Weekend Away

Jarad and I were lucky enough to get away to Utah over President's Day/Valentine's Day weekend. It was a very short trip but we had lots of fun and even got to relax a bit.


Our flight there was on a very small plane! We even had to walk outside on the tarmat to get on the plane.


If we look a little worn, it is because we had worked all day and then headed straight to the airport to fly out.


While we were there, we got to eat at one of our favorite Utah resturants- Cafe Rio! YUM!!!


The main reason for our visit was to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday. We had a few different celebrations; an adult dinner, a kids party and then an open house. Here is Grandma & Grandpa Tangren at the open house.


We also had fun seeing our Reno neices. Here is Aleah!


Here is Sienna and Mya after playing at the open house.



Jarad in his element! He was helping his aunt take pictures of everyone who came to Grandpa's open house.

We are lucky that our good friends Cole & Maura were willing to put us up for the weekend.

Cole & Maura enjoying some Iceburg shake!


We got Iceburg shakes on our way back to Cole & Maura's after the open house. They have the BEST shakes!


We also got to see our little niece Kate! She is getting so big!
She was loving trying out some new toys.


We sure do love her parents- Chris & Tarina too! So good to spend some time with them as well in the short time we were in Utah.


I was also able to go out to breakfast with a couple of my girls! Thanks Mel & Chrissy (doesn't she have the cutest little basketball belly?!) for coming to breakfast. It was so good to catch up!

We also celebrated Valentine's with a dinner at Teppanyaki's with Cole & Maura before we flew back to Colorado.

Our chef made this fried rice heart for us. Hibachi-style cooking is really fun!


Us- Happy Valentin's Day babe! Thanks for taking me to a nice dinner.


Thanks to Cole & Maura for celebrating love-day with us, putting us up for the weekend, and for being such great friends! We are so excited to meet baby Lansford next time we come!
