utah visit in a nutshell

things have been a little crazy around here.
i signed up to do a craft show.
a week later momo and poppy came to visit.
three days later i left for a week long visit to gma's.
now i am back and have less than a week left to get ready.
needless to say, the blog has taken a back seat.
i am up to my neck in felt, hot glue, clips, headbands and fabric.

while in utah:
(sorry of those we missed seeing this time around)
emi had her first official sucker.
not including a lick or two from the photo shoot pictures.so excited to be eating a sucker.
but obviously a rookie... what a sticky mess!

sharing with gma.

which i was shocked because she has only child syndrome.
(everything is hers and she doesn't share)enjoying some sugar.

what a mess!
she got to the gum...

love this picture of them.for gma's 87th birthday she wanted to go to mcgrath's.

gma and her sister have a birthday within the same week.

so they sang to shirley too. i bet their parents would have loved to see this.

we had a little reunion/b-day party for gma
and the reunion was her dad's side of the family.
pictured with gma are her cousins, i think the last living.

emi bored to death at the reunion.
that outfit was gma's favorite outfit of emi's last winter.
i squeezed her into it, just for gma.
the pants fit great but the shirt was a little short.

this happens a lot.
whenever we are out and about and my purse is in her reach.
she will bring it to me. i guess to tell me she wants to leave.

emi loves pianos. there is one at eddie's work
and she always makes her way to it when we go visit him.
this is my mom's second cousin, helping her play.

she literally mimicked every note he played.
whatever he touched, she touched it right after him.

then in the middle of the week we met up with the gang.
we enjoyed an afternoon at the discovery museum downtown.
amazing how much these kiddos have grown in the last year.

emi and i spent the night with the quigley's.
and we had a wonderful time catching up and playing together.

four generation picture.

we try to have this done each time we visit.

that's all the time i have for now.
we had a great time, except we both brought colds home.
seems like we always get sick when we go to visit.
but it's worth it i guess :)
