Utah Trip...Second Half

For the last few days we were in Utah, we stayed with my mom's parents, Grandma and Paco. It was so much fun going back to places I spent so much time as a kid. Almost the first thing we did was go out and jump on the "tramp".

We had a fun family barbecue, and I saw cousins I hadn't seen for years it seemed. It was great fun!, and Kadie and Laney loved having some cousins to play with.

The next day, we went down to my mom's sister A 's place. She commissioned me to do a painting for her front room, and it turned out so awesome and colorful!

Her little Cole entertained us by, 1). showing us his lizard, 2) catching a butterfly in the yard, and then 3) feeding the butterfly to his lizard! Kadie and Laney got a kick out of it.

It is a fun summer memory watching the humming birds drink sugar water outside the front window. I loved having the girls get excited about it this year!

The next day we went up to the "P". Or the "peep" as Laney called it. Any of you who have been to Alpine may have seen it. It has been there since I can remember, the letter of my mom's last name. It lays on the hill, bright white and standing for all of the hard work my great grandparents and grandparents put into their farm and land. Of course, it doubles as a slide!

Everyone wanted to try on Paco's hat. Check out these cowgirls...and cowboy.

Grandma was so nice to get Kadie an early birthday present for her upcoming 6th birthday! A little horse from Cabela's that Kadie named Spot. Kadie requested a cape, so grandma just whipped up a little cape and saddle in her sewing room. Kadie even put earrings in her horse's ears! Thank you for letting us stay Grandma and Paco! We had so much fun and miss you already!

We went the last day and saw my Dad's parents. They are the cutest little couple ever. I just love my grandma Laney's information on the entire family. I don't know how she keeps it straight with so many grand kids and great grand kids. They will be out this next weekend to California to visit, and we can't wait to spend more time with them!
