Family are Friends

Haley’s 70s Party – where’s Haley?This past weekend I went to Utah for a visit. The night before we were to leave, Mason came down with chills and a headache so Stephen and him had to stay home. This made our little travel into a girls getaway. We (Lex, Lily, Livvy, and me) had loads of fun screaming out Disney Mania songs the whole way and being totally girly. When we got to Utah we ate at European Connection(according to Stephen – a girl place to eat). Alexis was able to go to Haley’s 70s Birthday Party. She had loads of fun and even came home with a tie dye shirt. Lily loved playing with Jessie. My favorite part about the party was Uncle John’s red parachute pants – what a fun dad. After that we went and ate pizza and played at Lance and Anne’s house. Our purpose for going down was to see Sami get baptized Saturday. She did and it was a special day. (For some reason I didn’t get a picture on my camera of this – bummer) I love to be a part of these events that help remind us of why we are here. We went to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes with everyone from the baptism and then me and my girls ventured over to IKEA. Yeah! It is always a treat to go there – even in its enormity. We then drove to Orem to see my parents we went to “Bee Movie” with them. Sunday we woke up and drove to my sister Michelle’s house and attended church with them. It was Carter’s birthday and he was ordained a priest. We were so lucky to be able to join with them for such a wonderful event. After church we went to Brian and Michelle’s for lunch and visiting with Brad, Amy and family. It was much fun for me! I came home so happy and optimistic! I really enjoy going to Salt Lake City – it is my nostalgia kicking in from days gone by. Mostly I just love visiting my Family who are also my FRIENDS!
