Heber Weekend...

The kids and I went up visit my brother Jeff's family in Heber last weekend. We seriously had the time of our lives (we did miss Dustin, who had to work). My sweetie niece Cortnie's birthday was Friday, it was so fun to celebrate with her! I can't believe she is 11, isn't she beautiful?

On Saturday we got up early and hit a few yard sales. Check out the deal of the day I got for Hudson...for $10!
Hudson's new Favorite Uncle Jeff put a brand-new 4-wheeler battery in it for him and it screams! He has been in absolute heaven with it ever since... He gave Preslie and the others lots of rides, but he had to be the driver!

After that the girls hit Swiss Days. I can't believe I've never been before, it was awesome! (although, as slowly it has come to light just exactly how bad I blew my budget, Dustin says it was my first and last trip...good thing I have a full year to change his mind) Tons of booths with everything fun you could imagine. We were too busy enjoying our selves to take any pictures, but it was a blast. Special thanks to Jami and Cortnie for the awesome babysitting!

We stayed in Heber until Monday and then cut the 5 hour drive home in half by stopping in Logan for a birthday lunch for Grandma Marcia and my adorable niece McKenna. McKenna is at Disneyland today for her 6th birthday, I am so excited for her I can hardly stand it!
Have a happy birthday with the princesses, McKenna!

Other highlights of the weekend included:

Fun deal-finding afternoon at the outlets in Park City
Jill's delicious pork tacos

Late-night soccer game "under the lights" in Jeff's backyard, followed by a raucous game of Add-On, tricks included the "In-air Shimmy" and Jeff's "Gassy-moon-walk."

Meeting minor scrap-booking celebrity Wendy Sue Anderson at Jeff's ward!


Fun horse ride Monday morning with Jeff and Cortnie, she is a great little cowgirl, I was so proud of how she handled her nervous horse...

Jeff let Tayler and Kennedy ride around on Bo for a while, too. They loved it. They are just two little peas in a pod. Don't they look so cute in their matching outfits? They love to be twinners!


Playing with Jeff's cutest little puppy Zeke. He's just like the Heeler we had growing up, so fun!

And the kids got to come home to a fun surprise from Daddy: the new sand box! What a guy! No wonder we missed him so much!

  3. What a fun weekend. I can't believe how Jeff looks just like your dad in the picture with Tayler and Kennedy. Glad you had such a great time.

  4. We've never heard of Swiss Days. We should check it out. We were actually driving through Heber on Sunday on our way back from Peach Days. Gotta love Utah and all these special days!

  5. Oh yeah. We call dibs on the four-wheeler when Hudson out-grows it. Tayson can't get enough of his four-wheeler and we're going to have to keep upgrading as he gets bigger.
