I was feeling somewhat homesick, and felt like I needed to have a trip home. My mom misses us so much, literally everytime I talk to her on the phone, she cries about how much she misses us. We decided to suprise my mom, and just show up at her door step. Everyone in my family new about the trip except for her. It was a really fun time. This is her reaction finding us at her door.
I think it made my mom's whole year. It was so fun!! While we were there we had the opportunity to go to the Draper Temple open house, with all of my family.
It was really fun to take my kids thru the temple, so they could see what it looks like inside, and know what takes place in the temple.
Afterwards we went to a restaraunt Asian Star. Matt and I try to hit all of our favorite places to eat, when going back to Utah, and this is one of them (the walnut shrimp, so yummy).
This is my brother and his wife Renata. This is their beautiful daughter Marianna. This was the first time I got to see her. She is such a sweetheart.

We had our vacation all planned out, so we could get the most out of our weekend fun, but our kids got sick and we ended up not doing most of the things we had planned. Mckayla had a bad head cold, and cough and did not feel well. Isaiah got the croup, and ended up in the insta-care, and Seth also had a cough, and was teething. Thanks to my sister in law, and my brother they helped salvage our vacation. We were suppose to stay one night in Logan and have dinner with some dear friends, and then go to our old ward, but with sick kids we did not want to infect all of them. My sister in-law watched our kids, so we could still meet up with our friends, and Matt's sister. We met our friends half way and ate in Layton at Tepanyaki's. SO good. Thanks Dede for letting us invade and infect your home, and thanks for babysitting so we could see our friends. It was so fun to see our friends Eric & Kelly, Jeff & Danielle, and Matt's sister Natalie & husband Chris.
On Sunday, we had a dinner with all the family, and celebrated Seth's birthday. My kids had endless fun with their cousins even though they were under the weather. Here are some shots of Seth's birthday. His cupcake had red frosting, and seriously the pictures of him in the tub, looks like he has blood all over him, but don't be alarmed it is only frosting.
We had such a good time, it was a well needed vacation, and to top it all off, Matt bought our plane tickets with our Delta points, so for four tickets we only paid $40 dollars. Now that is what I am talking about!!!

Well, HELLO! I was actually getting worried about you! We've missed you!
That video is PRICELESS!! That was worth the whole trip right there!
It was soooooo good to see you guess a month ago....wow, a month ago!
Today I scrapbooked the pictures that we took the day we said goodbye when you moved to Georgia. Chase and I lamented and walked down memory lane. Sigh.
love the video!!
I am so glad you guys came! We miss you so much! Can't wait to see you this summer (healthy or sick :)!
How fun but when you said you were homesick I was assuming you meant Atlanta. :) We miss you guys but I hear the hubbies have been talking about a trip in September. That would be AWESOME!
How exciting for your mom to have you show up at her doorstep. That's a bummer that the kids got sick although it seems inevitable with traveling. I absolutely love the pictures of Seth in the bath after he devoured the birthday cake. That's a priceless picture.
Congrats on finally selling your home here.
It looks like you had a good time even with sick kids. I love that picture of Seth in the tub. It actually worried Skyler a little when he first saw it. Miss you.
The reaction from your mom made me cry. She's so cute :) I'm glad you've updated to the blog - I was missing you ;) I'm interested in your new springless tramp... looks like fun! Love ya!
