ST GEORGE!!!!
Monday morning Brynlee and I packed up our stuff and headed to St. George with Angela (Ryan had to work and so he came up later in the week.) Anyways, we had such a fun trip and there was no possible way we were able to get all the fun things in that we wanted.... but here are a few highlights from our trip...
Monday we had such a fun drive to St. George and so time seemed to just fly by. We talked about life, babies, music, basically anything and everything you can think of. When we arrived in St. George, Angela's mom (Karen) had a yummy dinner ready for us. It was called Chicken Divan and I am SO excited to try the recipe.
Later that night Angela's brand new baby niece came for a visit. She was SO tiny and I couldn't help but be a little emotional because Brynlee is just growing up SO fast. We had fun watching Dancing with the Stars while playing with all the toddlers and babies that were at Angela's house.
Tuesday morning we woke up and of course did our P90X workout (we did it every day in St. George and we were so proud of ourselves). Then we all got ready and headed out for a day full of shopping. We spent an hour and a half at a fabric store finding the perfect fabric. Angela and I are on a "craft kick" now that the weather is turning.
Here is a picture of the fabric for another fuzzy blanket for Brynlee... even though she already has about 15 awesome blankets!
We were planning on making the blankets in St. George; however, we ran out of time and so now it will be something we can work on this coming week. Angela picked out some really adorable fabric as well.
A few other purchases from Tuesday were a Chi strightener for 59.99--- seriously how amazing is that. Costco had them and I was so thrilled because I have never seen one under $100.
I also bought this cute Ranunculus flower to make a vintage headband for Brynlee. The picture doesn't really do it justice but you can get the idea....
We then went to a ward dinner that was actually quite fun and had some yummy dinner.
Wednesday began with another workout and then it was off to the salon. Angela's sister is in hair school and so we decided to go see exactly what she could do to my bangs (side note... my bangs were chopped at a local salon that did an AWFUL job and so we needed them fixed). Anyways, she fixed my bangs and then put a shine thing in my hair. It is AMAZING. It is this clear coat that goes over your hair that brings out the shine. I really enjoyed going and fixing my hair up a bit. Brynlee was just amazing while we were there which made the outing much more fun.
That night we came home to another amazing lasagna dinner.... I am not kidding... her mom is like SUPER mom!
Then we went to the Tuachan theatre (an outside ampitheater) and saw the play Annie. It was an amazing Broadway show and I was amazed at the talents of all the young girls. If you are ever in St.George, I recommend going to see a play in this theatre. It is amazing to watch such great talent while enjoying the fresh air. It was a two and a half hour play and Brynlee slept through the ENTIRE thing!
Ryan made it Wednesday night just in time for bed!
Thursday we were able to spend time with Ryan's grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa Heiner were excited to see us. We surprised them with dinner at 3:00 (thinking that was plenty early for DINNER) but they had already eaten at 1:00.... we all got a laugh at how they eat so early. Although we couldn't eat a meal with them, we had an awesome visit. Brynlee is SO lucky to have 4 Great- Grandparents. I am so happy she has had the opportunity to meet all of them.
This picture is when they first laid eyes on her. They were pretty enthralled.
Such a great picture that I am sure Brynlee will appreciate later on!
Grandma was just amazed at how tiny Brynlee is. She kept saying how she cannot remember the last time she saw a baby so tiny and new.
All in all it was such a great week. On the drive home Ryan and I were talking about all the great people in our lives. We can all learn so much from each other!
This weekend we may be making another trip. Grandpa Jensen isn't feeling well and so we want to visit him in Idaho. Brynlee has met him once and he was just so sweet with her. He is such a great man and so we hope we can go this weekend and spend more time with him!
