Trips Up North

We had less than two weeks in Utah and it went by really fast, but we were able to sneak in some time with my sister Jamie who lives a couple hours from Josh's family.  We had such a short time with her that I was glad Shane instantly bonded with her.  It started with a game of "throw the ball up the stairs".  Stairs in Dominica are only ever outside, so it was pretty exciting that there was a whole staircase for him inside her house. 
We checked out her new house and then went to dinner at Chili's.
Then came home and enjoyed some good old TV on the sectional
Shane thoroughly enjoyed it

Go Lakers!
We enjoyed our 2nd round of Easter spoils
and I especially enjoyed sleeping in my own bed!  Ha ha it is in my sister's guest room so it won't get gross in storage 
Then we woke up early the next morning to make it down to Provo so I could run a 5k with Jake and Becca.  Despite the freezing rain and hail blasting our faces through most of the run, I had a really fun time and it felt good to run a race again.
Later that week we came back up to see their new house and go swimming at an indoor pool.  Man, looking at our siblings' houses may be a teensy bit jealous.  Someday we'll live in a house.  Right?  For now I'll just have to find a way to visit them lots.  We love you guys!

How fun! It's all those little things that are SO nice to go back to, right? Of COURSE you find some way to squeeze in some "superwoman/supermom" activity.... a 5k on vacation... really?

ps- that was meant to be a compliment, not snarky.

So nice you got to see your sister, too. Impressed you did a 5k on your vacation, too! P.S. My mattress is sitting in storage... I hope it doesn't get gross :(

Cute! I know that feeling of being jealous of other people's houses--I feel it too :) I hope you guys are having a good semester so far.

Shane is getting so big. Wow.

Can't wait to see you this summer.

Yes...you'll have a house. With a doctor in the family, it will probably be a terrific one. Your day will come!!!

Looks like a fun trip.

Isn't it great to race again? I miss those days.
