We're home!

We are back and happy to be in our own beds again. The girls and I were recovering from bad colds when we left, but we were all healthy and enjoyed our time in Utah...until the last day. Apparently, the strain of colds on our trip wasn't the same, so we brought back a sick Miss M, and my husband and I are struggling with sore throats and sniffles. Ugh. I really feel badly for him having to work when he's not feeling well. The last thing I feel like doing when I am sick is staying up late, and he has to do that AND go to work.

We are extremely grateful we left before a storm dumped half a foot on the valleys where we were, and came home to beautiful, warm sunshine here. I've been busy in the garden and it feels so good to be outside in the yard.

For your entertainment, here are a few highlights from the trip...


Miss M during the family Easter egg hunt.


The reason I love this area (besides family)...the mountains. (My husband told me there was a mountain here before he brought me out to live here. He just failed to mention it would take me THREE WEEKS to find it because of the clouds!)


Our girls with my high school best friend's kids...during our traditional trip to our favorite pizza place.


Visiting Mom. It stinks to have to "go see her" this way. I am grateful to know she isn't really there.


All the cousins (minus one) on my side of the family. I have some cute nieces and nephews. :)

It makes me sad to see you at the cemetary. I'm so sorry about your mom--still.

The rest of the trip sounds really fun and eventful and delicious. Yum! I love brain washing my kids at BYU too. Did you get any choc. covered cinnamon bears?
