Reason #1


The first reason we went to Utah for the weekend was of course to visit Olivia and see her new house (well condo)...We had so much fun! Ruffin couldn't go because he had appointments all day Friday and training all day Saturday. So I braved the 4 hour car ride with miss M and miss Grace who were extremely good the whole way. (Thanks to Cinderella, which Gracee watched over and over.) As for Miss M, she slept until clearfield, cried for a mile, got bored and fell back asleep until we got to SLC. Olivia lives off the exit that IKEA is off of and as we were exiting Gracee looked over and said "IKEA, mom IKEA, Yeah." We have only been one time but obviously it was memorable! After we met up with Olivia our first stop was noodles & company which is one of my favorite places to eat!! I absolutely love the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese and yes I will even pay money for their buttered noodles which is also YUmmy! Gracee loved the Mac & Cheese so much she nearly ate her whole bowl full!
Other fun places we went were of course, Ikea and a shopping trip to Park City.

Gracee's favorite part about Ikea is getting inside the covers of the beds and faking sleep... I nearly left her in one of the toddler beds that she must of thought was so comfortable. I stepped away where I could still see her and it was funny to watch the people walking by look at the bed and see a little girl sleeping, one lady got to laughing pretty hard. Finally I had to pull her from the bed and get her attention on to something else... Needless to say by the end of the 2 hour walk through of the store we were ready to eat and get out of
there!

Every night before going to bed Miss Grace had to watch her new Princess movie... I have seen it at least 200 times! Can you believe all four of us slept in Olivia's queen sized bed... Good times!
I absolutely loved seeing my two friends from SLC!! We had a good time catching up!!!
Here is Olivia and I wearing the same shirt, we went in different rooms to put on our PJS and came back matching... I guess that is what you get when you have some of the same shirts:)

Sounds like a fun trip! Wish we could have been there to see you guys. I miss how much we saw each other before we moved. But we'll have plenty of fun when you come down :) We even have an IKEA for Gracee to enjoy.
