The Hortons came up last Friday and spent the day in Salt Lake with me. We had to go to the school High School Musical was filmed at. We did not get to go in but the outside view was just as cool!
Steph and I in the Beehive House
The Relief Society Office on Temple Square.
We had a great and very HOT day.
We had a wonderful 4th of July filled with a picnic Friday and Saturday Night.
Kris enjoyed the corn on the cob,
Keena enjoyed the snow cones.
We had planned to attend the balloon festival early Saturday morning. We slept out in tents the night before and a lighting storm hit at about 1:00am. Kris, Steph, Andy and I carried all the kids in out of the rain to sleep on the floor. When Dad came and asked me at 5:30 if we should wake everyone surprisingly I said no. 
After a great game of kickball and human soccer we loved the fireworks. No wonder the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays.
Believe it or not the Fourth of July Holiday is this weekend. I am so excited to spend time with family. Sleeping outside, going early to the hot air balloons and enjoying a round of kickball and fireworks in the evening. The only thing that might make this better is cinnamon bears and nachos.
The day before we left California boxes were packed and then the truck. This was the box Trey and I packed.
On Friday, May 22nd we started the drive and this was pretty much how Kaden looked when he was awake.
This is what we saw out the window while listening to U2 Joshua Tree. Go figure?
This is all we saw for two straight days of driving...
...and this.
After the first day of driving Trey was a bit sleepy.
On Saturday, May 23rd, Trey got a special present from Mom. If you cannot tell he was excited.
You solved the mystery, it was the movie Bolt.
This was an actually building on the freeway. It was so rare I had to get a picture. The rain was consistent in New Mexico every afternoon that I was there.
There were trains every where. Trey loved it and I realized why Cowboy in Newsies wanted to head to Santa Fe. 
May 23rd we arrived in Albuquerque, New Mexico to an awesome new house for the Lecheminants. Thanks for all the reminders about taking that left turn at Albuquerque!
The hot air balloons came out for the two days after we arrived. Some may say it was for Memorial Day. But I think the balloons were meant to welcome Jeff and Julie. I love you guys. 
For my birthday my mom and I went to see the movie Earth. I highly recommend it. It is a documentary type that is beautiful. Go see it on the big screen. I was fun to go see it with Mom. I love her. 
Afterwards Steph, Mom, Quincey and I went to lunch at Wingers and had fabulous Asphalt Pie. Who could ask for a better birthday than this! 
I had a wonderful day with friends in the gardens at Thanksgiving Point.
The weather was beautiful and so were the flowers.
Emily, Deah, Melinda and Kelly are flowers among flowers.
What an awesome way to celebrate Sarah's and my birthday. Thanks ladies I could not ask for better!
I had a great weekend with Sarah, Kelsey, and Deah. Sarah had the opportunity to stay at a nice resort over night so we tagged along. We had pedicures, manicures, movies, and a night in the hot tub. Talk about fun! This is Deah having her first manicure and pedicure.
Kelsey is queen for a day!
Sarah shows her beautiful toes.
Hot tubing in the snow....
Beautiful feet and
Awesome women!
Matt and Kerri had a new baby girl today that they named Sage.
I was lucky enough to have the time to come and see her and she is beautiful.
It is great to be an aunt!
When my Grandpa Gillespie passed away I found an old typewriter in his office that no one wanted. It, along with an old copy of Silas Marner were the only two things I had from my Grandpa.
As you can see from these pictures the fire in December basically destroyed the typewriter. But with the support of a good roommate, a lot of rust remover, and blessings from above the typewriter has been saved.
Did I mention that I am so blessed!
All of my sisters were in town this weekend so we decided to have a shower for my sister Kerri who is soon to be a mom again. But what started out as a fun party turned into an all nighter that lasted until 5:30am (of course I was smart and went to bed at 4:00).
To add to the fun my sister Julie got me an autographed picture of Mike Tee Vee from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't know about you but this event could beat out Groundhog Day. 
After the race we had a beautiful trip through Arches National Park. This is Deah in front of the Fiery Furnace.
This is Kelly in front of the Prairie Dawg where Deah spent most of her time.
It was a beautiful day...
with great friends.
