Sisters Weekend

Last weekend I flew to Salt Lake for my sisters and I much anticipated annual sisters weekend. We had so much fun shopping, eating out, staying in a hotel, getting pedicures, and shopping and eating out some more. We had such a great time and one of the best parts for me was no kids! I love my kids but it was such a nice, relaxing break to be away and it was so fun to hang out with my sisters. It was a great weekend!


What better way to start off the weekend than by pampering ourselves with a pedicure. I have no idea why the little Asian lady who did our pedicures held the camera at such a weird angle but we had to get a picture because this was my sister Jill and I's very first pedicure. It was fabulous!

We spent one day up in Park City. We made quite the haul on clothes so we thought we would take a picture of all our shopping bags.

Relaxing at the hotel after a hard day of shopping and eating out. :)

My dad was able to come down and join us the last day. It was fun to all be together and I was glad I was able to come and see everyone. I can't wait for next year!

Tyler's 5th B-Day!

I officially have a five year old! Tyler's birthday finally came and now he can quit asking me when it is. :) He couldn't wait to have a transformer themed party and he was so excited to invite a few friends from his primary class. They played games, ate cake, opened presents, and finished with a pinata. The kids partied hard and had a great time.


The whole group enjoying the cake and ice cream. Logi loved being included with the big kids. Tyler even gave him an invitation to his party.

The birthday boy right after he blew out his candles. He was asked later what he wished for and he said "that we can be a family forever". Even I was surprised by his response. I guess he does listen to us sometimes. What a stud!

Opening Presents! (Tylers favorite part)


Rick was the brave one to hold the pinata while all the hyper kids were swinging the bat. Here is Tyler getting ready to take a whack at Optimus Prime

Tylers actual birthday was a few days later and that is when he got to open his presents from family. The night before we told him that if he wanted to open his presents in the morning that he would have to get up really early because Rick leaves for Tucson at 6am. The next day when Rick got up at 5:30am Tyler was sitting on the couch next to his presents waiting for everyone else to get up. I wonder how long he had been sitting there!


Later that night we had pizza and I made him another cake. Here is a family shot with the birthday boy on his big day. We love you Tyler!
