Maybe it's because...Utah trip Home :)

Maybe it's because Brookie and Amber picked me up from the airport with a beautiful pink sugar cookie waiting for me on my seat,

~maybe it's because all my sister's met up @ Brooke's house Friday night and took me out! (we went to Biaggi's at the Gateway! and then to Jane Eyre. loooved the show :) kind of spooky!

~Maybe it's because the second I was with my girls, it felt like home.

~maybe it's because I couldn't take my eyes off those grand ole' mountains of mine.

~maybe it's because it snowed and snowed and it felt so cozy.

~maybe it's because we drove up to my old house and I could see my 2 sisters homes and I cried a bit, ( a happy cry..for the memories. Feelings of 2009/10 came rushing back. A year to remember..cousin love, walks, late nights..etc)

~maybe it's because I can talk all night with my sisters/fam. We don't miss a beat. I felt like I never left.

~maybe it's because I woke up in the Mountain House and my Dad cooked us up homemade crepes, fresh fruit and bacon. Brooke, Brie and Bran eating breakfast with us...joyous morning.

~maybe it's because I spent a whole 30 minutes just with my Dad talking about our lives..catching up.

~maybe it's because I went with my mom to Rodworks, just like the good ole. days! checked out some lovely house stuff. (oh how I miss UTAH stores!!)

~ maybe it's because I got to go to lunch with 2 of my bestest (that is NOT a word I know) friends who mean the world to me.

~maybe it's because we laughed and talked for almost 3 hours, catching up and chatting about life, kids, families, and marriage :) Happy Birthday Nat :)

~ maybe it's because I drank ice cold diet coke with my girls.

~maybe it's because I got to visit the Buckle (my Faaaaavorite store!) with my girls again:) it felt like good old times :)

~maybe it's because I got to go to Misty house and hang out. Her home so warm and inviting...I hugged Dax and Trey and Cole..oh how I miss my nephews (and nieces of course too!)

~maybe it's because I got to see all of my darling niece (more like a sister to me) Ali's (misty's daughter!) wedding plans. Bridesmaid dresses, colors, we talked about ALL the details...I loved every second.

~maybe it's because I got to go to Baby Penny's first Birthday party and see my entire family. It was so great to see everyone's cute face again :)

~maybe it's because I got to chat with my twin brother, Troy and his wife, Kristin and catch up on eachother's lives. (we are committing to a Triathalon! :) oh yeah.

~ maybe it's because I devoured like 5 delicious cupcakes all in honor of Baby Penny.

~Maybe it's because we all went to Cafe Rio and ate some delicious pork salad and talked and talked...most of the crew came. It was so fabulous (especially with the snow falling down....) ( this pic taken after midnight! oh man, I look so tired! no sleep ever :) maybe 10 hrs total!

Maybe it's because I have a hubby who loves me and sends me home whenever I need my love pot filled:)

~Maybe it's because it felt so great to be able to go home to Utah for 42 hours..... that I am able to come home to my home in Colorado:)

and......maybe...maybe... it's why I am so darn happy to see these kiddos:

when I got off the plane, we went on a walk behind our home...the wheat fields as tall as Jake..

We walked the back route down to our Rec Center and lake. We explored the secret pond, ran up and down the hills, found coyote dens, warmed ourselves by (Anthem's complimentary gas) fire, threw rocks into the lake, and chatted about eachother's weekend. Ry was Mrs. mom taking the Austin and Jake to their flag football games (48-6! yes)and soccer games. (2-1 yay!) Then they were off to the movie Hop, bought new Nike shoes for Aus, took kiddos to lunch and then to his office to switch offices. (corner office now his:) What a busy weekend for all. (sorry for the crazy spaces! my blog is being stubborn! ahhh) (and next pic is off my Android, thus a bit blurry!)

What a great weekend I had. I feel so lucky to have all of YOU each and every day. Love it. and you! My love pot is now filled. Bottom Line: I think I have the best of both worlds. xo!
