UTAH FUN!!

I'm Back! And so so so behind on blogging! So get ready for a huge post with tons of pictures! We had such a great time in Utah! It means so much to us to get to have all the time with our family and friends! We did so many fun things and made lots of great memories! We are happy to be home especially to see Jake! And it has been great to see all of our fun friends here as well!

We took the girls out for their first sledding experience! It was especially fun for me that it was down Old Main Hill in Logan! I grew up sledding there, and have lots of great memories! Unfortunately it started raining and was so windy right when we got there! So we only made it half way down the hill one time!! Oh well...it still counts, right?!

Dad and Sadie


Mom and Samantha


This was the attempted 2nd trip down the hill! They were not excited about that!


We were able to go see the lights at Temple Square and a delicious dinner at the Spaghetti Factory with Jake's Family!


Samantha loving her Spaghetti!

Sadie thoroughly enjoying every last drip of the Spumoni ice cream!

The cousins!

Me and Holli!

It was so much fun to have the girls get to spend all kinds of time with their cousins! One of the highlights was a "tea party" at my brother's house! All of the kids were so cute to the girls!


We were lucky enough to spend about a week in Sunny St. George! The first couple of days Jake's Mom and sister and cousin Hailey were down there with us! We shopped and hung out! It was so much fun!

One of Sadie's new moves....the dog pile!!

Sam, Sadie

Poor Hailey!

Aunt Melo, Baby Briggs, Gracie, the girls and Gabe!

Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Cas

Making Wishes at the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite!! Sadie stripes, Sam hearts


These are just some more random pictures while in Utah!

Samantha and Ryker eating chips!!

The poor girlies got the stomach flu for about 4 or 5 days! It was so crazy to see them lying so still! This never happens!!!!

"Bampa" Brucie all decked out for a choir concert! Sam left, Sadie right
It is hilarious to hear the girls call for their "Bampa's" it is their new favorite word!!

Sadie left, Samantha right

We had a fun early birthday party for the girls...it is so much fun to get my whole family together! It is so crazy and LOUD!!

Samantha and Baby Briggs! I was so glad we got her to sit here all cute with him and not attack him! Sadie was NOT interested! They were so JEALOUS if I was even near him! Good thing we're not having a baby around here anytime soon....I would be so worried for its life!!!!



These next few pictures are the beginning of 3 different 2 Year Old Birthday Bashes we had for the girls!! They were so spoiled this year! We are so glad we were able to celebrate with everyone, it was so much fun! These pictures are from the little party we had with Jake's family before we came home.

Blowing out the candles!

A cake picnic!!

Loving their new Strawberry Shortcake and Crepes Suzette dolls!I don't know who is more excited...me or them! I loved Strawberry Shortcake dolls back in the day! I love that they are still cool!!

Well....I know this post is already CRAZY LONG! So I am going to wait and post more birthday party pictures soon!!

I wish we could have seen you (and finally meet Jake). Basketball takes over our January every year, and it is only the beginning. I love the pictures and cannot believe how cute your girls are. I cannot believe you went to Old Main. We were weenies and just went to Lundstrom Park (and by we I mean Lane since I am not able to sled this year). Missed seeing you and glad you had a good time!!!

Holli and Billy said...

I'm so glad you got some good old quality family time in. Nothing quite like it is there?

Kristen said...

Such cuties! I am still so sad we weren't able to come to the bday party! Thanks for the grab bag! Hopefully we will talk soon!

Miss L said...

I know it's hard to leave family and friends, but we are so glad you're back! :)

Adrienne said...

Love it love it love it! You could post a billion pics of your gals and I would look at every single one and be laughing out loud. That one of them on the sled is HILARIOUS!! We're so glad you're back!! And Gabbie is thrilled her "buddies" are back. Your fam could not be cuter.

Nicole said...

Seriously, the girls look so grown up! I'm sad I missed them in this trip, but it was a delight to see you! I love staying posted by your blog.

Sam looks so grown up in that picture with Briggs. I can't believe how grown up they are getting.

Josh and Erika Thorne Family said...

So fun to see! You're girls are getting so big, I can't believe it!

Daisie...I had lost your blog address on my blog when I switched styles...anyway, I finally thought I'd look on your facebook page to see if it was there and it was! I could've done that awhile ago...oh well, I'm glad I've found your blog again and I'll post it on my list! Hope all is well, your girls are so cute!!!
