Utah

From CA we went to Utah, my parents joined us for this part of the journey, in their car was my brother, sister and neice. It was so much fun to have them as part of this trip! My maternal great grandmother lives in Brigham City, so she was the highlight of the journey for me. (oh, yeah, we also went to Lagoon, my FAVORITE amusement park. Check out the video of my brother and I on the catapault!) Another note worth noting: in the video you will hear two people, one person is having a GREAT time and laughing, and the other is giving birth to triplets, I will let you decide which is which! Shout out to my brother though, he and held on to the sacred Kresge name and rode all the "scary" roller coasters, TWICE!

My dad and I at Grandma Dukes....Aren't we truly the "beautiful people!?"

So FUN! Samantha and Richie

PS: Jordan's little sister Shawnie is with us on the trip, she is usually the photographer, thus she is missing in most of these photos! Check out her blog in a few days to see her in these pictures too!

We drove through Utah, made a brief overnight stop in Green River, WY (we went back though, so that will be a separate post.....) and headed to Steamboat Springs CO, for my cousins wedding. It turned out to be a Kresge (my maiden name) family reunion of sorts. My parents and siblings were also there for this leg of the journey. Steamboat is beautiful, we stayed in a three bedroom Condo, and though it may sound spacious, try cramming, a grandpa, a grandma, a SUPERTALL uncle Richie, Aunt Savannah and baby Reagan, Jordan, Samantha, Shawnie and Michaela all into one place~ Talk about loud, chaos and PERFECTION! The wedding was outdoors, very hot but my cousin looked amazing! It was so great to see my cousins, it has been about ten years for some of them! My Aunt and her family came from San Diego, they were missing two daughters, but it was great to see them! And I got to see two of my cousins that I love to see, Gregg and his family and Anthony....... They are the nicest guys! I love hanging out with them, are you allowed to have favorite cousins? Well anyway, here are some pictures.......

California

Michaela enjoying Grammy's BEAUTIFUL yard!

I know it's been a long time since I have posted anything. With good reason though! We have literally made a trek across the US. Our first stop was in Napa Valley California, to visit my paternal grandmother. We had so much fun! Some highlights were: A swim at the country club, visiting with very dear longtime friends and, taking a ferry boat to San Fransisco, playing tag with Grammy Ginny and Michaela got to take some swimming lessons from my dad's brother, Uncle Jeff. Enjoy some pictures from the first leg of the journey.

I am sure there are more highlights that I am forgetting, it was three weeks ago! I have video to upload, but just getting pictures up for the grandparents is feat enough for tonight. Anyway, here's California!

Michaela, Michaela, Michaela!

The grandma's are having a hard time with the Michaela moving, so in order to keep my promise to keep up the blog, I am giving them a preview at my excellent blog updating skills! Here is a small dose of what is to come Grandma's!

The girl LOVES to talk on the phone, this particular time is to her daddy, on his way home from work. The other college is an outfit that I had her in, then she discovered the boots, two sizes too big and HAD to wear them. The wings came a few min later out of the dress up box - what a fashionista we have!
