Utah: A haricut and one last night of family fun

This is my last Utah/Idaho post. Scroll down for a lot more!
The whole trip, Mackenzie was made fun of for her mullet and rat tail. So a couple days before we left, I performed the first haircut.

That night, some of Keith's cousins and Aunts and Uncles came over to say hi. Mackenzie was hammin it up for them with "Popcorn Popping" and "Head, shoulders, knees and toes"

Utah: Fun at the park

The main reason we went to Utah this summer was to attend my grandma's 80th birthday party. Only a few relatives were unable to make it. It was so busy and packed, I didn't manage to take a single picture of the event but we were so glad we could be there to celebrate such a wonderful woman. We love you Grandma!
Below are random pictures from parks and the slip n' slide Katie and Brandon set up.

Utah: Friends

One of our favorite parts about Utah is the fact that so many of our friends live/visit there. I didn't get pictures of everyone and I had to steal a couple of these off of friends blogs

Top Left: One of my best friends from Spokane Ashley Murphey (Barnes)
Top Middle: Old roommates Kaleena and Amber
Top Right: Old Roommate Amber and our friend Devanie Bottom Left: Our husbands that roomed together in college; Sam, Keith, Scott

It was a blast to get together for a roommate reunion and girls night. Amber and I married roomates and so we bonded a lot in college while we stalked then dated and eventually married our husbands. Keith and I really loved BYU-I and the friends we made there! We miss you all!

Idaho: The Green Belt

This is the prettiest area in Idaho Falls to me. We like to do this walk when we're in town. I was able to talk my parents into impromptu family photos which is a pretty amazing feat.

Bottom middle: The sisters with our girls. We'll have to wait and see if David and Caleb have firstborn girls as well.

Idaho: Henry's Fork

This was one of the highlights of Idaho for us: Floating down Henry's Fork. The weather was perfect, the view was amazing and the water felt so refreshing. My parents rented a raft and 4 tubes. I don't have a lot of pictures because I a lucky one on the tube most of the time

Idaho: Grandparents, Rexburg and the movies

We are really fortunate to have our parents live as close as they do. Salt Lake to Idaho Falls is only a 3 hour drive and Keith's parents are always so willing to lend us their car when we want to make the trip. We spent a week in Idaho and loved how relaxing it was. My sisters were both able to come and so our whole family (minus Scott) was able to be together for several days. Who knows when that will happen again.
Pictures: Kenz with my dad's parents and bottom right is Nycole's baby girl Paisley. She is such a good baby!! I loved cuddling her up all day.

Mackenzie has awesome uncles that like to play with her. Top left is my brother David and to the right of that picture is Caleb. My dad's work had a party at the movie theater so we went to see "How to Train Your Dragon" for $1. It was Kenzie's first movie theater experience and I don't think she watched more than 5 minutes of the movie. The pictures at the bottom were taken at Millhollow in Rexburg. It's one of our favorite places to eat. In Rexburg, we were able to spend time with our friends John and Meagan twice! It was so fun catching up and playing domino's for hours and hours. How did we seriously not get any pictures with you guys?

Utah: John & Amy's wedding

One of Keith's closest cousins John got married in the Manti temple while we were there. It was a beautiful temple and a wonderful sealing. I love attending Temple marriages, there's such a sweet spirit of peace and happiness that can't be found anywhere else.
