To Utah for a Wedding


A 
Tea Party 
bridal shower for the Bride-to-be
 Carolyn, Grandma Katie, and my aunt Claudia


 Using grandma's special china

In honor of the Tea Party theme we all wore my grandma's old hats 

Grandma, mother, and daughter


The wedding ceremony, reception, dinner, etc were absolute perfection. 
Macy and Richie were just glowing and I couldn't be happier for them.

(I didn't take any pictures at the events because my hands were full with my girlies.)
(Jayson was in Cabo, so I was on my own)


Since Jayson was enjoying his own vacation, and was coming home only to go on another trip, I wasn't in a hurry to get back to ID. We enjoyed our time in UT and got to spend a lot of time with the Lundeen family (they are living with my parents this summer for an internship). Unfortunately Miss Savannah and Miss Serelle were a bit naughty together and had to be watched constantly.
Naughtiness Act #1 they covered my parent's closet floor, drawers and clothes in lotion.
Naughtiness Act #2 while "taking a nap" together they ripped apart all pages to all the children's books in the room.
Savannah also had a few nights where she had too much sugar and stayed up too late meaning the only way to calm down and go to sleep was for me to physically hold her down while she was kicking and screaming. One night it took an hour!

We needed a bit of a cousin break and headed North to hang out with our favorite Grammy. She took us to Eden to play in the pool.
 This face would never be naughty


This is my water baby! She could just float for hours.
And with the attached rope, she never got too far away. 

 This lady loves dress up!
(And don't you want to just pinch those thighs?!)



Jen and I took Poppi to his favorite restaurant Me Kong for his birthday


Both Mimi and Poppi had all 5 grand-girls at their birthday celebrations



Unpictured were many great memories, including; a swim date at the Mattingly's, birthday pedicures with my mom, Park City shopping, seeing the newly-engaged Alisha for a few minutes, catching up with Marcie and baby Adrie, catching up with Erin and baby Boston, girls night out with my besties from NE, 10:30 pm In N Out burgers, watching the Centerville fire, a couple of failed attempts at restaurants with 2 kiddos (notice they were absent from Poppi's birthday lunch), a day at the lake- where Savannah was so brave. She was nervous to get on the boat, but ended up riding on the tube with mama!, a bit of shopping, an ounce of exercise, and a whole lot of delicious food.  We had a fabulous time, but missed our daddy terribly and were very ready to come home!

Grammy and Grandpa Clark

 Such a tender man.
We sure love our Grandpa Clark!

 Jay Dee and Coleen were in town for Mother's Day
(with about half of the grandkids)

Such lucky girls to have such wonderful grandparents

Boise Zoo

We finally made it to the Boise Zoo! I knew it was no Henry Doorly Zoo, but we had to check it out. Turns out, the Boise Zoo is pretty good. We went with cousins, so the girls were in heaven with all the attention that was being paid to them. Sophie was extremely popular with the older cousins and it was sweet to see them argue about who got to hold her. Savannah loved running around and showing me all the animals. It was a beautiful day and a great way to spend a Thursday.

 TJ, Taylie, Savannah, Tylor, Ray, and Coleton
and a red fox
 A ginormous lizard

 Sophie didn't say much, but had a lot to show everyone.



 Zebras

 Penguins


 Giraffes


 The petting zoo was a hit and the kids loved feeding the goats
