Quick Trip West

We made a quick trip out to Utah the beginning of October.

Guy ran and finished the St. George Marathon!!
He cramped up really bad after so he was lucky to have his dad and brother to massage his legs! Let's just say I was glad to be a spectator this year and not going through that pain again :)
Great job Guy! We are so proud of you!

And it was so great to be able to see Grandma and Grandpa Hill, Missy, Maria, Mike and Mandy and all the cute cousins. Thanks Mike and Mandy for letting us stay a night at your place and Missy for the family pics. Love you guys!

We went to my Grandpa Peel's Funeral
October 4, 2010
He had a military burial and it was really neat
My sweet Grandma.
I love her so much!
It really was a beautiful funeral and it was so nice to hear my mom and aunts/uncle's telling stories and sharing what a great father and man my Grandpa was. All of the grandchildren sang a few songs and poems together that my Grandpa wrote. The words he wrote really touched my heart. I am so grateful that we were able to be there for his funeral and to be a part of honoring his great life. Love you Grandpa!
 It was great to be reunited with all of these guys!
Love them!!!!

We celebrated my brother Jason's 17th birthday

Ty found this hat at my Grandma Richardson's house and wouldn't take it off. It's part of a game where 2 people wear these hats and you have to try to throw balls at the other person's head and get it to stick on the velcro strips. We played it once at a family reunion and it was hilarious to see my uncle's running around, chasing each other. Pretty funny!

Haha, I just love you Tyler!
We played some mini golf for Jason's birthday and the boys all went crazy with the go carts after. It was pretty funny to watch...
 His yummy rice krispie treat cake!
I'm still not believing my little brother is 17 though.
How did that happen?!?!
And then just like that, it was back to Florida once again. This was such an exhausting, quick trip that I think we are still recovering. It was so great to see everyone that we were able to. I know we missed seeing a few people that we really wanted to see and I am soo sorry! Next time we come out that way we'll hopefully be able to spend a little more time.

T'was a fun, quick trip.

If you haven't been on a go cart for awhile I would highly recommend it. Was a blast.

It was so fun to see you even for a little bit. Glad that you were able to come! I still can't believe Guy did that race without training at all. Craziness.
