The Kitchen Family

the month of ST. GEORGE
 July 24th - August 23rd

  PART TWO

 Once the Kitchen's were in town things got much busier, bouncing back and forth, having non-stop FUN.

 

  Wednesday were our "Great Grandma Sheryl" play days. The boys went right to the BIRD to feed him crackers. We had water fights and lunchables and played Hungry Hippos and OF COURSE we put beanie babies on the fan and turned it on so it could rain beanie babies. Not sure when Grandma Sheryl started that, but we will be doing it until the day she dies I'm sure. :)

 Visits at Grandpas work!

 Not too many Grandpas have trucks and scopes and lights and locks and tape measures to play with in their office.

 That night we had a girls NIGHT! We went to a maxi skirt party then to the Sweet Tooth Fairy! OH MY, CUPSHAKES are amazing! Thanks Em, for introducing me.

Grandpa was on babysitting duty and the boys had a BLAST.

 Lunch picnics at Nisson's park always end with being soaked. 

That's always how it should be. :)

 One evening we picked up sweet Phil Hulme and had Cafe Rio at my parents. His sweet wife Lois is dearly missed by us all and always will be. I just love Phil! I hope to see him again...

 There was lots of dress ups and iPad playing and tie dye pancake making in the month we were there.

SOOOOOO happy that we had so much play time with Loni and Adyn. If only we were neighbors.... One day!

 KAYAKS ARE THE BEST!

So I have a new obsession. These babies.

SOOO much fun. Such a good relaxing work out. The boys were in love right away. Cohen hopped right in and rowed to the middle of the lake be himself. That's my boy!

 Ivins reservoir is beautiful and small and private, 

it was like our own hide away. 

 

We were so lucky to be in town for sweet baby Adyn's 2nd birthday! So much fun to see all his family and party with him at Jumpin' Jacks.

 That night we had a MOVIE NIGHT at my parents, we projected Wreck it Ralph on the wall with LOTS of popcorn and candy to feed us all for days.

 Uncle Matt is the best play mate!

  Exercising was so easy and fun on our trip! I had babysitters every morning that I could go run with Cassidee Torres and go biking with my mama. One of my favorite mornings was our long bike ride around the Ivin's loop. GORGEOUS red rocks.

 The boys went non-stop and only held still when they were drawing on the chalk board or being read a book.

Also, I just had to try my wedding dress on, just to see it again. I BARELY was able to squeeze in it. YIKES that thing was tight!

 Em is GORGEOUS and Brend is snuggly. :)

 Farkle and airplane rides galore!

Oh, and by the way..... Face Time just doesn't do it for a month!

I missed my Brock badly. So badly. I just wanted him to hug me and hold me pretty much every night when I had to sleep alone.

He worked his heart out during his Pediatric Ortho Rotation in Phoenix. So proud of him!
