WARNING: Photo Overload!
A few weeks ago (over UEA for you Utahn's) my little sister, Colette, flew Carlee, Lucy and I to Utah for a surprise visit. I can honestly say it was one of the BEST weeks of my life. We fit as much as you can possibly fit into a week of our lives. Here are a million photos to prove it:
In this photo we had just surprised them all. Aliyah sent this picture to her Mom to say, "Guess who is here!?!"
It all started like this...NO ONE knew we were coming to Utah except for a few people we HAD to tell to make the plans work and come together (ie: my niece, another little sister and my dad). Colette told my family she needed help at a HUGE event she had for work in Park City and to meet at her house on Friday morning. (We flew in on Thursday night and spent the night at Colette's house). My Mom got there and Colette was totally not ready (she was a little mad because she had gotten up early to get ready and run errands and thought she could have had more time to get some other stuff done). Colette asked her to start loading boxes from her spare bedroom. (This is where we were hiding.) She opened the door and all 3 of us were in the room AND...she went into shock! She just stood there like she did not know what to think. It was kind of scary and funny at the same time. Later came the tears. Now her experience is completely opposite from the rest of the family. Kailey and Josh got to Colette's with my nieces and me, Carlee and Lucy opened the door and said, "SURPRISE!" All of them started to cry and scream and cry somemore. It was AWESOME! I thought that Kailey was going to pass out. I was looking at Josh like please catch her when she falls. If the recording would have worked on Colette's phone we could have won $10,000 for sure. Haha!
Carlee was super excited to "LOVE" on Colette's dogs (oh and play dress up)
Josh, Kailey, Aliyah, Carlee and Liberty
We really did end up going to Park City and staying in one of the nicest rooms/suites I have ever stayed in. I have learned that Colette doesn't do anything 1/2 way. She goes ALL out. She is the BEST to travel with (or to be related to for that matter, LOL!)
Carlee
The pool and hot tub were both so warm and nice.
Paige, (Lindsey and her girls met us at the hotel a little later that day) Liberty and Carlee
but when it was time to come in we had the big heart soaker tub to take advantage of.
Aliyah and Madeline loving on Lucy
Josh and Mindy came to pick up their girls who had a church event the next day. Josh is SO good with babies. He loves Lucy!
...almost as much as Trevyn does!
Then we got our eye brows dyed and waxed. LOL!
and Colette did pedicures for all of the girls.
and Paige and Madeline loved on Lucy some more...
Carlee calls Lindsey her 2nd mom. I love it! Here she is loving on her and showing her panties. We had just got out of bed and then we lounged around for a few hours.
The view from our room was amazing. I LOVED the fall colors. The leaves had not started to change here in VA yet.
My Dad came into town from WY to love on his grand babies. I love this picture of Lucy. Look how blue her eyes are! She is so dang cute!!! ;) Oh and I love their matching hair do's.
