To Sum it Up....

Well, we made it back from vacation. Home sweet home! We had such a good time in Utah with family! We ended up staying for 3 weeks so needless to say I have neglected the blog.....and a lot of other things! My mom drove back with the kids and I so that Phil could stay back in Utah for another rotation at the University of Utah Hospital. He'll come home on the 31st. I'll spare all the details of the trip since we are such a lively bunch :) and just post a few pictures that will somewhat sum it up. I start the new school semester next week so I thought I better get this done before I'm over my head in school.

Oh Mandi, I so wish I would have known you were in Utah, I would have loved to see you. I am sure you had lots of fun plans though. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and vacation. I will have to go and see Shanan for a pedicure sometime, that sounds nice.
