Utah!

At the beginning of February Aaron and I were able to take a short weekend trip to Utah to visit family and friends. We stayed with Mindy and Tari in Salt Lake the first night we got there (we arrived at midnight) and then spent the next day seeing Mandy's new house in Heber City and meeting Jonas. Aaron and Jonas had a lot of fun.

Mandy really wanted to learn how to make Mindy's infamous salsa so we all got to learn. Man is it good!


Tari and I

On our drive back to Salt Lake. It was snowing!


That night, we were able to meet up with friends in Salt Lake for dinner at Red Robin. It was so great to see Melissa and Justin, as well as their significant others. Michelle also came up from Provo.



We really missed Sheryl :(
After dinner we went down to Pleasant Grove to see Anna, Chris and Kayden. It had been 8 months since we had last seen Chris. We stayed the next 2 nights with them before we had to come home. Don also came up from Provo and we had so much fun eating out, bowling, and just hanging out. We made sure to eat at Cafe Rio and I had a realization. I might like Costa Vida just as much. I'm glad it's only 10 minutes away.
Eating at CPK


Bowling. Mindy and Tari missed us so much they had to join us. We're glad they did.





Hanging out at Chris and Anna's



Kayden is cute as ever and it was so good to see him walking! We slept on a blow up mattress in Kayden's room and when Kayden came in his room Saturday morning he was so confused, and maybe a little scared, at these two strange people who had taken over his space. It took him a little while to warm up to us but on Sunday morning he wasn't at all surprised to see us there and was happy to come hang out on the mattress with us.
We realized while we were there how much we miss Utah. It is such a great place and we hope to be able to visit again soon.

Ooooh... Emily Haycock Russon is going to be mad when she sees that you called it "Mindy's salsa." Hahaha!

True, Marisa. I should have given Silvia credit, even though I've never had the salsa made by her. Therefore, to me, it is "Mindy's salsa." haha :)

Are you pregnant? You talked a lot about food and all the places you ate. I am hungry after reading your blog. :) What happened to a visit to Susy?
