Vacation to Salt Lake

We decided to take a little mini vacation to Salt Lake before the baby comes. We drove down yesterday and stayed in a nice hotel suite downtown, thanks to Kristen. We then went to a bees game, riding trax there and back, which Gabrielle loved. It had been raining quite a bit during the day, but the weather cleared up just in time for the game, we were glad because it was a lot of fun. Gabrielle was fascinated with the bee mascot walking around and always had to keep him in her sites and so we tracked him down for a picture and she was a little nervous, but then talked non-stop about it after the photo. We woke up this morning and did a little swimming at the hotel pool where she did a great job "kicking" and then we ended the day at the zoo. Gabrielle especially loves the monkeys, but enjoys all the animals and loved the short train ride. Gabrielle has been especially cute when taking photos, she will actually smile and say cheese and then rush over to see the photo and then says one more and we do it again. We end up taking quite a few photos, but we will happily do that to capture her cute smiles!!

Big girl bed

We have been preparing Gabrielle for a few weeks that she would be sleeping in a big girl bed and it finally arrived today. One of the ends is broken, but she was so excited we put it together anyway. So far she is quiet and seemed to be excited to sleep there tonight, we will see how it goes!

Weekend Fun

Brandon spent the weekend fishing at Flaming Gorge with some friends, so Gabrielle and I spent the weekend with my family. We had fun playing outside in the nice weather enjoying all the animals and jumping on the trampoline. We celebrated Kristen's b-day, even though it is not for another two weeks, but with the baby coming she was OK with celebrating early. We had a great time.

Happy Birthday!

I am a slacker wife and forgot to mention that my cute husband had his 34th b-day last tuesday. We had fun celebrating the weekend before while his family was here.

Southern California

I spent a few days this past week in Southern California for my cousin Kevin's wedding. I flew in with my Mom and sisters and we had a great time visiting with family. We loved meeting our cousins cute new twins which were never short of hands that wanted to hold them. We had a nice wedding breakfast at Ruby's on the Huntington Beach Pier, they were married in the Newport Beach Temple and then a nice reception that evening. We spent the next day at the beach enjoying the nice sunny warm weather.

Conference Weekend

Brandon's Mom and sisters are in town this week. Gabrielle had a great time playing with them. We also enjoyed the nicer weather and were able to spend some time outside.

Another Easter Egg Hunt

I had to work on Easter Sunday, so we got together with my family last sunday for dinner and another easter egg hunt. All the eggs were hidden when we got there and Gabrielle kept noticing them and had so much fun looking for more. We kept pulling eggs out of her basket and hiding them again, she was so much fun to watch.
