Utah

It is soooooo good to be back in Utah.  Okay, really it is a tad bitter sweet... but I won't get into that.  Here is glimpse of our last few days.
Friday... we drove 700+ miles
All in all the kids did great
despite a 30 minute stretch where Bug and BB both screamed simultaneously (poor H, sitting in-between them, we thought for sure he might loose it too, but he stayed happy!!)
Got to my sisters around 1am, with 3 sleeping little buddies
Tucked everyone in and crashed ourselves

Saturday and Sunday
Birthday party
trip to Costco
Dinner party to see some friends
mini birthday celebration (thanks to Kira) for H and Bug
Church
Brunch at Porcupine
Family time with my sister and her girls, and Mr. Steady's brother
Game time
Baby Shower for a friend
Small group
Sweet prayer time with friends

It has been a busy last 2 days!  I am trying to soak it all in... every conversation, each little person that has grown and changed in the last year, each color of leaf, the AMAZING mountains, the giggle of cousins, growing pregnant bellies of friends that didn't think they would ever be pregnant, the heaviness of real life, the beauty of Utah sunsets, the encouragement of friends... the last two days have been packed full!

Some of the beauty we have experienced...
