I had a free travel voucher that expired this November, so I just had to take a trip to see family! I flew in late Friday night, November 5. Nic picked me up from the airport telling me that I had my work cut out for me - my time was all planned out by Brooklyn. He told me that she had drawn a picture of all the things that " The Nana was going to do with them when [I] got there." So on Saturday when Brooklyn woke up I asked her to show me her picture. How adorable that she had drawn pictures of :

*Movie Night - in the basement with popcorn in our pj's
*Reading stories
*Baking cookies
*Going to the toy store
*Having a party
*Shopping for shoes (even though none were needed! Is she 4 or 14?)
*Going to the 'rec' center to swim!

While in Utah I also got to sneak in on the surprise party for my dad's 75th birthday. You'd never know that he was 75! He acts like a 50 year old! (Yes, that would be younger than me!) He is still so young and active; he is very inspiring!

I spent a Sunday in Idaho with my parents and visited the Clarks in Soda Springs as well.
Then headed back to Utah to enjoy a day and a half with most of my sisters.

Wednesday I enjoyed tackling that list with Brooklyn, Camryn, and Kendyl!
