a picnic at the Pleasant View Park with all the grandkids. I caught up with my cute friends Christy across the street, and also went to a movie and ice cream with my Chelsea!

On our way home, we stopped in Draper at Ikea to do some shopping and got a new entertainment center, and we were lucky enough to have Alex and Danielle meet us for lunch before we got on the road home. It was a super fun and busy two weeks, and we loved every second we spent with our family and friends. As much as we love Las Vegas and our home here, we really do miss everyone in Utah so much!
