Our Utah trip

This Labor Day we went on a much needed family vacation to Utah because my friend Michelle was getting married (I was her laurel advisor many moons ago). We made the trip up there in 1 day and surprisingly Kassidy did very good. Movies are the way to go when you decide to take a long trip! Kassidy and I were part of the wedding which was on Thursday and she and Addison who is Michelle's sister's daughter were to walk down the isle with eachother while Kassidy carried the ring pillow and Addison to throw down flower petals but of course Kassidy was helping her, or actually doing it for her, but it was so cute!

The next day Friday we went and saw a friend of mine from CA who lives in South Jordan that I haven't seen in 15 years because my crazy parents moved us to the boonies away from civilization! We had such a good time catching up and just laughing at everything that we both have been through and remembering other friends. Thank you Ariel for the good memories :) After visiting with her then it was back to West Valley to see Michelle's sister and play with Addison since they had such a good time at the wedding. Then to end the day we went to Sandy to visit a roomate that I had while living in Utah. Busy busy day!!

On Saturday we made our way to Bountiful to see a friend who I was roomates with in our CA singles ward. We both moved to Utah and after a year or so I went back to CA and she stayed in Utah. Kassidy had fun playing with her 2 kids and they had fun with her! We went to a pool that was at their recreation center and I was able to go down a big water slide with her son and would have done that all day if I could :) Thank you Dawn for lunch and a fun time! Later that afternoon we went to visit my parents who are serving a geneology mission at the family history center. We will be visiting often over the next year since they are close enough to drive, they normally live up in the trees in Idaho which would take forever to drive to! We love you oma and grandpa!

The last day of our trip we spent with CA friends who moved to North Ogden. We went to church with them and stayed for dinner and rock band. They have 3 boys and Kassidy loved playing with them. They ran around the house all night while we were in the basement and didn't hear a thing...it was great...we want their house :) So a little story...we left their house about 8:30pm because we were leaving the next day at 5am, well it had been raining that afternoon into the evening (and still raining) so before we leave Danny decides he is going to try to change our windshield wipers because they didn't work very well on the driver side. Now Arizona is really really hot and these needed to be changed before we left but we never did thinking we won't run into rain...well, guess we learned! So it wouldn't work so we had to go to Walmart to get some since no where else was going to be open...on Sunday...in Utah, lol. So Danny is out in the pouring rain trying to change these wipers and they were not going to work so I started freaking out cuz I had to crouch down and drive but like I could do that for an hour back to West Valley. So he decides to try and drive and he can actually see if he made the seat go higher so on we go, to our destination and we arrived in safety. I so wanted to take a picture of him in the rain, soaked through his clothes but I don't think he would have appreciated the humor at the moment! RaeAnne and Colby we miss you and thank you for letting us invade your Sunday! Thanks for dinner and rock night, we had a blast and can't wait to see you again.
