October Utah trip

Since Bryan was so busy this month with school and tests, i decided to take the girls and go on a nice long 3 week vacation to Utah. We had so much fun hanging out with all of our friends and family! The girls sure missed their Daddy though and Bry could barely stand having us gone for so long. I'm sure he was able to get so much more accomplished without our distractions.

The girls helped Grandma and Grandpa rake the leaves. Actually more like scatter the leaves they just raked :)Grandpa Hendriks let the girls ride his horse "Red"! Kaitlyn had no fear. She looked like a natural . Ashley did ok but would get a little nervous at times. While we were in Utah the girls had their Birthday (Oct 12th) . I can't believe Ashley is now 2 and Kaitlyn turned 4! We had a little Birthday party for them. It was fun being able to celebrate with family! I made 1 cake mix in the 2 round pans so they could each have their own. Then we sang happy Birthday separately. I hope the don't end up hating sharing a Birthday as they get older. For now it's just fun for them to have a big party together.
My good friend Holly and I went to Gardener Village to check out all their fun stores and Halloween decorations. It's fun having a friend that you can go months without seeing and just be able to pick right up where you left off . Thanks for all the fun Holly! It was fun hanging out with you too Steph. Next time I need to snap some pictures of us. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
We will see you all again at Christmas. This time i will bring my hubby with me. No one deserves a vacation more than him. :)
