Utah memories

I had been planning to have some much needed manners lessons for my kids this summer, so I decided to organize it while we were at Grandma's house.

Aunt Lauren loved getting in on the dressing up factor, and pretended to be Mary Poppins, who was their manners' instructor. She cracked me up. I think I laughed the hardest though when the girls pointed out one of her manners' mishaps.

The kids played and played and played.

Because we were there so long, Dave and I were able to sneak away for an overnight 12th anniversary trip to Park City.

My mom organized a very nice dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building to honor and celebrate my Grandpa's 90th birthday.

We sure love this guy. His generosity has given all of our family a very wonderful life.

Teyah was just cracking us up. She would not stop kissing him. It went on and on and on to the point that we finally had to pull her away. She was just so excited and happy for him that that's how she knew to express it. It was precious!

My mom is pretty amazing how she cares for him everyday.

I can't believe how big our family is getting! 

After celebrating Grandpa's birthday at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, we found this fun spot to take a family picture.

We can't be close to this gorgeous building without snapping a picture!



Coincidentally, my dad and stepmom Debbie happened to be in Utah the same time as all of us. So, we were able to meet at a restaurant for some fun times.

It's not often that my dad and two siblings are all together. For some reason, we all independently chose to wear green that day!

Our week and a half in Utah was jam-packed and so much fun!
