Utah Trip Highlights!

I posted a few post of our time in Utah before, but here is more. I feel like the time just flew by, especially once Bryson flew in. Like I said before, I spent most of the time at my parents or my sister Brooke's. It was nice to just relax and play with all the kiddos. I got in lots of cuddling time with Vienna. I sure hope my little girl is as good as her. I was also able to stop by my old school and see some friends! I was even able to attend two of my friends weddings!

In a previous post I mentioned making crayon rolls for all my nieces and nephews. I made sure to finish them in time to give them out on Sunday. I completed and bought all the crayons and then forgot to give them out! (that is basically my brain now days) Tuesday and Wednesday I was able to go over and deliver all of them. I'm glad I forgot because it gave me a chance to be with each family one on one. Akoy got to play with specific cousins instead of having everyone all over at once. I am really glad I got that time with each of my siblings/inlaws (girls). One night we even went on a walk with one of my older brothers while his wife taught piano lessons. Great times! These days were one of my favorite days of the trip (that is before Bryson came) 


Bryson flew in Thursday morning. It was so good to see him! Two weeks with out my hubby is just too long! Bryson stopped at kneaders on the way home from the airport to get some of their delicous French Toast! We got back to my parents, and I wish I could have recorded Akoys reaction. (I left him home sleeping while I picked up Bryson) He was SOOO excited to see his daddy! He gave him the biggest/longest hug I have seen ever! He sure missed his dad. We just hung out/took naps and then headed over to my friend Amber's house for a delicious dinner! We made pizza's on the grill! I will definitely be trying that again!

Hanging out with Uncle Bronson

Friday morning we set forth on a short road trip! Bryson's dad wanted us to go trade a car up in Treemoton. We put a movie on for Akoy and enjoyed our trip! It was two hours each way. We drove one of the new Acadia Denalis and they sure are nice cars! Maybe one day... ha :) One the way back we stopped at In and Out! So yummy! That night we got together with some of my old high school friends. I didn't get to see everybody because we left early but it was nice to catch up with some! 

The rest the trip we just hung out with our families and spend time with them.   I'm sure we ran a few errands and eat out. Saturday night we saw Thor with Gregory's. I had no idea what it would be about, so I was pretty impressed and liked the show. We stayed at Gregory's while Bryson was in town. Akoy loved getting up in the mornings and finding either his aunt/unlcles or grandparents! He has had some withdrawals from them.

Hanging out at the Dealership

 Monday night we went to Tepyanaki with my parents. It's a tradition for my bday every year. It's one of my favorite places! Both my sisters and all three of my little brothers came. It was so good to spend some time with them. After dinner we went back to my parents and Bryson wrestled with my brothers. It was pretty entertaining to watch. 

Sorry Matt, I had to put the picture when Bryson was winning. (It was a tie, matt's knees started to bleed)

Sisters and Dad

Three 'little' boys

Our trip to Utah consisted eating out a lot :) Chick-Fila, In & Out, Kneaders, Cafe Rio, Tepyanaki, Snoasis, Krispy Kreme, Applebees, Texas Roadhouse, Paradise Bakery and of course the newly remolded McDonald's for the kiddos. Needless to say, I gained a few lbs! Before our trip, I had lost a pound at one doctors appointment, and he got mad at me, so he should be happy now! ha.

All in all, it was a great trip! We didn't get everything done, but did a lot. I never got to see the family I used to babysit for, and I felt really bad about that, I miss those kids. I was trying to wait for Bryson, because the boys love him, and then we just got to busy! 


Now it is back to reality of not eating out and back to everyday life. But I am okay with that. I missed my schedule and being in my own home and our friends in Lincoln. 


Bryson starts his internship on Monday at the Attorney Generals office! It should be a fun summer! :)
