Utah-Day 2

Day two was an eventful day as well. I was able to meet up with one of my best friends. Megan and I have known each other since I was in 8Th grade. We have been besties ever since. She and I happen to book tickets to Utah at the same time (she lives in Hawaii) without knowing the other was going. Miracle. We we able to catch up, meet each others kids and re-hash some of the good old days. I haven't seen her since her oldest son was Brigham's age and now he is seven....too long!

Megan's Kids (Aiken, Eva and Ronin), Codee's kids (Jamison and Jensen), and of course Abby and Briggs.

The real reason that brought us to Utah. This sweet little angel is Cortland

Proud Aunt

Don't you just want to squeeze his cheeks. He is actually really little. The pictures make him look bigger than he really is.

Utah- Day 1

Cassidee, Abigail, Brigham and I arrived in Utah on July 4Th. Randy Picked us up from the airport and we went straight to the 4Th festivities at my cousin Tiffany's house. We ate most of the day away, watched the man boys play with explosives, had a water balloon toss and the kids played until they were exhausted. It was so fun to see so many people that we are related to on the first day of our arrival!

Go Cowboys

The other day I put Briggs in his Romo Jersey and Abby decided she wanted to wear hers too. They were so excited to match they wanted their picture taken. However every time I tried to take the pretzel away from Briggs he started to cry. Typical.

Briggs trying to be a Real Cowboy!

Dear Culdee

Dear Culdee,

I would appreciate it if I could stop finding you in my toaster. I realize its a warm place to snuggle up at night but please try to find a new place to rest.

Praise to the Man

Abby has been learning Praise to the Man in Primary and she loves to sing the song. In the first video she is still learning it. In the second she nails it. Too cute!

Last Day of School

Abby had her last day of preschool (until next year that is) a few weeks ago. They had a field day, and had all sorts of fun. She is totally greasy in the first picture because she was. I had rubbed her down with a large amount of sunscreen before she left. A few days prior she had and end of year program where the kids sang and danced. Abby was classic Abby. For the most part she had her hands in her mouth or was watching other kids. But nonetheless I will still a proud momma. I was able to catch her a few times while she was participating.

Abby and Tigger

Each year I take a "Tigger" picture with Abby to show her growth from the little 3lbs 1 ounce that she was. Sometimes I forget and my dear friend Jess always reminds me. I didn't forget this year, like I did last year, I just didn't have the means to upload them. Each year I really am amazed at how different she looks. My little babe is growing up!

Abby's 4th Birthday Party

Abigail turned 4 this year. Sometimes I am pretty sure that number should be a 16 but alas its 4. She has done so many things this year and grown a lot (the tigger pics will come in the next post.) When I asked Abby what she wanted to do for her party again the reply was Tinker Bell. Which was great for me. I still had some stuff from last year, and since she was Tink for Halloween she dressed up as her as well which she loved. Because our extended family has grown so much over the past year we can no longer have everyone over to our place. Thankfully the splash park was turned on in time and we had Abby's party there. She got a ton of great presents and thanks for everyone who came :) It was good times.
