Chillin' in Warm Utah

We got to Utah on Saturday morning. I spent a great day with one of my best girlfriends. We have known each other since we were in 7th grade. I LOVE catching up with her.

I was surprised at how warm it is here. It cracks me up that it is 45 degrees, but I was dying of heat. I have yet to wear a coat. Go figure.

On Saturday night we caught up with one of Adam's brother's family and had a fun dinner. Lulu LOVED playing dress up with her cousin. While we missed my BIL because he is in Ghana, it was great to chat with my SIL. (Although as usual, I did most of the chatting.) I'm so lucky to have a SIL that I just ADORE.

On Sunday my little sister and her family came over for dinner.


Teddy is a little nervous with his Aunt Meggan.



Slaving away at making a birthday cake.


Jake test tasting. How's dinner Jake?


The finished cake. It has some issues, but I'll get there one of these times.




My baby sister will turn 30 this year. We celebrated a little early. Happy Birthday Meggan.
(of course they took a picture of the side that had the problem- nice.)

The side of the cake that doesn't have problems is beautiful! ;) I'm glad the weather has been nice for your visit. I just got back from California where I was sitting on the porch yesterday eating an ice cream mud pie. Oh, how I miss the warmth of the sun. I guess it's all realtive, isn't it?

Welcome Home!
Your cake looks very tasty. I am still in shock reading the line "my baby sister is turning 30".
I think she will always be seven in my mind....
Have a great time and maybe we can get together next time!

it does seem crazy warm here. I'm glad you're having a good time with family and catching up with friends. You know I've always been meaning to ask you if you keep in touch with Shannon?

Megan is 30? What in the world. I know that I am not that much older than her & Ryan, but I just think of them as being so much younger. CRAZY! Next time you are in town we really need to get together. I would love to see you.

It's wonderful to have a sister-in-law that you love, I'm lucky that way too. Your cake looks delicious to me.
