trip, trip, trip.

 ok, so first off a little housekeeping.......


{kylee} you know how much i super love you!  we didn't get to see some people that we really wanted to.......and of course, you are one of them!  next trip, for sure. 


{kim} it's so nice to be missed!  thank u, thank u!  :)


{katie} i loved milagro's.  will said he would go there again - which is big for him.....hah!  we did go to the one there by the hotel, we passed by it lots and had to try it out.  i had the seafood tacos (one shrimp and one fish) and the sweet rice yumm-o.  will had the enchiladas.  but, we don't want you to go without us. lol.


{lindsee} be confused no more!!!!  we were in both utah and arizona!  good call.  we had every intention of seeing you and your family, but, we didn't have enough time (and) we were pretty wiped out from utah. 
here's the proof: 

we were in utah to attend a funeral and celebrate the life of our granin.  we had an amazing time with all of our family (which we don't have any pictures of - well i do have one of nate in his spanx, but it is just for me and will when we need to laugh, ok, let's be honest, i'll probably share with nate's sister, jordin who is on her mission. lol)

then, we decided to drive to arizona and stop at the grand canyon on the way.  it was awesome, so worth it, but freezing cold.  snow on the ground.  did you know the grand canyon has an elevation of like 7,000 feet?!?!? i didn't and i was cold, and so were my kids.

then, after having a blast in arizona, we decided to drive all the way home from phoenix in one day.  24 hours (after being delayed in a snow storm. ugh) anyway i was so excited to drive over the new bridge over hoover dam.  i got my camera all ready and took a picture of the bridge before the bridge and we get to hoover dam and see a cement wall.  no dam view, no dam bridge view. awesome:

all in all a good trip........the boys did great in the car, but 2 weeks was a wee bit too long for them!  :)
