Fall Break Trip

My Mom and I flew to California last Friday to visit my cousin Katrina and her cute family and her new little baby Krislynn.  It was so nice to get away. I went to California every summer for like 7 years and it just feels like another home when I go visit my aunt and uncle and cousins.

This is Katrina's oldest Lizzie and she is a carbon copy of Katrina.  It is amazing!!

My Mom and I went to the BYU vs San Diego game.  It has been forever since my Mom has been to a game.  Steven was originally going to come up and go with me but his school and work has been so, so hectic so he let me and my Mom have the tickets.  And the tickets were amazing.  This is me and my Mom taking the elevator down to the field level seats.

And then we flew to Salt Lake to stay with my Grandma in Draper for a few days.  I just think Utah is so pretty and I forget how much I love the mountains.  But I love this picture because it was raining outside and my Grandma is so funny about not getting her wig wet and forgot she had this on while we were walking around the grocery store.  I just had to take a picture.

On Tuesday we went up to Salt Lake and went to Trolley Square.  We would go every summer when I was a little girl to visit my grandparents and get the taffy and eat at The Spaghetti Factory so we did it again for good ol' times sake.  We also went up to the Conference Center and I took so many pictures.  You would have thought it was my first time or something.  

That night I went to eat at Cheesecake Factory with Kelli, Jo, Code and Lena.  This is Sydney, Jo's daughter.  She is so cute and was such a charmer with the camera.  I am loving the headband!

On Wednesday we went up to Ogden and went to my Grandpa's grave site and had lunch with my Mom's friend Trisha and her 2 daughters.  I haven't seen them since I was 16 so it was fun to see them.  

I was able to go up to Provo all day on Thursday and visit some friends.  I do have to say that it was sooo nice to be there and not have to do anything. No class, no homework, no job, no walking up to campus, no long hours, it was great.  

I went to Bajios that night with some of Steven's family.  Here is his sweet Mom, his sister Danelle, and cute little nephew Evan. How could you not love this face??  

This is Steven's nephew Parker and he got tired of the spoon and began scooping his soup with his hand. I thought it was hilarious. He was just going to town!

It was a very fun trip and just good to be with my Mom and family.  By the time I got home, it felt like I had been gone for like a month.  Vacations are great but sometimes hard for me because it throws me out of my normal routine and schedule but I am happy that I was able to take a week off with my Mom.  


Now back to normal life...

P.S. Sorry for the picture overload
