Travelin'

Aaron's grandpa Dahl passed away in early February. There was a funeral in San Diego and then one in Utah. Popular guy! We were lucky enough to go to both and make a road trip out of it. It was nice spending time together and seeing family!

Just like any grandparents house there are many things to play with. Leave it to Aaron to find a sword.

Matt got a little exercise in after the luncheon of the funeral...

The service was nice all 5 children spoke and true to Dahl form, there were many laughs.

And we were all mesmerized at the luncheon. It was at a gorgeous house with fancy food. and the best dessert I have had..... in a REALLY long time.

I totally went back 3 times. (oinker...)

We decided to leave after the luncheon and drive to Vegas and spend the night and then drive the rest of the way to Utah that next day (Saturday)

Look what we found heading out of San Diego. I'm taking Nay here when he comes home. Fo Sho.

Since Aaron and I live in the DARK AGES, we do not own a GPS, so Aaron's dad let us borrow his. It made the trip SO much easier. With minimal fighting too!

There is totally a chocolate by the bald man restaraunt in Vegas! And, even though it was midnight, and I was stuffed, we made a trip there. Luckily Aaron didn't eat any lighter fluid this time. Although that made a very memorable trip!

So, this chunk of chocolate that i'm holding costs 400.00 smack-a-roo's. REALLY??? Plus think of all the crowns you will need after biting into this and breaking teeth.

it MIGHT be worth it.

On our way out of Vegas we stopped by the outlets, naturally. Which was a success, naturally.

We stopped by the motor speedway cuz weeks before Brad the Bachelor took his mistresses here. And sadly enough, I'm addicted to that show.

Who knew there was a brick oven in St. George?????? Not us! (Basically this roadtrip was all about food...)

We stopped by Aim and Corbs to see new baby Asher. Starbursts were included at this visit.

Ohhh he is so cute! And, I'm so excited to announce Aim and Corb are coming here for dental school! We'll be together once again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday morning (Feb 13) we headed up to Logan to see Aaron's best friend Curtis and Jessie. It was a perfect day in Logan. Not too cold which I was SO excited about. I HATE COLD!

I guess I don't get out much and I had never seen the Logan temple. We walked by the temple and it is so gorgeous!

The Fletchers and the Dahls. We are excited to have them move back in September. We love having friends!

This is Heather. And she loves Sam. lets face it: who doesn't?!?!?!?!??!!!
The night before the funeral we had a get together at Greg and Lorraine's. We had a great dinner and spent time together.

So Aaron's aunt Paula got onsies for the babies. To decide who got the set of onsies we put them in the middle of the room and the babies had a race and whoever touched them first won!

Sammy boy did it! (I think baby Logan was scared at all the noise and caused performance anxiety....)

Monday February 14 there was the funeral in Sandy. After the service we had the memorial. Here are all the pallbarers (sp?). Have I mentioned Aaron's family are the tallest humans around??

These were my favorite flowers. They were like fire orange-red. I loved them!

We love grandpa Dahl and will miss him very much!!!!

Family picture when it was freaking freezing and the wind was blowing my dress up. Recipe for disaster!

After the memorial we headed back to the church where we had 14 different versions of funeral potatoes and some awesome brownies.

Kids love Aaron. Which is pretty dang cute.

Us with Phyllis. We love her and she took great care of grandpa Dahl

After the luncheon (and it was also Valentines day) we decided to hang out on our own. Aaron was kind enough to take me to Tai Pan and shop around. We headed to Oquirrh Mountain temple cuz Aaron had ever been!

We decided to go to Draper temple too! I love this temple!

But I do not love the freezing-ness and the super windy wind that night.

After, Aaron took me to my favorite restaraunt in all of Utah. ZUPAS! That's what I'm talkin about!

Me with my soup and salad that I look way too excited about....

Aaron loving his first Zupas experience. He did quite well in his first visit.

Even though we were at a funeral all day, it was freezing and it was Valentine's day, we still had a blast being together and spending time with AWESOME family!
