Visiting Grandma Workman in Lehi, Utah!

-

     Day 10: On Thursday we decided that it was the perfect time and opportunity to visit my Great-Grandma Workman! I love her so much and I was so excited to see her! We ate another quick but adequate breakfast at the hotel and then hopped into the car ready for another scenic drive. We left the hotel at around 10:00am and we started our route to Lehi, Utah! At around 4pm we decided that we ought to redeem ourselves of Pizza Pie Café and so before we stopped at her house we would already be fed. The food was delicious and the crowd was small. I did drop a cinnamon stick on my shoes but it was overall a good experience! After dinner we headed to see Grandma. We were invited in with a warm welcome from another family member Mandy who was taking care and living with her. They were so sweet and gave us cookies. We chatted for a couple of hours about family history, memories, and just life in general. I was named after her and her mother Lola and I feel so lucky to have her in my life. She told stories about my grandpa and about all of her memories. She read us books and even gave me a book to call my own about one of my pioneer great grandfathers. After a wonderful visit we decided it was time to check in to the hotel. After a tearful farewell we left and spent the rest of our evening swimming and relaxing.

 It has been so long since I have written on my blog!!! I have so much to catch up on here! On the last day of school (which was way back on May 27th) My family and I got together with the Armstrongs and we had a last day of School/ Glow party in the church gym! We played around on scooters and with glow sticks and we also presented a couple of projects we had been working on throughout the year. We've gone to Roaring Springs several times (Twice when my mom was out of town on a sisters weekend in Utah. She got to see Les Miserables at a really nice theater. I was so extremely jealous.) I got to see my friend Lydia there quite a bit. Britton overcame his fears and went on both drop slides! Honestly if that was me, I probably would have thrown up or passed out.  Maybe I'm being dramatic but watching him go down......... *holds stomach in place* While my mom was in Utah seeing my favorite Broadway music on stage....I was doing yard work in my backyard listening to the movie vers...

Happy Birthday Dad! These past few weeks have been full of fun festivities as we have celebrated my dad's 40th birthday. We had an epic surprise party for him, bringing almost all of his family up discreetly . He already knew that 2 of his sisters were coming and so we hung out with them for the first day and then on Friday the 13th we sent him to Costco with Cari. The party was soon to begin. Lori, her kids, my mom, me, and my brothers started setting up the party. Then at about 3:30 guests started to arrive. My grandma and grandpa Wheeler, my great-grandma  Janice  my uncle Jeff, and my cousin Grayson all traveled from Utah to celebrate the occasion. Once they all arrived we started to divide and conquer as we finished decorating and preparing for the party. We decided to put my grandma Janice on the front couch with a Davy-Crocket Coonskin hat and a massive green party hat on top of her head, and had her pose with a stone expression while the rest of us hid behind a wall.
