week two is thru.....

We are home and sad.  We had such a great time in Utah that nobody was happy to wake up in their own bed this morning........we started the week off by dropping Jake off for the week at BYU for EFY.  He had such an amazing time and wishes he was still there.....

Here is what we did week two:

 Kennecot Copper Mine....really quite amazing!

we saw the newest Utah temple

we visited our first home and then showed the kids theirs

Jake should be next to Aubrey

went to the Dinosaur museum at T-giving Point with Lyric and Gregory

saw the Christensen's and their handsome boys

spent MANY hours on the tramp out back

After picking up Jake at BYU we ended the week at a Pioneer celebration at Nate's brothers neighborhood.  Zip line, water slide and fireworks made for a super fun day!

We had to take our yearly tramp pictures with the Nelson's.....everyone is growing up!

We got to spend so much time with family and friends....it is always so sad to say goodbye!  Thanks to all of you that made this such a wonderful, memorable two weeks!  Until next year.......

Thank you to these 3 for being the best hosts ever!  We love you!

Fun in Utah

Week one has been full of family and fun! We are having such a great time visiting all our family in Utah 

this week! Here are the highlights so far:

Dinner in Vegas with the Hunt clan to celebrate Dave's bday.

                                      Rollerblading/walk/run up Bridal Veil Falls!

Hiking up to Timp Caves

Hard hike but so worth it!

All girl, all day sewing!

here are the girls showing off their cute skirts and headbands

Playing on the tramp out back.  Uncle Nate started this wet activity........
he is just trouble.

                               Visiting the Olympic museum and watching the

         ski jumpers practice.

I have to say the biggest highlight was going down to the Assembly Hall to watch the taping of Music and the Spoken Word......awesome.

Nathan's friend from High School, Ryan Murphy is one of two conductors of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, he was lucky enough to meet up with him and some others from his Connecticut years.

There were a few others that were at the taping that morning.....a bus full of sailors and Glen Beck!  Very cool.  The Choir sang a song especially for them.

This is just a few of the highlights this past week.....we also, took family photos, saw a movie, went  to BYU and Sundance,  had dinner with the Christensen's,  played out back with the Nelson's, went to the Farmers market in Salt Lake and made many trips to Walmart.  We have had such a great time and look forward to week two!

Sewing can be so fun.....

well, at least my girls think so! I am not a fan. Due to that my girls had a day with an amazing and talented friend in my ward. After deciding what each of them wanted to make she took them to Joanns to get the supplies. They spent one evening and then most of the next day sewing away. She taught them so much and they had tons of fun! Aubrey made a dress for her cousin and Jane made a cute bag. Thank you Laurie for being so excited and willing to make this fun memory with my girls!
