Vacation....kinda

So last week Andy ended up having to go to Richfield for work for the week. He doesn't go out of town very often but we hate it when he does. He left on a Tuesday morning and by Wednesday the girls and I decided we had nothing better to do, so we packed our bags and left that afternoon. Ataya had so much fun, by the time we got there Andy was off work so we went swimming, that started our routine for the trip because we ended up swimming for four straight nights! On Friday, Andy had a long day of work so I loaded up the girls and we drove another 2 hours to St. George to watch Uintah kick some butt at the softball tournament! Although I was nervous about taking this journey by myself with two girls, we had alot of fun! I will take any excuse to go to St.George. Although Richfield is not my typical vacation hot spot, it was alot of fun, plus Andy is terrible when he has to be away from his girls, after about a day he goes nuts!

Mini Vacation

Super Party!!

Happy Green Day, but more importantly Happy 3rd Birthday to my baby! I can't believe Ataya is 3! We had such a busy day! It is so fun having a birthday on St. Patricks Day! (It's the only Birthday party where everyone comes color coordinated!)

Party #1

We decided to have two parties (I don't know what I was thinking.) At 3:00 we started Ataya's first party. Ataya invited a few friends over to decorate cupcakes and play a few games. It was alot of fun! I am glad we decided to do a party for the kids because Ataya really enjoyed it!! We have such amazing family and friends that made it such a fun little party, it was well worth it!!

Party #2

At 6:30 we had our second party, this one was little more stressful. I decided to do dinner for all of our family (about 20 people). I wanted to have Cafe Rio, but when my mom got to my house around 4:00 the "Pork Barbacoa" wasn't even close to being done. We turned it on high and I had frosting about everywhere you can imagine that needed cleaned up! I have a new love for Vinyl table clothes, they are well worth the dollar! We through everything on the table, folded the table cloth up and took it out to the trash. I was so smart I had even put two on the table before hand so after throwing on a few plates we almost had the next party ready to go! To sum it up the food was great!!!! I am not sure about everyone else but I loved it! (I would like to take the credit but my mom helped, or maybe she pretty much cooked everything but I hate to get into details.) I love having people over, it is worth the stress! We have the best family! Ataya got totally Spoiled, it truly looked like Christmas! It was such a fun day, I am sad it is over! I think Ataya would have slept until noon the next day if I wouldn't have woke her up! She was wiped out, she even lost her voice (she said it was from singing "Happy Birthday to TAYA!" I love March 17th, Thanks to everyone for coming!!
