utah....finally!

this is journaling, so you might not want to read all of it!
so for conference weekend paisley and i went to utah with chris's mom, jan and her friend, kathy. she was heading to slc for some training and it was a great opportunity to see friends and family, although it wasn't close to enough time to see everyone. we left wednesday afternoon and drove to vegas, paisley did really well, but had a bit of a hard time sleeping that night. it was so fun to see tommy and amy and there cute home. we left in the morning and it took ALL day to get to slc, road tripping has never been my favorite thing. we didn't have to stop too often with paisley, just a few extra times for feeding. she did remarkably well. that night we stayed at grandma petersons, paisley did a little bit better, i got more sleep because we got some ear plugs! (any movement or heavy breathing from paisley wakes me up.)

paisley had quite the set up in the car, she loved watching her baby einstein videos.

friday morning we woke up and had a relaxing morning watching the snow fall, yes snow fall! after paisley's morning nap she and i left jan in slc and headed down to provo to see friends. first we met with desiree at rumbi's. it was delicious, love the salads and love the sweet potato fries:)here you can see paisley crawling on rumbi's table i loved getting to talk with desiree and just enjoy her company. afterwards we shopped for a little bit, i picked up a few great things and we both just about died laughing in the card section in papaya--too funny!!

paisley's first snow.



then paisley and i headed to laura's house. i loved seeing her and meeting maggie for the first time! paisley loved playing with amos, but unfortunately was exhausted after our fun day and fell asleep before most of my friends got there for the evening. i had a blast chit chatting and laughing with old friends laura, eric, desiree, chuck, josh, miles and kendra.

kendra and i from chuck's perspective-we were cracking up.

saturday morning paisley and i drove back to slc while listening to conference and made it there at the break just in time to get pedicures with aunti steph and jan.
pailsey loves playing with aunti steph!

saturday night during priesthood session the gals went to quilted bear for some shopping, paisley got to meet the easter bunny. she was unsure for a minute and then all smiles!

sunday in between sessions one of my best friends michelle and her husband spencer came up from provo to say hi. it was so great to see her if only for a short visit, she is prego and super cute!! i am so excited for her little boy to come:)


sunday night i got to see some other great friends, andrea, natalie, and kevin at desiree and chuck's house. we played cranium(andrea and i won-word to our skills) and caught up, it was great:)

monday we left early and drove all day, paisley did surprisingly well and didn't really lose it until the last 1/2 and hour home. she is such a champ!! we had a good trip but were very happy to be home to the sunshine and my hubby!

wow, what fun! Glad you had a blast and so so glad that Paisley did so well!!! It's good to have a kid who is a good traveler, trust me! Where did you get that cover for Paisley's carseat? Did it come that way or did you make it/buy it?
