Trip to UT! (Long Post...but worth it!)

We had so much fun in Utah these past two weeks! We celebrated Marsh's 5th Birthday, went to St. George, shocking surprise party for me......(but so fun to see long time friends),had family pictures, took cabin trips and even had a little "girl's night out--no kids" with my mom and sisters! It went by sooo fast and I just want to thank both of our families for making it such a fun and relaxing trip for all of us!......When can we come back???? Marshall getting ready for his SpongeBob party
Here is the SpongeBob cake that we made.....and my sis Care made the 'Patrick ' cookies
We had so much fun in St. George hanging out at the pool and letting the kids play in the water while my dad and Marshall golfed non stop!
Cute niece McKenlie posing for me
Best buds Marshall and Belle hangin out at the pool!
Water fun with Grammy in St. George
My mom and I took the kids to see the 3D version of "Up".....hence the glasses!
My mom threw me a surprise b-day party while we were in town, and there were a lot of yummy eats and treats and great friends who I don't ever get to see! Thanks everyone for embarassing me and a great celebration!:)
Yummy chocolate cake that my mom had for my party...and yes the cake says: "Uh oh, the big 30!".......I was quite embarassed and very surprised!
It was a great surprise and I am so gullible so it worked perfectly! (friends Danica and Alex)
One of my Dad's favorite things to do at the cabin is catch lizards and snakes....so proud!
Marshall even wanted to touch the snake.....good thing Aunt Caroline wasn't there to behold the snake.
Quick trip but so fun to spend a Sunday up there watching my Dad, Marshall and Grant catch a snake.
We went up to my in law's cabin for a few days and waterskied, played volleyball, went four wheeling, ate and ate......and ate---and relaxed......good times had by all. :)
Group huddle for plans to win the game
Marsh and Savana goin' for a ride

I am sorry that I missed your birthday, but we were at Scott's family reunion that we were in charge of this year. I was so sad I couldn't see you.

I'm so bummed that I missed your surprise party. I called your mom just a few days before and told her I would be there, but I had a very VERY bad day that day with my kiddos, so I wasn't able to come. I sure hope it was fun and I was really looking forward to seeing you after so many years. Happy belated birthday Kel. The 30's really aren't that bad! LOL

Sounds like you guys did a lot in a short amount of time. That's so fun that you got to spend so much time with family. Now that you are back we totally will have to get together or have you over. I think I was near your house yesterday. I was at Smith Memorial park. I think it's inside of Fairmont park. Talk to you soon.

Also, your hair is getting so long and you look amazing!!! When I left you- you looked fit, but for some reason you look even fitter... you look beautiful.
