Utah Trip

We just got back from a three week trip to Utah.  It was a blast, and everytime we go home we find it harder to come back to Texas.  This time was especially hard.  Anyway, here are the details.  My mom came down the week before we went up.  She didn't know we were going to be coming up.  She turned 50 on the 4th, so we flew up as a surprise gift.  Well, she didn't know the surprises were going to keep on coming.  That next weekend my sister's and I threw her a surprise party.  She was an absolute pain to get up to Northern Utah, but I prevailed and got her up there.  She was surprised to say the least.  We had so much fun seeing family come and celebrate my mom.  Mom you're fabulous, and your hot too!  Love you lots.  Nick came up that weekend for the party, and was able to take 12 days off.  (never happens btw).  We spent the net two weeks with Nick's family.  It's always great to be with the Staples'.  They are wonderful to us, and always let us have a place to crash and cars to steal from them.  Scott and Susan rented a cabin up in Heber for the whole family (15 of us now) to go spend the weekend.  It was absoulutely beautiful in Utah.  The mountains were turning and time with the family was great.  We celebrated Nick becoming a CPC.  We played games, had a dance party, had the 3rd annual Staples Egg-Mazing Race (usually held during Easter but postponed so the Texans could participate).  My team won.  No thanks to the huge crash that I took while running through the forest.  Yes, some things never change.  I'm clumsy.  We also ate so much good food.  It was a great weekend.  On the last day there was one minor accident that took Nick, Sawyer and Me to Primary Children's to get Sawyer a glued forehead.  The cut was so small they did glue instead of stitches.  He's a total boy and cried for about 5 minutes and was completely fine after that.  Anyway, the last week I spent a couple of days with my sister Holly.  She keeps asking when we are moving back to Utah, because "it would be so much fun to live by each other."  I couldn't agree more.  It was a great vacation.
