UEA WEEKEND!!!!

We decided to spend UEA close to home. After hearing the idea from a friend, Joy and I decided to have a "Staycation" with the kids. Thursday we took the girls to Park City for the night.

My girls and I. (Hanna wasn't so excited about pictures!)

Joy and Haidyn

We shopped at the outlets, swam, and ate the best pizza.

Friday the girls swam some more and then we headed to Gardner Village.

Morgan and Ryanne got their hair colored for the day

Hanna even got her hair sprayed

We walked around, ate lunch and then had sleep overs at home that night.
Saturday we had a "Spa Day" for the little girls. Actually, everyone was invited. Jaxson wanted nothing to do with it and Morgan and Hanna decided a day with friends was more their style. So.....

Joy,being the over achiever that she is, had a wonderful lunch prepared when the girls arrived.

We washed their feet and gave them manicures and pedicures!

Then we applied a facial mask and cucumber slices.

The day would not have been complete without a visit from Ruby!

Good times!!!!!

Morgan!

Morgan is 13! I honestly can't believe how fast time goes by. Her birthday was on September 30th, but we had our family celebration today! Don't get me wrong, we have been celebrating since Wednesday. Wednesday Tim took her lunch at school, , I took her to dinner, and Karla made her a cake.

Morgan is one popular girl. Many birthday wishes have been expressed along with treats and gifts. Thank you to all. Morgan is such a beautiful, fun, energetic and loving young woman. (How weird is that to say?) At dinner Tim had everyone say something nice about her. Morgan is.....
nice
a great big sister
funny
a helper

has the best lips
beautiful
loving
fun
has great hair
loved by all


and...
Tim loves that even though she acts so "old" and "grown up," she still asks him to lay with her a night!



Tonight we partied with Grandma, aunts and uncles and cousins! Morgan wanted lasagna for dinner and chocolate cake for dessert. Totally do able!!!!
We love our Morgan!!

St. George Vaca!

I took my older girls to St. George for the weekend. We were joined by Brooke and her girls and Karla and Sarah. What a blast! We went to "Aida" at the Tuacahn. I have wanted to see "Aida" for a long time. The soundtrack has been a favorite of ours! I absolutely loved it. I owe many thanks to Carey and Dave for keeping Jaxson and the "little" girls. We are truly blessed. We have so many great friends!


Everyone ready and waiting for "Aida" to start!

All the girls with the cast of "Aida"

I got the privilege of sitting in the back with Sarah and Hanna. We were bored so we played my favorite game. I say a word and then take a picture of the girls making the first face that the word brings to mind. I can't remember the word, but you gotta love these faces!


Goofin' around!
Shoppin'

Thanks to all for so much fun!
