We made it to Utah

Hello all,

It has been awhile since my last post. Well I have lots to tell. First I am sorry I didn't make it to see everyone in Utah, we had a death in the family and had to cut our visit short. Plus the weather wasn't helping. We were stuck in La point three extra days because the roads were closed.

We were able to visit Great Grandma Kapp. She will be 93 this year and still going strong. The kids had a great time with her. We miss her so much.

We had lunch with our favorite Aunt on my moms side, Aunt Patty.

Bella got her first hair cut from our long time family hair dresser Shawna. I was happy her first hair cut was from the best!

Grandpa Kelly Grandma Brenda and Uncle Kall were fun to visit. We were able to watch Kall's basketball and spend a couple nights with them. Grandpa Kelly Made us laugh with his silly songs and guitar. We were lucky to have Grandma Brenda show us her rock collection and she gave us some nice Topaz , Garnet and Amethyst stones we hope Dan will make some beautiful jewelry out of it for us. Kall was so nice to let me sleep in his bed and share all his stuff with the kids. We sure miss them.

We stayed at Kade and Amity's house a couple nights and play the Wii and had a little party. It was so nice to be with family.

I was able to visit a few good friends, Heidi, who was just made a grandma this week, congrats! It was nice to catch up and see her and her family. She is my oldest friend I have going back over 30 years.

I was able to eat at my favorite spot La Casita, margaritas with mom is always a hit.

The passing of my Uncle Steve was unexpected, my Aunt Jolene and our cousins are in our prayers. He went pretty quick, which was a blessing. We loved him very much.

We were able to visit Uncle Tyler and see our new nephew Sanders and what a doll he is and so sweet! The girls are so beautiful and they all had so much fun playing together. It was so good to finally see them. The kids were able to go to the deli and help Tyler make them sandwiches, we sure wish we had one right now!

We had a great time at grandma Durrants house(my mom). We had some pretty serious Wii tennis matches going on between Bret and Essa and found out Fritz can really bowl. Grandpa taught Essa to play Cribbage , Fritz beat grandma at checkers and Uno was the games for Bella. Grandpa helped Fritz tie some flies for dad. We had a great party for Essa's 18Th birthday. Grandpa Bret had very cool fireworks gave Essa a nice dedication and advice for the future. We had a bomb fire with marshmallows and fun stories. The kids had a pinata and pin the tail on the donkey with all the cousins. That was the only sunny day we had the whole trip! Cordova, Nick, Joyce, Gus, were able to make it up to celebrate with us, and we danced all night. Thank you for making it so special!

The kids loved feeding the buffalo every morning and we have pictures of my Buffalo Roamy. The others I have pictures of are June Bug and Daisy May.

We stopped at the Lincoln Memorial in Wyoming, and to the Dinosaur Museum which was Fritz's favorite place.

The drive was a nightmare as usual and Essa and I both got a speeding ticket, 10 over :( We were just so anxious to get home, we missed dad and Ryan a little ;)

Well I am home now and back to the grindstone! I have caught up pretty well that is why I am able to finally write a post! I hope spring is around the corner I need sunshine!

Enjoy the pictures from our trip!


Love,

Magan
