2 Weeks in Utah

Between graduating from residency and starting in Japan we decided to take 2 weeks to spend with family and friends in Utah. Our kids were so good in the car, we hardly had to entertain them at all. 

Stickers are seriously the most fun....for some strange reason.


We got there just in time to say hi to my Grandma and Grandpa Jensen. I was so happy to see them and visit with them before we left. 


Thanks to Matt for the awesome Jamberry nails



We found this hidden gem in Herriman Utah. It is a manmade lake and it was perfect for a couple family outings. 









Brooke was perfectly content playing on the beach all day. We put her in the boat for a little bit and she hated every minute of it. Spencer, on the other hand, is a natural in the water. He loved this game of fetch with Curtis where he kept throwing the toy deeper and deeper. 




My dad got free tickets to a baseball game. It was the kids' first game and Brooke was totally into it. She kept cheering for "her team" even though I don't think she understood much. Still I was happy she was enjoying a sporting event.

A great water party at Ryan and Emilee's house. They had the firetruck out there to spray down the slip and slide. It was awesome! Just wish I hadn't thrown my back out the first time I went down. I must be getting old.









We did a bunch of other fun things that I didn't get pictures of such as; birthday dinner for me with the Gapinski girls, a nice visit with my roommate and her 7 kids that I hadn't seen for 10 years, evening visiting with Miranda, date night with just Curtis and another one along with my parents, temple trip with most of my siblings, dinner at Grandma's house, surprise birthday party for me from my family, a few dinners with all my Jensen cousins, sprinklers with some Armstrong cousins, etc. We really packed in as much fun as we could while we were there. I wish I was better at getting pictures.
