So Good to see Everyone in Utah!

After we packed everything up in NYC we drove it to VA and then flew home to Utah to see everyone! It was a nice 2 week break. We had a great time see friends and family. I wish I took more pictures of people we saw including my friends and Jeff's friends... but what do you do... it was still so much fun and I guess I'll get them next time! For some reason this time coming home was a lot harder than before because I hate saying goodbye! But it was still a blast and we loved the summer weather! 

MOTHER'S DAY... well where do I start. I don't know where I would be without my mom in my life. She is a true inspiration to me in so many ways... I don't even know where to begin. I am glad that we were home to spend the Sunday with both mom's and let them know how much we love them.  Mom- thank you for being an amazing icon for me. You can get through obstacles in life and can just smile back at them with your incredible happiness. Thanks for teaching me that. I am always happy because of you and Dad. You taught me to always be nice to everyone I know... and to LOVE everyone and everything I encounter. Your capacity to LOVE is one of a kind. Thank you for that and thanks for choosing me to be your daughter! love you more...

Here are some pictures of the families on Mother's Day...

Grandma and Jen- thanks for being the greatest MOMS to me and Jeff! We loved spending it with you and truly look up to you like our moms as well! Thanks for everything...

I had to post this because I love my brother... he is hilarious. Here is a shout out to TREYDEN for graduating HIGH SCHOOL this week! Congrats!!! Wow time has flown by I'll tell you what... it seems like yesterday when you were 5 running around the pool with a TAB in your hand yelling "tequila!" Have a great time on Senior Trip my friend and live it up... and as DAD would say... It doesn't get much better than this. 

Oh WOW... where do we start with LIZ?! I didn't get a picture of Liz exactly on MOTHERS DAY so this one is from NYC... but we had to thank Lizzie for her amazing LOVE to the both of us. Liz you also are a true example to me and Jeff. What would we do without you? You are always... always happy and upbeat and just high on life. There have been times when Liz has helped us on our past remodels and she'll show up right after work with a paint brush in her hand all ready to help.... and then comes 5:00 a.m. and she is still as cheery as can be and SO happy to be there. She is one that will do anything and everything for her kids. And I love it. Thanks for such a great time in Utah- you always spoil us! love you!

Colby and Katelyn! I have to give a shout out to Colby as well... he went to TEXAS this summer to see alarm systems and is loving it. We're so proud of you Colb! We were sad to say goodbye but are excited for your new adventure. 

Here is my cute mom opening her gifts... my DAD always spoils her...

Brady and Brookie!! So let me just tell you that Brady and Brookie are living in PRAGUE right now for the summer... I know... what?! How freaking awesome is that. I am so proud of Brady and his hard work at Thunderbird. They are loving their experience... we are so jealous! The school life is the bomb! we miss you guys already...

How freaking hilarious is the picture... all I say is look at the camera and they can both come up with these funny faces in a heart beat. My grandma has the best funny faces =)

MOM and DAD

We had a great time hanging out with the cute Vandenakkers and Prince's! Thanks for making time for us guys... we sure miss you but we are excited for your next new adventures as well! 

And of course we had to see our good friends the Mulcocks, Stokoes, Blancks, Bruschke's and Olsens... so fun! We had a BBQ at the Stokoes. So fun to catch up... we miss our traveling buddies! 

The GIRLS

We also had a great time going to see THE METRO all completed (well it's been done for a while but we went and saw ALAN's amazing condo). Here is his sweet view... we loved laying in his comfortable bed and watching the PLAYOFFS! Thanks Alan for such a great time! 

Here is also a THANK YOU to cute Barbara- Jeff's grandma. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! You have always taken good care of us and we thank you! Love you so much!

Our first night there we went to the yummy RED MANGO with my FAM. 

So I was totally craving the yummy BUFFET at ZERMATT. It had been way too long and it's my most favorite thing to do.  So both families went up and stayed the weekend. It was so fun to relax by the pool, golf, eat eat eat, see Angels and Demons, and be with FAM. 

Thanks everyone for such a great time! We miss you already. We always recognize how lucky we are to have all of you!
