Labor Day: 2011

{I'm not scared at all. They are just slimy snails... And yes... I'm still wearing my clothes from yesterday because we fell asleep in the car and my mom didn't want to wake me up to put my P.J's on. That's what vacation is all about. Right?}

{My grandma owns two houses. My kids always ask to stay at the "snail house". That's how we differentiate them now.}

{Jefferson heading straight for the pile of snails. He grabbed one and was a millimeter away from shoving it into his mouth. I had to practically drop my camera to prevent this from happening... all while dry heaving...}

We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend up in St. George with my parents... and a few siblings :)

The kids had fun swimming, snailing (finding snails and letting them race, picking out their favorite, and making huge piles of them), playing, running around crazy and getting spoiled by their grandparents.

I had fun eating, sleeping, relaxing, shopping, laughing, eating, and spending quality time with those I love (gag on the cheesiness... but it's true).

We arrived later than anticipated (that's what happens when you have kids) on Friday night. Ate dinner. Let the kids run wild. And set up beds.

We woke up Saturday, went to a garage sale, got ready, went shopping, then hit the Iron County Fair and Rodeo in Parowan. Super fun. Super fattening food. Super tiring. Hi-lights of Saturday: Watching my kids catch air on a slide ride, fireworks at the end of the rodeo, giving Jefferson his first taste of a snow cone.

Sunday we righteously hit 1pm church. I was able to spend most of my time trying to entertain Jefferson in the hall ... not a happy time for me. I realized how much Zach deals with Jefferson every Sunday and I don't!!! It is always such a nice break to be able to attend Sunday School and Relief Society... not this week:) But all was well after arriving home, where my mom of COURSE puts on a HUGE dinner and yummy dessert. We stay up late visiting and laughing. Hi-lights of Sunday: Playing Skittles and Simon's amazing dance off!

Monday was overcast and AWESOME. My dad helped me GUT OUT my dirty van. The kids went swimming (twice). I went shopping AGAIN (oops). We had 2 enormous meals (thanks for the 4 lb weight gain Mom!! wink, wink) and grudgingly went home around 7pm. Just me, Reagan, McKinley and Jefferson. Hi-lights of Monday: Watching the kids eat smores the size of their fists!

I am so grateful to have such awesome family members. There is no way I would have had an enjoyable weekend without them. There was always someone there to help dish up my girls, or to hold Jefferson when I couldn't, or brush and do their hair, or countless other things. I usually feel 2 steps behind, and this weekend I felt right on pace with everyone else.

{Jefferson freaking out because I am across the pool area. Zoom in on the picture... it's worth it!}

Zach stayed up in Paragonah (where his parents live) the whole weekend, plus an extra day. So the only day I saw him was on Saturday afternoon and evening while we were at the fair. He and Lincoln came home Tuesday afternoon after their 4 day hunting adventure. They really are two peas in a pod! It is so fun to see them share a passion like hunting. Lincoln loves spending so much time with Zach. I know when he is older he will look back at these memories and remember how much his Dad loved him.

So 4 days later... all the laundry is caught up. House is put back together. Sleep is recovered. A few pictures are uploaded. And I can't wait for the opportunity to do it all over again.

NY

Zach and I recently left our 3 crazy kids in the hands of our all-too-willing family members for 5 days so we could venture to the dark and dreary world of Bloomfield NY. Boy were we surprised! We left RAINY LAS VEGAS for dry and beautiful Upstate NY! The whole time we were there it was in the High 30's (warm for there) and sunny! It only rained on one day for a short time.

We were initially supposed to leave on Thursday and come home Monday. We were prepared for possible flight cancellations seeing how we were flying into BUFFALO in the middle of January. We never imagined that our connecting flight in PHOENIX would give us a problem! Due to high winds and major rain ALL FLIGHTS through Phoenix were canceled. So we shifted our trip a day on both ends AND ended up getting a direct flight to and from NY (which weren't available at the time when I was purchasing the tickets 2 months ago), and our arrival and departure times were MUCH more convenient for those taking us to and picking us up from the airports!


Unlike most of our trips, we were NOT stopped at security this time. We hadn't forgotten to take all toy guns, and Swiss Army knives out of our carry ons. The only thing that was a little disheartening (while boarding a 4.5 hour flight), was realizing that Zach and I wouldn't be sitting next to each other! A grumpy old guy who was just in front of Zach took up THE only seat that had 2 spots together. UGH! I mean, really! He heard Zach and I trying to maneuver seating the whole time! After he sat down he looked at us like "Have fun sitting apart" ( I can read peoples thoughts by the way). I offered the back half of the plane as much alcohol as the flight attendants were allowed to serve as an incentive to move around, but nobody took me up on it. They probably thought I was a raging alcoholic, and had no idea that the closest I got to "the stuff" was rubbing it on my infants drying up umbilical cords. So we were left with two middle seats. As I made my way to mine I was slightly disappointed. Meaning: I almost started to cry. The 2 people I would be sitting in between were both larger than average and taking up 1 1/4seats. If there had only been one bigger person on either side it wouldn't have been too bad, or if they were both girls.But WHERE THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO SIT? I don't mind being cozy with a couple of chicks, but another guy? No space between us AT ALL = uncomfortable Kate.I'm not knockin on bigger folks, in reality, I was more mad at MYSELF. Both of my "seat mates" looked nice and were super friendly! If I had checked us in sooner, we would be in the front of the plane NEXT to each other. I was overreacting. I was tired from not sleeping for 2 nights(Wednesday night when we THOUGHT we were leaving the next day, and Thursday night when I worried all night that our flight would get canceled again). I missed our kids. I was paranoid (in an unnatural way) that we were going to DIE. Nervous about getting sick on a plane (nasty recirculated air). Regardless I was an emotional wreck! After we settled into two middle seats, Zach directly in front of me, I joked (to try and dissipate to hysteria starting to creep into my head) that "at least I can reach between the seats and hug you every once in a while". Less than 5 seconds had passed when the woman sitting in the isle seat next to Zach turned to the larger man sitting in the isle next to me and asked him if he would mind moving into her seat, and that she would move into Zach's seat, so that Zach could sit next to me. WHAT? A nice person? Really? He was more than willing to move. They all shuffled seats as I was offering her granola bars, gum, free drinks once we were at 10,000 feet, money, ANYTHING as a thanks. She denied them all telling us that one time on the same flight with her husband, they had been separated and no one was willing to switch. I rummaged through our backpack and finally found the Reese's Peanut-butter Cup that I had thrown in at the last minute and insisted that she take it. She did. I overheard her and the man talking off and on throughout the flight... he was nice. And the Gal sitting next to the window next to me, shared her People magazine while I tried to reassure her that she wasn't crowding me (even though she was, she was a GIRL and I could lean into Zach a lot), and we had an enjoyable flight with no turbulence and lots of reading.


We arrived in Buffalo a little after 5pm. My Grandpa Gerry picked us up with his son Jim. There was plenty of conversation on the 1.5 hour drive back to Bloomfield. After checking in with Grandma at home for a few minutes, we bundled up and set out for our friends Adam and Jennifer's house. She had made a 7 course meal... I kid you not... and it was fantastic! We enjoyed their company and conversation until 10pm and headed back to Grams.


Since it was only 7pm VEGAS time I knew I had a while before I could fall asleep. So we talked to our kids before THEY went to bed (they were so excited to be having 4 back to back sleepovers with their cousins we hardly could say it was "talking"), then we talked and hung out with Grandma and Gerry for a while (they are night owls and I love it!), and since we still weren't tired we stayed up and read a book together. Now, Zach doesn't know I'm posting this, and I don't really think he would care. Some think reading young adult book involving love will slowly diminish their manliness, however, this isn't a book JUST about Romance. Sure it's laced and woven throughout, but it's mostly about killing and surviving. Think about the t.v. show Survivor (one of our favorites). What if they dropped everyone on an island and dumped a bunch of weapons and said "There can only be one winner. Fight to the death. Last man standing wins. Go!". Last year I read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I LOVED both of these books and thought that Zach would actually be able to read them without vomiting (unlike Twilight where he got bored 2 pages into my read-aloud and fell asleep. I prefer sleep to puke). I think that I like Hunger Games as much as Twilight... maybe even more... let me tell you why ( I just figured it out myself after reading them again).

SPOILER ALERT:

The main character's name is KATNISS (Kate/Katniss... we share the first 3 letters of our name... WOW). She lost her father when she was 11 (I did not). She eventually learned to survive though the hunting skills he had taught her before he died (I think I've survived on financial skills my father instilled into me when I was young. Reiterate... my father is NOT dead. He's alive in Africa). One day when she was hunting, she ran into GALE (Zach) who grew up in her small District, District 12 (Bloomfield, Victor, both small towns we grew up in). He was 2 years older than Katniss but it seemed like more because he was supporting his large family (Zach is 5 years older than me). He is an avid and smart hunter, especially snares (So is Zach). They started off as friends, hunting partners. They figured the could get twice as much game together then if they hunted alone. It started off as friendship (so did we) however Gale started liking Katniss before she ever suspected it (Ditto for Zach with Kate). Katniss went to the games (Kate went to college). Katniss came home and Gale kissed her (Kate came "Home" and Zach kissed her). I obviously know OUR ending... I can't wait to read book 3 (August 24th) to see what happens with Gale and Katniss! So anyway... there is the love comparisons of Hulets & Hunger Games. But more than the love aspect (every girl loves a good love story), the concept of the book is so fun, and not that far off to what could happen to any country these days.

I'm sure that Zach has not even come close to comparing the characters to us, like I just did. He liked the book because it was time that we spent together... silently reading... and their was a lot of killing and conspiracy.

View from my Grandma's front window

Saturday, it was BEAUTIFUL! We woke up and just hung around the house all day talking and cleaning until it was time to go to Ericka's wedding. She got married at St. Paul's in Geneva at 3pm followed by a beautiful wedding dinner and reception at Belhurst Castle. It was a delicious dinner where we sat with some of my old friends from high school (Go Bombers).

It was SO fun catching up with old friends! It's hard to believe that this year is our 10 year class reunion. It was more than a little embarrassing when I had to introduce myself to DOZENS of people who really actually knew me. After a "double take", we would hug and catch up and update our lives with each other. Have I changed that much in 10 years? Ok, so maybe I used to dye my hair blond instead of dark brown (it's not black people!). And I used to wear it long, and now it's short with bangs.

NOW
THEN

Poor Zach got the worst of it! He was such a trooper. Meeting people he'll never see again. Hearing "Katie" stories over and over. Talking about our business and the economy in Vegas to other husbands and boyfriends of girls that I was talking to. He even took me out on the dance floor MORE times than than I made him promise he would.

Cutting the cake... they were nice! ( And so were the cakes... they had 5 different ones to choose from)

Her dress was just as AMAZING as she is! We had SUCH a fun time!

By 9pm my head was about to burst! I had a cold that got worse as the night got long. We took off early to head to Wal-Mart (one of the 2 stores that is open 24 hours there) to get some cold medicine. We read until the "pm" part of my meds kicked in and I passed out without notice.

Sunday was funday! We went to church and saw a ton of familiar faces. Came home and relaxed for a while. Went and hung out with Ericka and her husband and her family for a few hours (they were leaving Monday morning for a 2 week honeymoon in the Virgin Islands... sweet!). Then came back to Gram's for a family birthday dinner for Rosemary and Remington a.k.a the twins! It was so fun to see Joel & Jaylene, and Matt & Erin, and all the kids! It's hard to think that I was once apart of those Sunday dinners more than 10 years ago. Grandma would make her special salad dressing (that I STILL can't make it taste as good as hers), we would drink her bottled Vermont spring water, eat delicious cakes with ice cream, enjoy great company which included dozens of kids! Man, I feel old.

Monday we visited a few friends and family members while Grams went to the doctors. Ate a snack at a fantastic Cheese steak joint in Canandaigua (YUM). Had the rest of dinner & dessert with Grandma and Gerry.

Tuesday it was packing time! After a little housekeeping (Grandma saves the hard stuff for younger able bodies), we hit Parkside Pizza & Subs. Still good. ALWAYS and FOREVER!

We packed a small lunch and headed to the airport.
On the road again...

A storm was getting ready to move in, and I was worried we wouldn't make it out in time. Like always, there wasn't anything to worry about. The snow didn't even get there until the next day! We boarded earlier than last time, which wouldn't have mattered, because the plane was only half full. Zach and I shared a row of seats and 3 cokes on the way home.


We are SO fourtunate to have such fantastic family members who all helped get us to and from the airport. Took our kids. Fed them. Got them to school. To preschool. To church. To bed. And loved them all the while! When we came to pick them up, there were actually HAPPY to see us, but SAD to go! I think they would have started losing their personalities if we had stayed one more day! (Note to self: 5 day limit on Mommy/Daddy vacations)


A special thanks to Grandma and Gerry for letting us come and visit. For arranging airport shuttles (Thanks Jim!). And for putting up with my fast talking, and quick cleaning!

Birthday Weeks

The past 2 weeks have been a blur!

Friday March 27th, Zach and I went out for his birthday dinner. We knew we wouldn't get much time the next day since we were expecting our families coming into town.

Saturday March 28th (Zach's Birthday) we started off the day right by going to Chuck E Cheese! Zach even wore the sticker that told his name and age, plus he got 3 extra tokens! We were only there for 3 HOURS! Jeff and Rachelle were there with their clan, and we had a BLAST! Then after quick naps, and the arrival of my sister Emily and her family, we headed off to the park. It was SO beautiful outside and we actually made it home without any injuries. My other sister Kim (Kim and Emily are the only siblings who DON'T live in Vegas) arrived from their Disneyland/Beach trip minutes after we got home. LET THE PARTIES BEGIN! We had been counting the days until our mini family reunion. Ok, so there is NOTHING mini about my family... if we're being honest! And I am SO GLAD! You can pretty much count on a roaring good time when you get us all together!

Sunday was a full day packed with church, the blessing of baby Josephine (Jeff and Rachelle's latest bundle of joy) and a family dinner all over at Rachelle's house.

Monday was cousin play day at our house and then dinner and F.H.E at Greg and Whitney's house.

Tuesday my friend Anita brought over her amazing bunt birthday cake for me and Easter baskets for my kids. Minutes after she left my Mom came over to make some sweet necklaces (she brought hundreds of pounds of beads back from Africa), followed up by a baby shower that night for Amy (my brother Christian's wife, due with baby #1 in a few weeks) at Rachelle's house.

Birthday Breakfast

Wednesday was my birthday, which started out with a birthday tradition of coffee cake (made by my MOM! which hasn't happened since I graduated high school) and Emilee, Denett and Natalie bringing me birthday breakfast at 7:30 in the morning! (See Photo) My day got better when another friend dropped off 44 oz of my guilty pleasure... Diet Dr. Pepper from Sonic. By lunch time, I had a visit from Whitney and her kids, and my visiting teacher. Rachelle and Kim came by in the late afternoon, and Zach got home from work early! By the time I had dinner I was EXHAUSTED! Too many late nights and family parties. I was excited to open my gifts from the kids, but not half as excited as they were! A new door bell chime (well 25 to be precise), tile for the kids bathroom and a pedicure! I thought that was a pretty good end to my 27th birthday. But man was I wrong! At 7pm some friends showed up. Blindfolded me. And drove around like mad women for 10 minutes. They led me inside to a SURPRISE party! There was yummy food and sentimental gifts. I couldn't believe it! I was TOTALLY SHOCKED! I have NEVER had someone pull something off like this for me. I had been 100% clueless and it was SO fun! We relaxed, ate, laughed, ate, laughed, ate and laughed some more. It was perfect.



Thursday was quiet . Thank Heavens! I was on sugar overload!

Friday was over productive. I started AND FINISHED 8 loads of laundry. Spot cleaned my entire carpet upstairs and thoroughly cleaned my house. I was expecting a quiet weekend at home in my nice clean house, but that wasn't in the cards for me. At 7:45 Zach pulled out a video camera and there was a video message from Becky and Jenna. All they said was that I had 30 minutes to pack specific items that were on a list (that Zach then handed to me), and that I better hurry!

I was filled with excitement, anxiety, and surprise. My poor kids just wanted to watch Star Wars Episode 5 with me, and I knew that I wasn't coming back that night, or the next for that matter. They were so cute, and McKinley was the only one who got sad when Jenna and Becky showed up at the door.

After we got loaded in the car Becky asked me if I could choose ANYWHERE to go this weekend where would I go? I answered MY obvious answer "CALIFORNIA- the beach!". That's right. In 8 years of living in Las Vegas I have never made it South of St. Rose Parkway! I haven't even been to State Line/Primm. That answer was all it took to start off our screaming, laughing, driving, reading, shopping, eating, snacking filled weekend. Jenna summed up our weekend best so CLICK HERE to jump to her blog for a complete update and fill in!

Mostly I just feel really lucky to have great family and friends. I was so excited to get so many emails, phone calls and stopper by's! What a great way to start off April!
And that's no joke!

Harvest Weekend

Harvest Holiday

This past weekend we took a trip up north to St.George and Paragonah. And by "we" I mean that Zach dropped me off in St. George for a little R&R with my two best friends from college (Megan and Melissa), and He took the kids up to his parents house in Paragonah.

Saturday I was..... Hiking around Zion with my gal pals




and almost getting killed by an Elk that was fenced in!


Meanwhile in the mountains near Paragonah,
Zach was going hunting with his dad, his sister Riley and Lincoln


And the girls were having a good ol' time with Grandma Ginger!! Grandma gave Reagan a makeup box WITH makeup in it! I've never seen such glittery beautiful girls!


Sunday afternoon my friends dropped me off in Paragonah
(not before a few games of Yahtzee could be played)



on their way back to SLC, and I reunited with the fam. The kids had TONS of fun stories to tell me about the 30+ hours they had spent away from me. They always seem to have more fun when I'm not around (to stop them?).



Monday was "Harvest Day".
Harvest day is an official day off for those in school in Southern Utah. I guess it might be equivalent to NEVADA DAY here in Las Vegas. During the morning hunt I took the girls across the street to the playground. Of course we were the only ones there!
It was so nice outside and the girls had a blast.





Riley went to take her permit test (and passed! Way to go lady!) and we headed over to the fishing pond to catch a few fish.



Everyone caught their own fish, however not everyone wanted to touch theirs and throw them back. Lincoln had enough guts for everyone, so he did the dirty work.

Reagan getting as close as she can, by only POINTING to the fish.

McKinley was at least game to hold the line for the picture.

Lincoln liked to feed the ducks, and sometimes he liked to try and kill the ducks with rocks.
Here is a picture when he was being nice.
I tell ya, when it's hunting season, he has a hard time turning off the "kill" switch.


After fishing we stopped by Grandma Cora's house.
After a few Schwan's Ice cream treats we headed home for naps and clean up and MORE hunting.


Lincoln could honestly NOT GET ENOUGH. He doesn't complain at all about riding around for 5-10 hours at a time. Here are a few phrases that Zach told me about. I only wish he could have recorded them!

"I bet when other people drive by our truck they think 'there goes 3 hunters', but they're wrong. There's actually 4 hunters. ME. I'm the 4th one. But actually I'm like the biggest hunter in the truck because I don't just want to kill a deer, but I want to kill EVERYTHING"

Sobbing on their way home the last day.... "Dad, why can't mom just FLY home so we can stay and hunt more? Then when we finally kill a deer we can drive home and meet her there."

"Hit the deer with the TRUCK dad... NOW! Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!"

" I know, we can just make a cage. Then we can catch a male deer, and then next year when deer season comes along, we can just go the cage and shoot it!"

"Riley, it's okay if you shoot a spike...."

While I packed up shop and got ready for the hunters to come back home (sometime after sunset when you LEGALLY can't shoot anymore), Grandma Ginger kept the girls occupied by playing duck duck goose, and painting fingernails and toes! Side note: Reagan wants nothing to do with me when her Grandma is around. I can't take her to the bathroom, put her shoes on, or cut up her food. ALL SHE WANTS IS GRANDMA!!!


How did it all end? Did we have a good time? Well, you can hear for yourself. The kids pretty much summed it all up. I took this video a few minutes after we left Grandma and Grandpa Hulets house. I turned all the lights on inside the truck but you still couldn't see them. So I snapped a few still shots. Play the video and then scroll down through the pictures of the kids.

Yes, that's a tear streaming down Reagan's face onto her neck!

I had to laugh to keep from crying myself. We really feel lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!

Sisters Weekend

So I will give you a play by play (as far as I can remember... it already seems like TOO long ago!). Warning: Lots of unimportant detailed information!

Thursday morning Rachelle, Whitney, Amy, Tabitha and Myself all caught the 8:15 flight to SLC. During our 1 hour layover we picked up my sister Emily (from Lehi) and flew to Spokane, WA. Kim's best friend Lizzy picked us up at the airport and we headed to Kim and Tom's house in Coeur d'Alene Idaho (45 minute drive) for the surprise...

We had many different and all good ideas of how to surprise her, but we finally settled on having Rachelle go to the front door and surprise her while we all sneaked in through the garage down into the basement. After a 15 minute tour, Rachelle and Kim finally came down to see Kim's basement and SURPRISE! We popped out of her craft room! She had initially thought it was a little weird that only Rachelle had come to surprise her, and even said "it's only you?", as if one sister wasn't enough? It's a good thing we were all downstairs waiting :) Really though, she just thought it seemed more likely that a bunch of us would be there instead of only one... and she was on the right track!

(Just teasing Kim ...she doesn't even remember saying that :) So anyway, after hugs and a few happy tears (what do you expect with so many related women in one room?), we settled in and then headed for birthday dinner and a Southwest-Mex restaurant. The food was great and the company was amazing! We only embarrassed ourselves a few times. Once was while singing Happy (belated) Birthday to Amy as loud as we could... then the staff caught on and brought her out a birthday hat and free dessert while singing AGAIN to her! I thought for sure she was going to figure out some way to divorce our family while still staying married to Chris.

We left and were on our way to Kim's B.F.F Lizzy for cake and ice cream. Little did she know that it was ANOTHER surprise party with all her friends from Coeur d'Alene. We played "Oscar Night" where everyone brought a 2-3minute clip of their favorite scene from a movie. And after we watched them all, we voted on the best one! I wish I could download all of them and make a compilation of the movies. Some were romantic, some were classic, some were passionate, and some were just darn right-pee-your-pants-funny! Movie clips included Funny Farm, The Cutting Edge, Goonies, Black Sheep, The Notebook, Dumb and Dumber, A home video of Kim and Tom when they were first married, and many more! I highly suggest this for the next party that you have! Tom bought prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. It was super fun!

Friday we went on a fun little hike near downtown C.D.A


followed by thrift store shopping and Hudsons Famous Hamburgers for lunch.


I drove home with Lizzy (Kim's friend), and we stopped at the county fair to pick up some of her families famous Elephant Ears. They have had a booth at the fair for quite a few years now, and all the family donates their time and works all the shifts for free. Well, not really for free. The money they earn goes into a missionary fund for their kids. From what I can tell, their kids (who are still small children) shouldn't have to pay much out of their own pocket! Super Sweet Family Unity! But back to the Elephant Ears... They are sooooooooo yummy! They roll out dough into huge thin circles and deep fry them and coat them in cinnamon and sugar. (Lizzy's husband Tim, Tim's father behind me, and Myself holding a raw E.E)

That night after a trip to Costco to buy a t.v, and then to Fred Meyer for some essentials....

Yes Kim is using a cane and trying to look as if she needs to.


We played a "guess who" name game that of course had us all laughing hysterically by the end... "Steve Young"!

Saturday we woke up at the crack of dawn (9am), shoveled down breakfast and we were at Hayden Lake by 9:30.

It was 80 degrees outside and the water temp was around 69, but it felt great! Everyone tried at least one thing in the water. I tried wake boarding first, which was a body killer! I felt so tired after only a few runs. But then I tried wake surfing. here is the video my sister took on a digital camera. It was SO fun. It makes me want to try real surfing except that I hate salt water and I'm sure it is a million times harder!

After 4 hours on the lake, we went over to Anew Start: rejuvenation center.
(A friend of Kim's is part owner and gave us a great deal)


We had a detoxing foot bath (everyone's water started CLEAR and after 30 minutes of detoxification, it looked like Amy's)

infrared massage bed (the white wand you see on top was used to target areas of that were in pain or that you may have strained)

infrared sauna (picture taken after it had cooled off)

butt jiggler (don't know the official name but a 10 minute jiggle is supposedly the same as 45 minutes of jumping on a trampoline)

They had also had a large spread of food for us to eat during the 3 1/2 hours we were there. It was amazingly relaxing!

After Papa Johns for dinner, we hung around Kim's house eating cookies, playing cards, and watching the Olympics. Of course no day was ever complete without watching the two youtube links below AT LEAST 10 times.

Grape Stomp
and
Climber

We all woke up sore on Sunday morning and made it to Stake Conference. After which we ate a quick bite and left for the airport around 1:30 and were on our way home. It was a little hard to navigate through the airport and plane since we were all ACHINGLY SORE from the day before. But the bottom line.... IT WAS SO MUCH DANG FUN! I love my sisters (including in-laws). We always have so much fun! I can't wait for the next laughfest!
