Utah!

A couple of weeks ago we went to Utah to visit friends and family. We stayed with our BFF's Codee and Randy. We had so much fun! We love those guys, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! We miss living within walking distance of them :) WE had a week o' fun. We got to meet up with Jarom's Uncle Jeff and Aunt Becki and cousins for a 4th of July BBQ and delicious dessert (I still need that recipe Becki!) The next day we got up way early to go to this hot air balloon festival. It was so neat seeing all the balloons being blown up and taking off, Evan LOVED it! We had a yummy breakfast at Kneaders, the guys went disc golfing, and later Codee and I went to see Eclipse. And that's just day 2!

The next day we took the kids to a huge indoor bounce place, Evan had sooo much fun with Jamison! That night hung out with my cousin Erin and her cutie pie son, Seth :) The next day the guys took the boys fishing. Then our really good friends Jeff and Emily and fam came down to hang out. We miss them so much too! We all headed up the canyon and roasted hot dogs and had smores and the kids ran a muck and we all just had a good old time! Although I am still HORRIFIED at some of the paramedic stories Randy and Jeff were telling. I am traumatized for life :)

Thursday we had a grand plan to go to Park City and do the zip line and the alpine slide. We drove all the way there and right in between Jarom buying our tickets and Randy buying his they shut it all down due to lightning up on the mountain! We hung out for a while hoping it would pass but alas it did not so we drove all the way there for some good old taco bell and rocky mountain chocolate factory! When we got home the boys went to see Toy Story 3 while Codee and I went shopping :)

Ironically my bro Russ and his fam was in Utah too. So on Friday we all met at a park and the guys disc golfed and the girls hung out at the playground with the kids and we had a picnic and just had fun relaxing. The next day we left :( We had a blast and of course played cards every night! Evan had so much fun, Jamison is like his long lost brother :) Evan is still talking about his friend Jamison and wears the shirts Jamison gave him EVERY chance he gets! Thanks again to the Bells for their awesome hospitality! We love you guys!

The next day we headed to Vegas for a layover :) We hung out with Jarom's uncle Kal and aunt Miki and got to see their sweet new baby :) We had a great time and a delicious BBQ. Evan had so much fun with Karter and is still talking about going to primary with him :) (He went to sunbeams with Karter cause he didn't want to go to nursery alone). Then, sadly, we had to head home. We had a blast and will definitely have to do it again sometime! Here's a few pics from our trip!
