"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." -Joseph Smith

Drew's bday + Valentines + St George = Good Times!

My parents were going to St George and we decided to tag along! Rie had her first road trip! On the way down she did really well. She only got sick of it for the last little bit but daddy kept her entertained! On the way back she decided long trips were for the birds, but Grandma & Grandpa kept her happy with toys and playing! I was in the front trying not to get motion sick. :(

We stopped by the cheese factory in Beaver to get Cheese Curds.

For Drew's b-day dinner we ate at Pollo Loco...

Where we ALL ate...

 

Aria was definitely the star of the trip. We were so bored when she was napping!  We did get in some shopping and things and it was a lot of fun! It was nice to get away for a few days and get in some nice relaxation! We even got in some BBQ'in!
 

Since it was so warm down there Rie got to experience sitting in the grass and playing with the leaves. We went on walks, and Grandma showed Rie all the pretty trees around the area. I think those two had the most fun together!

 

Valentines Morning there was a special present waiting for Rie...


It was a new cute green and pink striped outfit! 

My Mom and I made breakfast Valentines morning with heart-shaped pancakes, sausage and eggs!



On the way home we stopped in Beaver again. And in the parking lot is a huge chair! So, naturally, we climbed on it!
