A couple weeks ago Kirk and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary. We drove up to Payson Tuesday night and stayed with our friends Joe and Brenna. Audrey spent the entire night screaming and when she finally fell asleep Kirsten woke up and picked up where Audrey left off. Nothing sounded better to us at that moment than a few days away from the girls and a chance to sleep uninterrupted for a few nights! Brenna was sweet and made us yummy pancakes even though she had to listen to our girls scream all night. Part of me wished we could just vacation at her house with her green backyard, fields surrounding her house, and swing for the kids we were all in heaven!
Maybe next time.
We then were able to visit Dione and her sweet 6 week old baby boy. Seeing my friends swoon over their baby boys makes me think just maybe we should order a boy next. It was kind surreal to sit there with my friend and realize there were 6 kids between the 3 of us.
Weren't we just driving the "roller coaster" hills in Vernal?
Next we met up with Kirk's mom at his brother Aaron's house. Joriel made yummy coffee cake and we spent a few minutes visiting before we kissed our beautiful babies good bye. It was a big deal for us to leave them, since it was our first over night trip without them. They waved goodbye to us with wide eyes that were screaming "are you seriously leaving us? seriously?". But we totally did and did so before Karen realized how much like the girls like to scream at night!
(But they both totally slept through the night for her, SO not fair!)
We met up with some of our best friends Mark & Camille and had lunch. It was awesome to have time with friends without the kiddos around, even though all we talked about were the kids!
We stayed in Salt Lake that night and were delighted that we could go out at night and didn't have to stay home with sleeping babies. We spent time shopping at Tai Pan and Gateway before driving up and over Big Cottonwood Canyon into Midway where we enjoyed our honeymoon suite at the Johnson Mill. It was heaven and it turns out Kirk and I still like each other, alot!
But we were more than ready to see the girls on Friday. It about killed us to wait until 9:00 for our breakfast to be delivered so that we could get on the road and see our girls. They ran(crawled) up to us as we got out of the car, those girls are our piece of heaven.

In Vernal we were able to meet Eliza Jayne, have a Tea Party with my mom and some of my sisters and nieces, go boating with Liz and Derek(yes Kirk was really hot wake boarding), go to Women's Conference, go to the movie You Again with my mom, aunt janet, and kristy, Kirk and the girls went to Alex's birthday party, but mostly the girls loved playing in their grandma's backyards swinging on the swing set, playing with the dog, and rolling around in the grass (which was Kirsten and Audrey's piece of heaven). We met up with the rest of my family (Riley, Josh, Brett, Amanda, Garrett, Chelsey, and spouses/boyfriend) on Sunday at Riley's house. It is so much fun to be with family. It was the perfect trip! Maybe, just maybe we will do it again :)
ha /boyfriend. You crack me up. And no talking about liking each other on your honeymoon. Also come back!!!!!!!! Loves.
