St. George

I was lucky enough to get to have a mini vacation this last weekend.  This year we were able to get a few more family members to go.  It was me, my dad, Kell, Kaydee, Linden and Michelle.  Linden and Michelle were kind enough to let us use their time share and they drove their van.  Brad didn't feel like he could take off work, so he stayed home and held down the fort.  We headed out Friday morning.  We stopped in Utah for lunch at Zupas.  Yes my favorite spot.  We got there around 6 pm.  It was a good drive.  We got half way through the movie Hunger Games.
We got settled in our Condo and headed out to the showing of Alladin at the Tuacahn theatres.  It started at 8:15 and went until about 11.  We were pretty exhausted of sitting which might have hampered our show just a little.  It was still great.  Great dancing, effects, and performance.  We were just beat when it was over.  Kaydee and Kell and I shared a big King bed.  That was fun.  We did lots of laughing, like pee your pants laughing.  I won't mention any names.  My Dad got the Murphy bed and Linden and Michelle got a room.  There were 2 bathrooms and huge closets so we used the closets as dressing rooms.  Kell learned that she should always knock first.  Hahahaha. 
Saturday we got up and made ourselves some delicious breakfast sandwiches.  We headed out to the pool and did some sunning and swimming.  After we were a bit toasty, we headed back in to get ready to hit the town.  We went to dinner at Samuri 21, Hibatchi style.  It was fun and super yummy.  Kell realized she doesn't love Terriyaki.  We then headed to our favorite cupcake store The Sweet Toothfairy and then to Neilson's custard.  We took some our goodies to the room to save for later after the show.  We love to save our goodies and eat them in bed in the middle of night, because we are on vacation and we can.  Hairspray was playing at Tuacahn so we headed out there.  It was my favorite of the two.  I laughed a lot. 
Sunday we spent shopping.  Not a lot of spending, but a lot of looking.  Kell and I were on a mission to buy ourselves a new bra.  That lady must have thought we were crazy trying on bras in the same room but we accomplished our mission. 
We hit 5 guys and fries for lunch.  We just shared our food so we could save up for Olive Garden dinner.  After shopping, we headed back to take a quick siesta and get Linden.  He stayed in to get some work finished.  Oh, while we were out, we found this chocolate store that sells the most wonderful Raspberry Caramels dipped in chocolate. 
Monday morning we woke up and got on the road around 10.  I was able to finish Hunger Games.  It was a great movie.  I will have to read the books now.  I know, a bit backwards. The drive was good.  We were all wishing we could have one more day.  But that isn't how it works.  We made it home around 5 which gave us all plenty of time to get things together for the week. 
Thanks everyone for the wonderful time.  Let's keep up the tradition. 

School catch up

Blogger has been really stinky on my phone lately so I finally have a chance to get to my computer.  Here are the last week of school days for Livee.

 

 BODIES

She was so excited about the rag doll salad.  They used lettuce for the dress, carrots-arms and legs, olives were hands and feet, a tomato body with some raisin eyes. 

 

 

FAMILIES

 

 

 

Livee LOVED her place mat.  It showed where everything went.  She came right home and used it for lunch.

 

FRIENDS

 

They made these cute friendship bracelets for each other.  They also made a fun friendship snack.  They each got a sack of something like gummy bears, m&m's, cheerios, raisins, marshmallows, and nuts.  They each put their sack in the bowl and stirred it up and took a bag full of the mix home. 

 

Livee LOVES going to school.  It is the highlight of her life right now.  I love that she is not only learning scholastic stuff but great life lessons too. 

 

Going Going

I am looking forward to my friday of not going anywhere.  I did have volleyball this morning but once kids are off to school, I don't have much the rest of the day.  Here is an example of my week. This was yesterday:
