Utah WITHOUT Daddy

After the wedding Caleb had to go back home so that he could finish up his 5th trimester at school. We were defiantly sad to see him go, but excited to get to spend some quality time with family and friends. This post is all about our time in Utah WITHOUT daddy.

The first week there was not as much fun as we had hoped for. Lucy was having "issues" and Makayla broke out in a crazy rash. We still have no idea what is was, and are very thankful that it went away and it didn't seem to bother her too much. Not having insurance, because you are out of state, and not having your husband there sure makes for one stressed out mom!

This is what covered her entire body!

So sad!

(don't you just love his smile!)

We loved getting to spend so much time with family!

We were in Utah for the Super Bowl, and my brothers are big Packers fans, so of course we had to have pictures with the cheese head!

If their Uncles have anything to say about it these two girls will be saying "Go Pack Go" when they are older!

One of the rare times that Makayla actually took a nap and of course it was on Grandma's lap. So Grandma used it as an excuse for her to take one to, after all she couldn't get up!

We also celebrated Valentine's Day while in Utah without daddy, but he still managed to make the day special for us even though he was so far away. These are the beautiful flowers that he sent to us. I love that he wants to make his girls feel special and sends them their own rose to enjoy. He also sent them the cute shirts they are wearing with a special Valentine note.

She loved to smell it.

My Valentines this year!

Since we didn't get to spend Valentines with daddy this year we went to our good friends house and made some good old fashioned sugar cookies. Since we did this at Christmas this has become one of Makayla's most favorite things to do.

Look at how good she has gotten at it too!

Just hanging out with her best buds Kyson and Taylee. We sure did have a lot of fun with these two while in Utah!

We also got to celebrate a lot of birthdays while we were there. Both of my parents have there birthday in February and we were lucky enough to be there this year to celebrate it with them. Makayla loves to sing happy birthday and make cakes. This is the one we made for Grandma.

(just in case you were wondering sprinkles can and do go bad. We used some sprinkles my mom had in her cabinet not knowing how old there were and lets just say no one got to enjoy the cake! haha)

These are just a few of the fun things we did while we were there. We did lots of other stuff, but I didn't get pictures of everything we did so this will have to do! Next post will be all about the fun we had while daddy was in Utah!
