Our fun trip to Utah to be with the kids....

Watching the girls take their first ride. Kennedi did a great job in a very short time driving the truck in out and around any obstructions. Made for a fun time. The girls loved the 'truck' even though it wasn't pink...ha ha ha!!! Marley was just happy to ride and turn on the radio as Kennedi drove her all over the place.
Fun welcoming message chalked onto the driveway for our arrival...cute
We met up with Jen and Cory and head on our way to UT stopping for a short break in Colorado
Jen with her sweet spoiled, Munch, who didn't like her momma and daddy to be gone all week! Someone has an attitude and is very headstrong. She was sooo happy when they got home.
Enjoying a rare gathering after a wonderful surprise (and I mean surprise!) anniversary dinner with the kids at a lovely Italian restuarant with great food, lovely atmosphere, terrific service and the best company ever!! Thanks Cory for planning - and everyone for uniting for the event, it meant the world to us!! Such a wonderful treat

Pretty girls in their new outfits
Random pics from our days playing outside


YES...we get to go to ride the carousel, one of our favorite passtimes since Kennedi was little and now Marley loves it too.
Nothing feels better than cooling off in water on a hot summer day...



Our day at Millcreek eating, playing in the freezing water, playing games (some people are so competitive!hee hee) taking walks, laughing and getting perfectly dirty.
Pretty girls together again....love it!
Marley affectionately calls auntie Ell, 'T Ell' she loves her t' Ell!
Welcoming the new day out on the deck every morning, so cool and pleasant and extra cozy with one of our favorite girls to snuggle with.
Husking corn on the cob with Mamaw on the deck in the wind! So much wind during our visit. the girls loved husking the corn. Marley kept saying, 'pull' so we kept on 'pulling' the husks off. Watching the girls at the splash park near their home

Playing games at Millcreek...

In the end we stayed up way too late most nights, ate far too much, laughed at everything, tried to cram in all the activities we could and loved every minute of it!! Miss you all wish I could say good-bye with a little more grace but then that wouldn't be me now would it???!
