Playing catch-up: a fantastic Thanksgiving week in Utah!

Thanksgiving 2017 was a wonderful week for us.  We traveled up to Salt Lake City and enjoyed several days of fun with the Cushings and Croppers!  

  • birthday celebrations for Grandma Deb
  • Sunday church
  • First movie theater experience in RECLINERS!
  • Freebirds dinner with Grandpa Rod and Grandma Deb
  • Fat Cats with everyone!  We sure do love and look forward to our "pizza and bowling" tradition!
  • Siblings and spouses movie night, deluxe treatment!
  • Thanksgiving Day fun--delicious meal, great company, and fun games!
  • TV watching
  • Games, games, games
  • Tennis
  • Cousin sleepovers
  • A little shopping
  • Sleeping in and getting some much needed R & R

Family time--we loved every minute of it!  Love you all!

Our epic Summer 2017 trip. Part 1: Cushing and Cropper time!

Two weeks of school have come and gone already.  Rhiannon is off to play in the band at the high school's first football game tonight--the first one of her SENIOR year!  Wade is taking it easy, playing his new video game and going to bed early tonight so he can do well at a fun run tomorrow morning.  Jason and I enjoyed having the day off and both were glad to have some time to unwind/get things done.

So tonight felt like a good time to rewind and capture some fun summer moments that I've been meaning to get on the blog for weeks.  Here's the first of several--our family trip to see Cushing/Cropper family in Salt Lake City, then on to Bear Lake for the Rich and Donna Sheen Family Reunion, followed by a quick Idaho trip for the Beck reunion and time with Uncle Max.  We had a good time!

We packed a lot of fun in with the UT Cushings and Croppers!  Highlights included:

Water balloon games and dessert outside in the backyard--it was such a beautiful night!
Watching Matt, Lilly, and Heather perform a musical number in sacrament meeting
Watching the Wonder Woman movie with Grandma Deb
Playing lots and lots of games with cousins
Bowling and pizza with everyone!
Staying up to watch the Warriors win the NBA Finals--thanks, Grandpa!
Watching DVR'ed shows with Grandpa and Grandma
Checking out the largest Costco ever

I didn't take many pictures this trip, but here are a fun few from the Salt Lake City days (plus check out the hilarious Snapchat ones that Heather shared with us! Too funny!)
