Utah in October part 1

Okay, since October is now over, maybe I should blog about it...?

I was home for a grand total of nine days the entire month.

Steve had a couple of business trips back to back, so Jaden and I decided to go visit all the family in Utah!

We stayed for three weeks--the 2nd to the 23rd--and got lots of good family time in.

We had a few visits with Great Grandma Hayward...

Visited Aunt Brittany and Aunt Emily on BYU campus...

(miss those mountains!)

Saw Jaden's other "Aunt" Emily when we went to lunch...

Watched Grandma's volleyball game...

Got together with friends...

(Jess, we realized we needed to take a picture as we were all heading out the door and we just missed you! But I'm so glad I got to see you!)

I also got to see several other friends as well but didn't get pictures...??

Anna, Lisa, Ali, Jessie, Mal--thanks for seeing me!

Played lots of piano...

Went miniature golfing...

Cheered on the cougars...

(I consider it my responsibility as a mother to bring Cougar Football into Jaden's life :) and it was SO fun taking him to a game! He was so tired at the end but he did so well.)

Went to see Captain America and carved pumpkins...

And of course there were a couple of family parties, shopping in Park City, and visits to my favorite restaurants:

Baja Cantina, Cafe Rio, Zupas, Kneaders and the Lion House.
