What happens in Utah...

What happens in Utah...

...stays in Utah... (or on my blog)

I am having just too much fun:

......shopping @ Home Depot...DI...Walmart...back to Home Depot...Ross...Sam's Club...Home Depot again - hey wait...we have those in Arizona...so 'TaiPan Trading' is the redeeming factor...

(somewhat like 'Kirkland Homes' but much bigger...)
......

......partying with 'the girls' @ Dayla's.....

....pigging out on good food

(don't worry... plenty of junk too)

...and playing 'True Colors' & 'Perpetual Notion'

(the latest 'nerd' game we got at DI)

Too bad I didn't get pics because the 'Wistie and Diana' team were getting pretty intense. 'Nana (my mom) & Sonya' were the ultimate 'out of the box' thinkers, though, since 'Marci was too busy playing by herself cause Shelly' was 'multi-tasking' and giving pedicures at the same time...of course 'Dayla & the mom' (me) were struggling to hold our own since we are both so non-competitive ...(hee)

...........

......watching Conference...mornings with Dayla and afternoons with my mom...got to see & hold

the new babe

(Kenny & Erica's new 1 month old)...so cute...

...proud papa...

......
......eating Easter dinner @ Marci's with great food (Marci made symbolic 'empty tomb' rolls), egg hunting & games...

(we won't mention Bob's hair or Dayla's height

-or lack thereof- again...)
......
......going to a funeral (my cousin, Claudette's husband) with my mom & sisters and seeing 'old' cousins

that I haven't seen for 40 yrs. or so...

...nothing like a bad pic for a reality check-

(speaking for myself...)

.......
......going out to eat...Macaroni Grill...Bajio...Cafe Rio...something Italian...oh ya - Gloria's Little Italy...eggplant never tasted so good...
......
......playing '10,000' with Dayla & Andrew...and more 'Perpetual Notion' (the new 'fave')...

......
......building pantry shelves...... hanging curtains........patching walls........rearranging furniture
...all fun(?) stuff...

.........
......visiting with Paul while he fixed Dayla's closet door after driving his route back from St. George at midnight...
......
......watching Dayla's swing dance routine
(I finally remembered the camera)

...that they will perform on Saturday after I leave....

...shakin' it with Grant...

...good catch!!!

.......

.....practicing with Dayla & Katrina for a clarinet duet, "The First Vision", to be performed at a Ward Musical Fireside in the Madsen Hall HFAC on Sunday after I leave....sigh...

......Navajo tacos & rootbeer floats at Shelly's...yum!...and of course 'Perpetual Notion' again!....(Kenny & Erica, Marli & her dad-Bret, Bow & his mom-Shelly, Stockton & Nana were all worthy team opponents for Jaxon & me...)...oh yeah...we put a vinyl sign for Bret's new business (insurance) on Shelly's 'now nerd mobile'...

(again...no pix)

.......

......Dayla getting a flat tire on the way home from Salt Lake...

...finding joy in the crisis...

......

......last minute painting touch-ups and more rearranging furniture...sigh...it's been a long week...

...time to go home and rest from my 'vacation'...
