July Trip

A week after school got out, I drove to Utah with my parents and Vanessa to visit my brother and his family in Heber City. Our trip was full of fun outings including fishing, going to the zoo, going down to the Provo Freedom Festival, swimming, watching Tabitha walk by herself for the first time, roasting marshmallows in the backyard, shopping at Gardner Village, watching fireworks on the 4th and celebrating Gabrielle's 3rd birthday. Of course some of the best times were just hanging out at home playing with the girls and being with family. There are a lot of pictures so I will make several posts of our trip.









July Trip - Gabrielle's Birthday

It's hard to believe Gabrielle is 3 already. Tabitha turned 1 about a month earlier so she knew what it meant to party. She was all over the place and into everything Gabrielle opened. Gabrielle's big surprise was a big girl bike! Tabitha sat right down and enjoyed the ride.






July Trip - Birthday Treats

Gabrielle chose to have a chick themed birthday party. Tami made a cute chick cake and I helped make the chick pops.

July Trip - Walking

Before this trip, Tabitha took a few steps here and there but she really took off when we were there. I feel like I miss a lot of the girls' lives being so far away so it was fun to be there for this.

July Trip - Zoo

On Gabrielle's birthday we went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. We had a great time and tried to stay cool in the heat!
