Last minute trip to Utah

Last weekend I took a quick last minute trip to Utah. We got the house rented so I went to meet our great new renters. It ended up being a fun, eventful weekend. Since I booked my flight Thursday night and flew out Friday afternoon, I decided I was going to surprise my sisters. 

When I pulled up to Melissa's house the garage was open so I snuck in through the garage door, tip toed in and surprised Jenessa who was sitting at the computer in the kitchen. We came up with this great plan for me to hide in the pantry. Poor Melissa was not sure what to think when she opened up the door.  LOL! She screamed, closed the door, opened the door, screamed, closed the door, opened the door. I screamed because she scared me screaming. Poor Deno who had just flown in himself was on the phone trying to figure out why everyone was screaming and why Melissa was standing in the pantry. (Everyone thinks we look so much alike). It was so much fun!

It wasn't until after 10:30 that night that I found Lorilee. We pulled up to her house and were just trying to figure out how we could get in without them seeing us on the camera when  all of the sudden the garage door started to open. "Get down" my mom screamed. Out came Trent, he stood there trying to figure out why the drivers seat door was open and my mom was sitting in the passenger side laughing when I jumped out.
Lor was in her bedroom feeding the baby so I just went running in snapping a picture. Surprise :)
I spent most of Saturday doing house stuff and then went to dinner at Market Street with my family that night. Sunday, being in the right place at the right time (Utah) I got to be at church with Trent and Lorilee when Trent was called to be the 2nd councilor in the bishopric. I have never been in the room when a bishopric was set apart and it was a neat experience. I know he will do a great job.
After church I went to Maxfield's for Grandma Arleen's 88th birthday. Jim and Amanda were up from St. George for the weekend and Casey and Sharon came by. It was great to spend time with everyone.
Grandma and Grandpa are amazing. Grandma is suffering with  Alzheimer's and Grandpa does such a great job taking care of her. At 92 Grandpa is as sharp as a tack. He can remember dates and events from the past like you would not believe.

Later that evening I joined my family. It was fun to get to see baby Trevan again. A few months make a huge difference in the first 6 months.

We ended up hanging out until really late. We talked, laughed, talked and laughed some more. Did a little aerobics , Jennessa and Lorilee had a few arm wrestles, looked through some hand me down clothes, talked and laughed some more and just had a great time. I was very lucky to get the weekend visit.
