Down, Set..... birthday!

We were down in Utah county for some weddings 

so we decided to stay a little longer....

and we headed back to Alpine to hang

out with Spencers family.

We rode the motorcycle to Chandlers football scrimmage.

He killed it.

He plays 4 positions and rocks them all.

He had a 71 yd. run in for a touchdown.

Yep, thats my brother! 

There was a huge storm rollin in

so we thought we'd better roll out.

{since we were on the motorcycle}

we barely beat it.

After we went to go see Grandpa Monroe,

but he wasnt at his house

We saw a neighbor and asked where he was....

oh dont even worry 

he was partying it up at a neighborhood party.

The little socialite.

He is so cute, 

i cant even handle it.

He has had 2 broken hips and 

he insisted on pushing his wheelchair, 

not riding in it

He even said

"Annie, get in! I'll give you a little ride"

We chatted for a while and he showed us his

cane for when he is in the ghetto haha.

Take a look:

 {looks like a normal cane}

{then the handle turns into a dagger}

didnt expect it right?

Cute little Monroe cracks me up.

It was Hannah's birthday while we were there 

{our cute little niece}

She refused to wear anything except her

princess dress or her swim suit.

{how adorable is she}

We saw her around dinner time

and Spencers mom threw her a big party

And after she told them we were at their house

and hannah said

"Annie is my favorite, she is my best friend"

umm....

can you say ADORABLE!

I have a special little bond with this cute girl.

Hannah is Tylers little girl

Tyler is Spencers older brother and he

is in Afghanistan right now and has been for a while

He was able to call the girls

and wish Hannah a happy birthday

They surrounded the phone in pure delight

They were SOOO excited they both grabbed a phone

and just started laughing and chatting away 

{at the same time haha}

It's so cute how excited they got.

I cant imagine how hard that would be. 

Later that night we played Croquet with

Hunter and Jared and his new {and very cute}

 girlfriend Courtney.

loved her.

After we came back inside and 

hannah and victoria kept saying

"Look at my moustache"

 {Hannah}

{Victoria}

We had to leave to go pick up my baby sister Kiersten

 at the SLC international airport

She just got back from her Study Abroad 

for 6 weeks in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji

She had a BLAST!

it was so good to see her

We thought we would treat her to her first

American meal in 6 weeks.

We told her she could have anything....

So we headed to Taco Bell

After we drove all the way to pocatello

to see my fam and....

because my older sister and bro in law

flew in from Kentucky!

Yay!

Cant wait for these next few days!
