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!!

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!!!!

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!
