We're Back!

So we've made it back from our little vacation. For those of you who don't know we made a surprise visit to Utah. No one knew we were coming (well except my mom, but we've learned not to keep secrets that my mom knows from my dad). We left on a Sunday after Church and drove to Sidney, NE. Then took off Monday morning to make the rest of the drive. It is one long drive, but thanks to the wonderful magic of portable DVD players and Jungle Book the boys did really good. It was so fun to see everyones reactions when they saw us. My mom had planned to have all the family over for dinner and family night and we were supposed to get there while they were eating dinner. We got into town and hour to early so we decided to make our first surprise visit to our Uncle Troy. He works in Ogden at a Honda dealership and we had decided before we came that we wanted to try to find another car. (FYI we have had only 1 car for 2 years and well life is getting crazier so we decided that it was just time to get another.) When we walked into the dealership we say him at his desk talking on the phone. His desk is behind a glass wall so we snuck around and starred at him until he finally looked at us. It was so funny. To say the least he was shocked. Well when we ended up at my parents house we decided to take the video camera in. (I wish I could figure out how to download and put it on here, but I can't seem to figure it out.) We rang the doorbell and my mom came to the door. She told us to come right in and immediately everyone was trying to see who was coming. My little sister say that it was us and she began to scream (she is a seventh grader explains a lot I know) Porter instantly began to cry. My sister Brooke who is seven months pregnant instantly began to cry. And I also heard that my dad began to tear up a little. Everyone else seemed to be in a little bit of shock. It was a lot of fun to surprise everyone. Ty's family was also a little surprised. He didn't tell anyone that we were coming, so when we showed up they kept saying what are you doing here. I didn't know you were coming. We came at a bad time, everyone was sick or had just been sick. Our nephew Bryson looked so sick and was the whole time we were there. My mother in law had just started an antibiotic and that she shouldn't be contagious the next day. So we didn't get to stay there as long as we had wanted to. We were a little concerned and we didn't want to get the boys sick so we decided to stay at Jake's and Lindsey. Before we went there we stop at Ty's brothers house. Once again we surprised more people. It was so much fun. On Friday my older sister BreeAnne who is also seven months pregnant was flying in for a baby shower we were having for her on Saturday. So once again we got to surprise someone and we picked her up from the Airport. We had so much fun, but the next time we come we have to come for longer than a week. We left on Sunday after my parents Sacrament meeting. Oh yes...My brother Bronson was such a help. We did end up buying another car so we had 2 cars to bring back. Bronson volunteered to help us drive back. So he drove back with us and flew back home on Monday. It was so much having him all to our selves even if it was only for a few hours! So we have been home for a weeks now and today I just finally finished un-packing and putting bags away. We had so much fun!!!
