we spent this past weekend in logan, ut and it was action-packed! i love weekends like that.
we arrived saturday afternoon and spent some time with kevin's brother sam, his wife lisa, and their boys brian and tyler. it was fun to check out their new place and to let the boys play together.
then we meet up with katie (my sister), chris, izzy, ben (my brother), kaylin, and eli for some delicious dinner at the firehouse! the best pasta and bread around!
next, we made a quick visit to see my friend elise and her little family. owen really loves spending time with her boys and thinks it's great that they share the same names as his thomas and friends trains! (: then elise and i got away from it all and enjoyed some yummy dessert at olive garden. i really love this tradition elise...i hope it continues for YEARS!
on sunday katie's new babe, izzy, was blessed (which was the whole reason for this trip). she was beautiful and her father gave a wonderful blessing. all of my siblings and their children were in attendance along with my parents and both of my grandmothers. what a special day!

as we were enjoying a wonderful lunch katie and melissa convinced elena and i to send our husband's home together so we could stay an extra night and make a visit to hogle zoo monday morning. of course that didn't take much convincing!
owen LOVED the zoo and all the animals. but, his favorite part was the train ride. he thought it was so great that he got to give them a ticket to get on the train. he makes crazy things like the zoo SO worth it!

owen-loving the train ride.
as we were walking through the zoo the kids found the perfect photo opt and insisted that i take their picture.
halle, alyssa, payson, megan, and owen
after taking 15 kids to the zoo we were CRAZY enough to stop at the training table for some much deserved lunch. as i was picking up my order the manager asked if we were a daycare. HILARIOUS! i told him that we were just four crazy sisters and all these kids were ours. we kept the staff pretty entertained that afternoon. the manager kept commenting on how we deserved medals for pulling this off and gave us milk on the house!
four crazy sisters-katie, me, elena, and melissa

that's so fun! there's something about doing "stuff" with family that just can't compare to doing "stuff" with friends isn't there? how fun~
Have you lost more weight? You look like your wasting away in this picture of you and your sisters? Skin and bones perhaps!! Working hard I can tell. Miss you
Hey that picture ain't half bad! Look at us take things into our own hands. ;) What fun it was; I'm glad you talked me into staying.
Beautiful baby. Love the blessing dress. That's awesome all your family was there! The zoo sounds fun, too! I'll have to do that soon. The Training Table "daycare" is hilarious!!!! You are very pretty mamas that deserved some fun together. (Glad you got some free milk out of the whole deal, too!)
A daycare! That is funny stuff right there! Well I am sad I missed it. It looks like you all had a great time.
That picture of you guys is ADORABLE!! And I love the daycare story... hilarious! You ARE brave to take all of those kids to a restaurant, though.
I'm so glad you had the chance in your busy weekend to go out with me! I LOVE our tradition so much-- it is sooooo great to hang out with a GIRL once in awhile!!
i love how your family gets together so much! it is so awesome...i admit i am a little jealous. i want that one day!! how is sam's new apartment?
What a fun weekend! I love the restaurant story!! You guys always do fun stuff together!
NO WAY! We were so at Hogle Zoo on Monday!!!! We must have missed eachother! Come to think of it - I think I may have seen you guys but thought "no way, of course they're not down here". :) Anyway - we'll be in Poky next week (Wednesday thru Saturday) if you guys want to meet up! :) Kirk really misses Owen.
You guys really are brave...don't know if I could've done it. Nice, though, to snag some free milk!
