What a week!!!

It has been a GREAT week. Lots and Lots to share. I have been in Utah with my dear dear sister and wonderful family. We also had a family reunion on the fourth that was just soo much fun. Thanks for planning all the games Sue. My kidos had a blast. And thanks to Tom for the rockets. Some of those babies got way high in the clouds.


I guess Im getting older because it was just such a joy to see everyone. I really realized this last week what a truly fabulous family I come from. I knew before, but it was confirmed by a 1000% this trip. At one point we shared memories of my grandpa. I heard some funny stories but he also is such a loved a selfless man. I am honored to call Grandpa Bud my Grandfather.

Here are a few photos from the reunion.



Also I started the BEST EVER series of books. I know everyone has heard of them and I am a little late jumping on the bandwagon of fans, BUT Stephanie Meyers ROCKS. I started Twilight on Tuesday when we started our drive to Utah. I couldn't put it down. Not for very long anyway. Thursday, I was done and headed to Walmart to get the others. I found #2 New moon and couldn't put that one down. I read in the car every time we went somewhere. Even if it was 2 minutes away. I stayed up late with kids just to read. Well I finished #3 on the ride home today. Thank goodness my mom likes to drive ( I fall asleep after driving 45 continuous minutes ). Now I can wait for the next one to be released. And I'm totally for Edward!!! Just an FYI


Monday we went to see WALLE. It was cute but not as good as I expected. Then we headed up to Sugar House Park in SLC. That park hold lots of memories for me. I remember playing the stream, pretending to be on some jungle adventure. Yes a jungle adventure. I was 10 when we moved from SLC to Arizona ok. I still used my imagination. So it was really fun to see my kids play in the same stream, roll down the same hills. I loved it. And the trees. How I miss the trees EVERYWHERE. We drove by our old houses and schools, they look so small to me now. I used to think they were huge. Funny how things look when you are a child compare to when you are an adult.
Then on the way home we stopped at the lot where 2 old school sat. They were so cool. We took tons a pictures.


All in all we had a fabulous trip. I really wasn't ready to come home, but life continues and responsibilities are still there. So back to the real world.

Ill post more pictures tomorrow. There are so many more to share.
