The girls and I got to spend a few days visiting our family in Utah. My Mom came down as well and we had a great time catching up with loved ones. I love visiting family it brings me so much joy. Part of me wishes that we all lived in the same town so we could have big Sunday dinners, but the other part knows that we all need our own wings to fly to our own place in this world.
Isn't my Grandpa cute...I think so.
We visited my Grandparents home...it is looking run down these days but it is still one of my favorite places in the world for all the memories it holds.
On Sunday we went to my Aunt Robyn's ward where my mom and 2 of her sisters sang. It was beautiful...I love how siblings can harmonize. After church we ate dinner at Aunt Robyn's new house. The girls loved having Great-Grandma read them stories.
We played and sang for Grandpa.
We stayed with my Aunt Wendy and her family. She was marvelous and did crafts with my girls and filled up the pool to let them play and cool off. She also let me quilt my moms quilt on her big machine...it was awesome.
This quilt has been a work in progress for way to long so I am glad to have it finished.
We helped celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. We went to the Utah Noodle Parlor...the food in my opinion was not super but it was a place my grandparents used to go in their younger days and they loved it so my mediocre meal was worth it. Emma thought her great-grandma needed a wand for her gift so Aunt Wendy and my Mom helped the girls make one. It was a special treat to have my Mom's childhood friend Barbara join us for the birthday lunch.
My girls had fun chasing cousin Ogden around and using him as a horsey. We went with my Aunt Emilee to an activity at the church where we made necklaces out of metal washers.
We also went to Aunt Emilee's house where Emma got her very own sock monkey...her name is Daisy and she is a construction monkey. Allison has one already who is named Penelope and she is a princess. The girls loved playing with all the fun handcrafted toys and of course they loved the bunnies and dogs.
The girls got some birthday money from their Great-Grandparents and they put it to good use. Emma bought herself a scooter and Allison finally got a little sewing machine. Allison also got to go school clothes shopping with Grandma when she drove back with us to San Diego.

Thanks for the pictures. Grandpa is a cutie! When I saw the house picture, I wanted to buy it and fix it up. It just makes me so sad.
