Day 6, 7, 8 - Trip to Utah

Day 6 - Trip to Utah

July 1st, 2009

We started the day by visiting Jacie's tree that is
planted at my parent's house. :)

Then we went to the aquatic center and let the
kids have fun in the sun.

I forgot my camera, but for dinner we went to the
park with our friends in Logan. We had a great
time seeing them and getting a chance to visit. We
sure miss them a lot!

Then I went out with my girlfriends to Casper's
ice cream at 9 pm... we stayed until they kicked us out
and then we sat in the car and visited until 4 or 5 a.m.
I can't remember now what time it was... I just know
it was early morning and we were joking about still
being there when they came to re-open in the morning,
and the cops had to check on us a couple times. :)

I LOVE these girls. They are women of great strength
to me. We have had so many conversations that
could never exist in normal life. We have talked
about our greatest trials, triumphs and joys in life.
They have been there for me through all the ups
and downs and I miss them more than I can express.
I didn't get a picture that night, but I have one
from a couple years ago that we had taken before
we all started moving in different directions in the
world. :) Love you grrls!!!
(And yes, I know it is mis-spelled. It is a joke
we have between us... long story) :)

While at my Girls Night it turned to
Day 7 - Trip to Utah
July 2nd, 2009

For my birthday my friends got me the cutest
decorator plate that says...
"FRIENDS... We're not sisters by birth but
we knew from the start... God put us
together to be sisters at heart..."

And they gave me a tile picture that says
"Learn from the past,
Prepare for the future,
Live for the present"
Thomas S. Monson

After 2 hours of sleep I got up and got ready for
my birthday lunch with my mom & another best
friend Kristi. We went to Olive Garden with
just the three of us. It was so much fun!
Love you Kristi... and mom! :)

(I didn't have my camera to get a picture, but this is a
picture off of her blog... I hope you don't mind Kristi)

After lunch we visited with family and then
Jez and I were able to go out on a date!
Yes, with no kids for a whole night!!
(Thanks mom & dad)

We went to dinner at Hamilton's
and then stayed up at Sherwood Hills.

We had a lot of fun. It was really nice to get out.

Then it was:
Day 8 - Trip to Utah
July 3rd, 2009

When we got back to my parent's we saw little
Treven's poor nose. He scratched it on a plastic
lawn chair. It looks worse than it was. He just
has a little scar left. My brother-in-law had
his doctor bag with him so he glued it together for us.
(Thanks Landon)

The kids played outside all day.

Then we got dressed in our Red, White, and Blue for
the firework show that night.

We had a BBQ in the backyard and our own firework
show while waiting for the city fireworks.

My parents deck has a perfect view of the stadium
so we sat there to watch the fireworks.
