backtracking a bit

A couple weekends ago Chris was in Laramie, so the girls and I headed to Utah for the weekend to hang out with my sister, Katie, who was flying up for a wedding.
We managed to pick her up from the airport on time Thursday night, despite driving through crazy blinding snow.

One of our Aunt and Uncles were kind enough to let us stay with them all weekend. The girls loved every second. They followed Aunt Angie around everywhere, and then would follow Uncle Dean when he got home from work. Angie let Caitlin mop the floor, and she was so excited! She mopped and mopped for nearly an hour.

Angie let them try on old prom dresses

and painted their toenails and fingernails.

With Dean just before church wearing new dresses that Grandma Berta made for them.

Saturday Grandma Berta flew up, and my sister-in-law, Julie, was in Utah visiting her parents so we had a mini family reunion! Julie's parents let us all come to their beautiful house to hang out for a few hours.

Julie and I

We met cousin Maddie for the first time! She has beautiful RED hair.

And the girls got to play with their other cousin, Bailey.

The house has a really fun play room with a tower in it. Caitlin called it the Rapunzel tower.

There is even this cute round door to get into the play room.

One of Bailey's favorite past times while in Utah: getting out all the cups and lining them up on the counter :) Too funny!

All the Bishop cousins (with a little boy to be added in about a month!)

Katie and Maddie and Katie's friend, Tish.
And since Katie is holding Maddie you can't tell that she is 8 months pregnant.

All the Bishop girls except Annie, we missed her! Just do a quick double take of me and it would almost be like she was there.

Sunday we drove up to Logan to visit my Grandparents and drop my Mom off. We also always get to see my Uncle Greg and Aunt Shirley, who live upstairs from my Grandma and Grandpa.

It was a very quick trip in Logan, but fun as always- just no pictures.


Our whole weekend was so fun, we saw lots of family and did sooooo much driving. We loved every second, but were completely exhausted by the time we got home Sunday evening.
