How lucky are we?!?

We had an amazing and exhausting weekend full of fun and family. Friday morning Kim called to tell us her and Ez were on their way up so Ez could take his final at BYU and then they would be staying the whole weekend. They got here Friday night late and visited before heading to Nikki's to sleep(she was so excited to have her 1st overnight guests).

The girls love their aunt Kim and its not hard to figure out why she always sends them fun little things and will play with them a lot while she is here even when she is tired and not feeling good...she is going to make a great mommy!

Saturday morning after getting ready and some quick planning we met at Nic's and decided to head to City Creek so do some shopping and walking around. We decided to grab some lunch first and weren't disappointed by the selection at all...Hallie loved that we sat next to the window and she could watch the waterfall the entire time. She also got this balloon that as far as balloons go was awesome it had a plastic holder at the bottom so it couldn't float away and it was easy for her little hand to hold it.

They had the fountains on(there were even some crazy parents letting their kids run through them(it was 55 degrees))but they did have an awesome fountain show.

Then we headed to The Living Planet Aquarium with Kim and Ez while Nic and Kyle headed to a softball game for Kyle's sister. I think the otters were the coolest and we spent the most time watching them, they put on quite the show.

I think Hallie may have liked them equal to the sharks and sea turtles. They had a tank you could even touch the sting rays.

Kimber was so good to hold Hallie up or help her see things.

Poor Gracie was so tired she slept through the whole thing...not a peep all day, she is so good.

The penguins were a bit of a let down..its a good thing we didn't go just for them.

Hallie loved the sea turtle...it was probably as big as she is

We finished our day with a little more shopping and some yummy dinner before heading home to hang out and watch some basketball. Sunday Kim & Ez headed to Tremonton to see grandpa. After church Joy came to have lunch with us, sometimes its nice to have her all to ourselves to visit and play with. We had missed doing pictures with her at Gracie's blessing and finally got some way cute pictures of them together.

Then after a quick nap we headed to Nic's house for dinner and games. After dinner and a few games we layered up and headed outside to play some baseball. Kimber got some good pictures and we decided that with Rig's hat Gracie looked like a glow worm(anyone remember those?)

So excited for more nights like this and the presence of summer. We are really looking forward to getting together for Sunday dinners and next month Kim & Ez will move up here too...we couldn't be more thrilled to have family closer.
