Utah Recap

We'll we did it. We spent just under a month in Utah. I'm so glad we went, but I'm so glad to be home. 

This year was beyond amazing compared to last year. The girls were older and even though I worked I felt like it went much better. My mom was amazing this year, she really had the grandma thing down. She had fun activities planned, had food, and was just relaxed around the girls. Don'g get me wrong, she struggled at times and even  made Sydney cry and made her say "I want to go home" but honestly she was amazing. I can't recap all we did but  here is a quick list:

Zoo

Aquarium

Shopping

Grand America Brunch

Park City

Walking

The Parks

Spoiling the girl with clothes

Lots of Peppa Pig 

Baths

Hanging out with Melynda and Niesha and Maren and Allison. 

Worked and finished an online class. 

The only sad thing was that London had massive skin issues, had a cut on her little butt crack and we watched as she constantly scratched  herself. It was so sad. We tried creams, giving her showers and although the butt crack thing healed, her overall skin seems really rough. I'm thinking she might be allergic, so I'll have to have her tested when we get home. 

The funnest time was when we got to spend an entire day just with mom and fredy at Park City. It was amazing and we had such a bonding time doing the adventure course. 

We headed to Logan after and the girls got to spend two days just with Grandma and Papa Gerber. They loved it. They loved chi chi and all the toys. We stayed in Logan and Sydney met her new best friend - Oaklen. She was just in love and played for hours and hours with him. 

Working In Utah was really tricky. I would honestly get up around 5 amto work in SLC and then during naps. I also finished a course on 1ShoppingCart which took 7 hours to watch. There were days when I felt like I could not do the working mother thing, but then I focused on my goals and got back on the horse. At Logan Tyson helped me go out to coffee shops to work and it really helped. 

Tyson worked in Logan toward taking stuff out of his old room and really struggled with it but is doing much much better once he stopped. 

I missed Tyson a lot and it was a good reminder of how much we do together as  couple and how much we rely on each other. I love him and I'm so happy to have him as my husband.

Family Photos 2014

We took family photos when we went down to Utah. It was super fun but also stressful with so many little kids, plus it was at 6 pm so close to bedtime. Everyone went to eat after but Ty and I took the girls home to sleep. We did it at a cemetery funny enough. We also got some headshots for my VA business. Everyone said Tyson looked like he was praying :)

Its funny how much our family has grown. All the kids are married and how have kids of their own. My mom's once little lost family is a full grown legacy. This years trip was really pretty great. Working during Utah was a big learning curve and I quickly realized the value of getting up really early and starting to work at 5 am.

Many blessings.

We have seen The Lord bless us a lot the last couple of weeks. I want to write it down so I don't forget. 

I was picked for the implementer a club by Tina Forsyth. It's a $2000 program and I get it for free

Sydney was on fox 31 news and got two free balance bikes that a therapist had recommended two weeks prior. 

It's the little things that make us grateful for what we have. 

Family Fun Day

1. Went to Hammond's candy factory tour. 

2. Walked around the park and played in the playground. 

3. Cafe Rio for a free lunch after a gift card. 

Back home for naps. I love that Tyson has a Monday off. The only sad thing is that the temples are closed. We love going out and missing all the Saturday traffic.
