Utah- Part II

I returned home from Utah last Saturday. The second week of my trip was spent with the grandkids! We played lots, and I love spending time with my little loves. I'm even more exciting to be moving back to Utah where I can see them way more often!

We jumped on the tramp with the new sprinkler:

We went to Gardner Village and fed the ducks.

We went to the Gateway where they were having a celebration for Union Pacific. They had a free train ride that the girls were stoked for.

We also went to the Hill Air Force Base.

After we drove tot the Treehouse Museum in Ogden.  

Then we went to my mom's cousin's house where she has a few horses. The kids were in heaven!

We went up to the outlets at Park City.

 and rode the Alpine Slide.

 
and we played at the park with cousins!

We came home tired but I love spending time with these kids!

Love,

MM

P.S. Happy National Best Friend's Day! Here's a little tune to help you celebrate.

Summer in Utah- Part One

Long time, no talk! I'm here on my new laptop.

 I've been on vacation in Utah for over a week. I've had a family reunion, wedding shower and reception, baby shower, and two birthday celebrations. 

Here's the happenings of the first week:

Saturday July 14th- Allen Family Reunion

 Sunday July 15th- Family dinner and Matt's Birthday party

Monday, July 16th Matt and Kate pack up

Tuesday July 17th- Grandma's 81st birthday

Wednesday, July 18th Mini- Allen Family Reunion in Aspen Grove


My mom ended up recovering from her food poisoning in time to go to our small family reunion. Stella also ended up sick so we missed Mike and Moka and the girls. That left just the 5 of us but we still had a great time! We ate at the Foundry Grill in Sundance, played lots of ladder ball (where Kate finally ended Matt's winning streak), had a barbecue, and made microwave s'mores.

 Thursday, July 19th The Day of the Showers


We went to a bridal shower for my cousin Andrew's now wife Jessica. There was good food and lots of presents to open!

Then came Kate's baby shower that my mom and I planned. We had Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes, fun games, and other treats. 

Friday, July 20th


We played with the girls, and that night my mom, Aunt Bonnie, Maddie and I went to the annual MoTab Pioneer Concert. Katherine Jenkins was the guest star and she was magnificent! We checked out City Creek and ate at Blue Lemon.

Saturday, July 21st


Moka, Makayla and I got our toes done, and then that evening my mom and I went to the reception for Andrew and Jessica.

I'm enjoying myself in this hot weather, and counting down the days for BYU- 30 to go!

Belated Festivus

Even though it is now February, I still wanted to post the rest of the pictures from December! We just got a new computer so now I'm able to upload pictures from our camera easily. 

Here are a few photos from my daddy's big 5-0! (totally just realized the connection to our favorite Hawaii 5-0)

Since we ended up going to Utah before Christmas Day, we had our own mini-Christmas with Melissa and Randy.

(Most of this loot was going to the grandkids in Utah) 

Lego's and an iPad

My favorite cat lady.

M&R know me so well.

 Now we're getting to Christmas Eve/Day at Mike and Moka's.

 Okay, I was playing with the settings on the camera and this crazy picture happened. It just makes me laugh because it is so ridiculous! 

 The best photo we could get of the little nuggets Christmas morning!

This is what happens when my parents give Kate the best gift ever... tickets to Celine Dion in Vegas!

Dr. Matt gets an iPad

the "I think there is no more presents for me" pout

I love my Mak Attack!

 Later in the day I got to visit my Grandparents and my grandma wrapped one of the best gifts for me..

My Grandma is an amazing painter and she painted the picture I took of a felucca while I was in Egypt. I just love it and it is now framed and hanging in my room.

 As Christmas day winds down..

FaceTiming with the Canadians

 and to all a good night.


Thank you for letting me post a few months late- I've missed this here blog! I'll be back soon.


Love,
