Welcome to Utah Mimi and Papa!!

One thing we know we are going to love about living in Utah is that it seems everyone has a reason to be here for something...no one EVER had a reason to be in Michigan for ANYTHING, so we are thrilled at the prospect of all the reconnecting we can do with old friends and our opportunities to see family.

We were thrilled to be here for the weekend Bryce and Lora blessed sweet baby Tagg. If attending the ordinance wasn't good enough, it meant that we would be able to be with Mimi, Papa, and Jenni and her family too. So, so great and something we haven't been able to do in over a year!

The fun started with swimming at Aunt Becky's!









Then a serious Cafe Rio feast before we started the very late BYU v. UTAH game. Too bad the outcome was not what we were hoping for.


Here is the darling Bryce and Lora Romney Family. It was so great to be there with them as they blessed this sweet baby boy!


Baby Tagg is just delicious!

After the blessing we headed to a park for the after party. It was so much fun to sit and chat with friends and family and eat all the yummy food. 

The Romney family!!
Inside this delectable looking cake is a WATERMELON! YUM! The frosting is whipped coconut cream. So good and so healthy too.


The family was also reunited with friends from Bellevue. So fun to play catch up!

After the blessing Mimi and Papa spent another day with Bryce and Lora and then came to Kaysville to visit us at our new home! We enjoyed every minute of the short couple of days.


The first afternoon they were here was a gorgeous day, so we went and played for HOURS at Boondocks. It was a wonderful afternoon full of fun. We mini-golfed...




Hit the batting cages...


Played arcade games, laser tag, and mini bowling until we were tired and starving!




They got to know little Pierce better since he was home all day. He loved his ride up the canyon with them...

He loved bringing them to music class...



And loved drinking Mimi's green smoothie.



We got to show off our very fun backyard and we picked the rest of our ripe pears with Papa.


The picked the boys up from school and took them out to lunch at Subway. Super cool, and Mimi took me on a little birthday shopping spree while Papa has a little more Papa and Pierce time.


Before they left, they helped the boys fill in bunches of the quarters they were missing...such a fun thing to do together!


We had so so so so much fun with them and cannot wait for them to join us again!
