This weekend was all about family for me and Trev. After spending a very eventful Saturday with the Andersons, Monday was spent in good old Utah County with my family. Sometimes that's all it takes to remind you who you are and where you've come from. Even though our two families are very different, they are both so crucial to who we are today. We had a great first 4th of July being married. Hotdogs, lemonade, strawberries and cream, a nice breeze and great company. What more could we ask for? We've got some very special people in our life.
We started our day at the Mutual Dell with the Johnson Clan. Trevor had never been up AF Canyon which was a shame since I spent so much of my time there growing up. He also learned that no matter how much time I spent up the canyon, I still hate dirt in my toes and am a pansy mountain woman. We had a BBQ at the cabin and got to spend some time with my dad. Life always get's more exciting when you get my Dad and Trevor together. They help each other understand me a little bit more each time.
My grandma and her husband bud came over to mom's house tonight for the BBQ. I have such fun grandparents, but Grandma Charleen is one of a kind. She has taken such great care of me my whole life and is about as hip and stylish as granny's get. The best part is that she adores Trevor. I have to laugh everytime she calls because Trev and his wellbeing are very important to her. Me and my big sis have always been granny's girls. It's hard not to be. We were very excited to see her.
I am surrounded by women in this world that I admire and adore, but this one trumps! My Mama... ( she hates it when I call her that haha) She recently got married and we honestly haven't spent much quality time at home since the event. But when I do, I always realize how much I miss her.
After Mom and granny, there are 3 other very special ladies that I would do anything for. My best friend and her two little superstars. It's actually crazy how much they all three are alike. They all always look their best. Whether it's great hair or great bows. They can make you think the world is coming to an end when a bug comes around. And even if they are raging mad at you one second, blink and it will all be over and they will love you again. My family would never be the same without Chan and her two girls, Fin and Brink.
This one is the worst! Don't be deceived by those adorable blue eyes. She'll have you wrapped around her finger before you even realized you're whipped over this 2 year old! Even Uncle "T" will chase her around and play ball for hours.This is one girl that knows what she wants and get's it just because you can't resist her. I may be no more than treats and kisses to this one, but being an aunt is unlike anything I've ever experienced.
Brinkley is just a dream. She is one of the happiest babies I've ever seen. She could make anyone want to have a baby!
This 4th of July couldn't have gone better.
