We love visitors

A couple of weeks ago we had some family come visit us!  We love visitors!  My brother Tim, his wife, Katie, and their 2 boys, Chase & Riley, spent a few days with us and we had lots of fun!  Since I took so many pictures I decided to make some collages to show what we did.

Played around the house with these 2 cute boys!

Went to the downtown splash pad & carousel.  I think these photos turned out so cute!

Had a bbq & s'more night.

We also went swimming, shopping & took the boys to see the temple.  Also, I know in the above photo I am showin a little leg, haha... it's because we had just gone swimming!

A few things about the boys... Riley loved having me help him and whenever I picked him up he loved to touch my hair.  It was so funny.  He would also say to me often "I play anga birds on your phone."  So super cute!  Chase is one of the smartest 4 year olds I know.  He told us all about dinosaurs and said he likes to "explore, investigate and discover!"  He wants to be a doctor when he grows up and knows more about the human body than I do.

We had a great weekend!  Thanks for the visit!

the twins

Below in my City Creek post I said I didn't have any baby blessing photos, but now I do!  So here they are... pictures from our twin nephew's baby blessings.

The happy family!

Us with the sweet twins, Jamis & Tanner.

With big brother, Mason.  He is a fabulous big brother!

We're so happy we were able to visit family up north and be there for this special day!

Summer!!!

It's here!  I survived the whole school year!  There were days where I wasn't sure I would make it :).  I am soooo excited.  Time for vacation, relaxing, flip flops, popsicles, pool days and finishing up all of my projects.  Hooray!

City Creek

Last month while we were up in Northern Utah for our twin nephew's baby blessings (wish I had pictures to share) we also got to visit City Creek!  Seriously amazing!  It really made me wish it had been there when I had lived up there.  Especially when I worked downtown at Zions Bank.  I would have loved to be able to walk around it on my lunch breaks.  But no, back then I just tried to avoid the construction of what would one day be City Creek.

We first ate lunch at the Blue Lemon, which I thought was delicious!  Then we perused the stores.  I told Dan he should buy me a present at Tiffany's, but that didn't happen.  Still fun to window shop!

Here are my few photos of City Creek.  As you can see the place is filled with awesome water features.

Aside from having to wear jackets in April, we truly enjoyed the outdoor mall.

My sister, Jannifer, was our tour guide.  She works downtown and has been there a lot.  I was grateful she showed us around, that place is huge!

We'll be back, City Creek!

Yogurtland

I believe I have blogged about this lovely yogurt shop before... Yogurtland!  Yes, see my Las Vegas post and my Spring Break post (ok you really don't have to look back).  Both mention my most favorite yogurt shop ever.  I know there are a million frozen yogurt shops out there, but for some reason Yogurtland is my favorite.  They have awesome flavors and lots of toppings (fresh fruit is my favorite).  Any time we visit a city with a Yogurtland I make sure we stop there.  So anyway... why am I bringing this up again?  Because, great news... I just found out we are getting one in St. George!  I can't tell you how excited I am.  When I saw the signs in the store window I was literally jumping up and down in the parking lot (seriously, ask my brother and sister in law).  There was a time when I wanted a Yogurtland in St. George so much that I actually looked up how much it would cost to franchise one. Luckily someone else is footing that bill and I can just enjoy it in SG :).  I have a feeling I will be making weekly trips this summer.  Anyone wanna join me?

St. George now just needs a Zupas and I will probably live here forever.
