A REALLY FUN TRIP TO UTAH!!
Here are some of the highlights:
* A SUPER fun visit with my fabulous friend Sally aka "Sista Cooper" in Arizona. Man I love this girl and as you can see so do my kids. Miss you already, thanks for a fun time!
* We of course have to make the annual trip to temple square so my kids don't forget that this really is the place. This time we also threw in a tour of the Conference Center which was awesome, especially the roof.
* The blessing of this little man. My newest and sweetest little nephew Gavin was reason enough to drive all that way.
* Hiking to doughnut falls with the Bullocks. I loved that E and A were old enough to go all the way into the doughnut with me! This was awesome!
* Hanging out at Megan and Todd's house in Hyde Park. Miah especially loved the neighbor's baby cows. She couldn't get enough of them! And how cute is she is Todd's hat?
* Family lip syncs at the reunion cabin. We did Mi ya Hi by Ozone, the Romanian version. If you ask nice we'll do it for you sometime. This was so fun!
* Seeing some old friends from High School. These hot babes are still so much fun to be with. Thanks for taking the time to get together girls!
* Just being with family overall was so great and so worth the drive
**Just a side note: I drove the whole way home without Dallas (he had to fly back early for work)! I was nervous but was saved by the GPS in my phone and many prayers that my car wouldn't break down in the middle of NOWHERE! I consumed about 2 bags of sunflower seeds trying to keep myself awake and alert and that totally works by the way, but I've now had my salt intake for the next month! No one threw up, or died, and I only lost it once:). Ethan was my hired help in the back seat he and managed to keep 3 very demanding girls fairly happy the whole time! He's a champ. See you next year Utah!

Wow, you are amazing to be able to drive all that way by yourself. I only have two kids and I don't think I could have done it. You are super mom. I am so glad you had a fun trip to Utah. We love Utah too. I miss sweet Sister Cooper, and you too. How fun!
How fun! My daughter may want to join your family... yours seems like more fun! Glad no one died and the car made it on the way home. Have fun detoxing from all the salt. And Gavin is adorable! Love the little tux vest. Glad you had such a great trip!
Sheryl you are so awesome! I'm so glad you made it home safe....and you only lost it once, that sounds like a pretty good mom ;) Thanks for keeping in touch over the years....we miss you and love you!!
I love you guys! The only bad thing about seeing you all was the sad feeling when you left. I still just cannot believe that we are so far apart. Still I'd rather be sad when you leave after having such a great time. Our turn next!
So glad we got to see you! What a great Mom! Driving all that way and what great kids too! Love you guys!
It was great to see you guys. It always stinks when you leave! I've really got to find a way to get us out there to visit you guys.
