SLC or BUST!

I've probably mentioned it on here before, because I constantly mention it, because…. our little buddy has been so sad. He has been mourning his best buddy moving to Utah. Aidan and Jack are just the cutest together and throw in Jack's brother, Max and Aidan is in dude heaven.

So what to do? Before they move REALLY far away, more south in Utah, we packed up the car and sent Aidan off for a weekend that he said was the best of his life. They are currently staying with Stacie's parents while their new home is being built and Aidan said it is the coolest place on earth (sorry Disneyland). Four wheelers, trampolines, sport courts, you name it… And his best buddy.

So what are the girls to do? Why spend the weekend in a hotel in downtown SLC and do some shopping!

We had a BLAST!!!! This is now a "first annual" girl's trip and we're already brainstorming spots for 2014. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Such a fun weekend with my big girl.

Who is this kid?

After searching, searching, searching and cursing myself for not doing food allergy research beforehand for a "safe" restaurant, we settled on a good old standby. Look at that smile. Love her to pieces.

Dork Diaries. I love that she loves to read.

And be silly. Is she my kid or what?

This was the craziest part. She requested that we work out each morning. Ryan and I were laughing on the phone that this would last 5 minutes tops. Another sign our little babe is growing up, we worked out for an hour each morning and I'm still sore! Don't get me wrong, there were lots of breaks that included dance moves in the mirror, gymnastics and stories that started with, "You wanna know what happened to (insert any 3rd graders name and then a reeeaaaalllyyyy random story)."

And then we went school clothes shopping. Yep, at the end of November. Better late than never people. Don't judge.

Gulp. What did she do with my baby?

Oh and the buns. There was a lot of hair styling this weekend. 

Oh gawwwwwwddddd. Who is she? Really? *Can you tell I'm having a hard time handling these changes?* I kid, I'm extremely proud of the crazy, silly, smart, kind little lady this girl is turning into….

And of course we had to get in a movie. 

Free Birds Fun! 

And a little bowling. Apparently this sign lets me know I'm a "loser." 

More work out.

Stacie kept me posted with such fun pictures. We missed our guys but knew that Ryan was having a much deserved break from the madness that comes along with Morgan, Aidan and myself and we knew Aidan was having a fantastic time. Until next time SLC!!!!
