Surprise, Guess Who!!

I Surprised everyone and went to Utah this weekend, I had only told Kate and my Mom and it was a very hard secret to keep! I stopped by Dave and Krista's and surprised them on the doorstep, then we went to Collynn and Scott's and I was on the phone with Collynn when we showed up, it was super fun. The best reaction was my Dad's because he was super fooled, and so happy I was home. We had such a fun weekend playing games, shopping and eating, plus my best friend Steph was in town with her new baby and I got to spend time with her and my other super awesome friends! It was cold and fall-ish and beautiful and so so fun!
My Grandma was so cute when we went over she just looked at me for a while and said, are my eyes tricking me? I was so happy I got to see her, she is such a sweet and loving grandma, I have so many wonderful memories of her, and I really miss being able to visit with them each Sunday
Here is the family Halloween party that I missed but I loved seeing the pictures of the great costumes, Barack Obama, the dark knight, Daisy and Donald, Tweedle Dork, Miss Trunchbull, Amy Whinehouse, Optimus Prime, Tinkerbell and a cowgirl all were there. I was a little sad to miss it. As Miss Trunchbull my mom yelled at the kids and they were all scared of her, I love that she stayed in character!

Steph and I had fun trying each others workout videos, getting pedicures and staying up late just like old times...

Playing Crokono with Kate and Karl, I love playing games with the fam, and this game is really a keeper, I wish you didn't have to go to Canada to purchase it.


Our friends Joey and Kathryn, we always have fun, and Joey if you read this, I gave Kev his "gift" and he can't wait till Christmas for the real thing :)
Hanging around on Sunday evenings is one of my favorites, I also love our Smorgasbord dinners, my mom always seems to be able to fix up enough food for everyone, we enjoyed lettuce wraps, brie en croute, pot roast and potatoes, and raviolis, it was delicious!!!!
Collynn and her adorable little baby Ruthie Faye! She is soo cute! It was so fun to be around all the little babies!

What a fun surprise for everyone! You are pretty sneaky:) Collynn's baby is so cute! Does she have a family blog because the one I have for her is your whole family one which I am glad I checked because the recipe for the popcorn balls sound amazing. By the way how tall are you?

IT was SOOOOO FUN having you here. I wish we lived closer like old times. I miss hanging out, working out, talking, shopping, and pretty much doing everything with you! Now we have to plan our next trips so we can see each other!
