2nd Week in Utah

We left Julie's house on Saturday the 18th and headed up to Oakley to my brother Kyle's house. We did make a short stop for lunch date with David, Arlene and Lauryn in Herriman. It was so great to see them and we miss them like crazy! Next time will deffinantly have to make more time with them. Their new house is so nice and fits them very well. We had sub sandwiches and topped it off with ice cream :) Then we said our goodbyes and continued on our way. While in Summit county we spent the time with my family. My brother and his family, Kyle, My Mom and Brittany. We swam at the Summit County Rec Center alot and the kids had sleepovers with their cousins. I met Brittany in Orem for her 21st Birthday and ended it with a evening out at the park. Saturday the 25th we headed home, not without stopping in Moroni for a final goodbye to Brittany, and then again in St. George to see my Dad and Elaine. The trip was so much fun, and I really enjoyed the girls most of all getting to know their cousins more. I also helped Kyle fix his Kitchen Faucet that was leaking. Oh boy was that fun playing Tim the Toolman! We got it fixed though. I can say I officially helped install a brand new Kitchen faucet for my brother.

Happy 21st Birthday to the most Amazing Little sister on this planet! I love you Brittany and so glad we got to spend the day together..Just you n me!

The girls last night campin at Uncle Kyle's house! It sure was fun! Thanks Kyle and Mom for taking us in and making our 2nd week great!

As we headed home we had some unfinished business to do..... We were all suppose to get together for Brittany's B-day down in St. George but for some reason God decided it was not such a good time for this, and made sure that not ONE but TWO cars weren't working. So I told my mom I would stop and see Brittany and give her, her cake! We bought a small little cute piece of cake and put candles in it. Then the 3 of us sang to Auntie Brittany for her 21st Birthday! I hope she enjoyed it, I know she wanted more! But alas Happy Birthday to Britt.

We stopped and saw Granny Great and Grandpa Royal as well. The girls miss thier Granny great so much! This was the only Great grandparent they knew from my side.

We ended it with stopping in St. George for a late lunch with my Dad and visit at Elaine's house. She had this wolf statue that the girls couldn't help resist getting a picture with. We had so much and enjoyed every minute of our trip minus the bad luck with the vehicals. Love you all...See ya next time!

Princess Festival

So apart of our first week in Utah we attended the Princess Festival at Thanksgiving Point. My mother in law Corinne as you all know is an awesome seamstress. Well for the past couple years she has been doing costumes and such for Ron Hadfield and his Princess Festival. She has always wanted the girls to go, and we never got our schedule worked out to go. But this year it just sort of fell together. Ron Hadfield puts this event on as well as others for different charities and such including his own called "In our own quiet way". He helps with the people in Kenya and all sorts of other charities. The kids get to dress up and come to this event and meet all sorts of Princesses, and Princes etc. There are little skits put on telling the different stories of the Princesses. There is places to get their hair, nails, and make-up done...including face painting. As well as crafts to do for chairities. The girls had so much fun and like always their Grandma made their beautiful costumes for the event. If you have a little girl and live in the Utah/SLC county area I suggest you look into it next year.
