Happy 80th Grandpa!

It was such a beautiful week in Utah! The kids and I flew into Salt Lake last Tuesday and spent the week prepping for Grandpa Pedersen’s 80th birthday celebration!!! The kids had so much fun romping around with their cousins and family. Plus the weather was just perfect. It nearly broke my heart when the captain of the plane heading back into Phoenix said it was beautiful and 102 degrees… :( but Utah’s weather sure did give me hope that cooler weather does exist and we’ll see it soon!

Both Connor and Chloe loved running around and playing with all furry friends that were there this weekend!!!DSC_0030 - CopyDSCN1601 - Copy

Miss Chloe started to really take off while we were there. She was walking all day long. I don’t think I’ve seen her crawl since we’ve been home. Yeah Sissy!

While Chloe was taking a nap. Grandma, Uncle Monte, Aunt Hayley and all the cousins went on a little hike up to the top of Pine brook to see the flag. Connor came home that day and crashed with Grandma!!! They took a good……long….. nap!

Uncle Eric said he would help me get some good shots of my little monkeys one day… these are not edited yet but I had to share a little taste.

Kiel was able to take a couple of days off from work to be with us. It makes it a GREAT vacation when he can be with us!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandpa Pedersen. He was just tickled about all the attention he received in one weekend. We had a beautiful dinner for just the adults the night before.. then Saturday was the big BBQ at the Miller’s house. It was a beautiful day. I don’t think Grandpa sat down for more than 10 minutes. He was like a school boy all over again! We love you Grandpa!!!

The Theme of the day was “Grandpa for President” Eric designed the shirts we all wore and he made election posters with his picture and name all over them. It was really sweet to really spoil the old guy. It was a beautiful weekend!!!
