Trip to Salt Lake

Valentines Day weekend we made the drive up to Provo/Salt Lake for Summer's Bridal shower.  We left Friday morning and drove up only stopping once (not intentionally-just how it worked out) and my poor legs were not happy with me.  I am so used to doing that drive and not stopping often, but being 35 weeks pregnant and not stopping enough did not make my back or my legs happy.  Oh well, I learned my lesson!

Friday afternoon we arrived, had lunch, and did some much needed baby girl shopping.  I could have bought so many things but tried to limit myself to only the things we "needed".  I am in trouble with a girl.  There are just too many cute things!  I have really been trying not to over buy though cause we had so much stuff with Calin that we didn't need.  Plus we have to get this basement paid for!!

After shopping we met up with Erich at his apartment (Allie was working) and hung out there for a while visiting and letting Calin play over there.




He then had to go to work so we went and did some more shopping until we met up with Summer and Josef for pizza at their soon to be apartment where Josef is living now.  We didn't want to go out since it was Valentines Day and we knew it would be crazy!! Robby and I aren't super big on Valentines Day so we weren't too worried about getting out to celebrate anyways.

After dinner we went back to the hotel and got Calin ready for bed and then visited with my parents for a little while once they arrived from Oregon.

The next morning I got up and left Robby and Calin still sleeping to go and meet up with all the girls for a trip to get blow outs.  Becca, Summer, Allie and I all went together and had a lovely morning getting our hair washed, dried and styled.  So fun to have someone else do your hair and make it look good!!





After our blow outs we headed over to the Lion House for a Summer's shower.  It was so fun to celebrate Summer, and visit with family.  Summer is so much fun and we are so excited to have her join our family!! So excited for the wedding and glad we were able to make it up for the shower to see everyone.  I often wish we lived closer so I could be around my family more often!

Lundberg Girl Cousins (minus a few) at the shower. 
 While I was "hanging out with the girls" (what Robby told Calin), Robby and Calin were "hanging out with the boys".  Robby and Calin made a trip to Hobby Lobby for some new airplanes and then met up with my dad and brothers to go to Cabelas.  I think they could both spend all day there!  Then they went to have Romanian Schuarmas (sp?) with the boys at a new place in Provo Town Center that Josef heard was pretty authentic.  They also lucked out and got to hit up the Red Balloon Toy Store and got Calin a new sticker book.

I met up with them back at the hotel after we stopped for a little shopping after there shower.  Calin and Robby had gone to take a nap.  We went a did another last minute shopping trip and then met up with everyone at Macaroni grill for dinner.  We got there a little early and hung out in the parking lot. Calin was having fun playing in the dirt and visiting with Aunt Becca, Grandma, and Grandpa.

Becca spoiled us with lots of amazingly wonderful presents for Baby Girl that evening.
So excited to use all this cute stuff! 

Some cute pictures Aunt Becca got with Calin.  Becca also got Calin a new book!
Some of the family waiting to be seated. Calin was loving going through Becca's wallet
and playing with all her cards.  He loves cards and wallets!  

Calin shared a bunch of Robby and I's dinner.  After he finished he went over to visit grandma and saw her big bowl of spaghetti noodles.  His eyes got SO BIG and excited and so he had a few more bites of her dinner too.   He loves noodles and can eat and eat them! No idea where they go to!? 
 After dinner we went back to the hotel with everyone and played a game for a while.  It was fun to just be able to hang out with the whole family and enjoy some relaxed time together.  Wish we were all closer to hang out more often!

The next morning we ate breakfast at the hotel with grandma and grandpa and then sent them on their way back to Oregon.  We went back to the room and packed up our stuff and then headed on our drive back to St. George.  It was a much longer drive with lots of stops so that my back and legs would not be quite so uncomfortable as the drive up! (I learned that lesson the hard way!)

Calin was enjoying wandering the halls and loved to push the buttons for the elevator. 

Checking outside with grandma and grandpa before they leave. 

It was too short a trip, but still good to be able to visit everyone and be able to go to the shower.  We are thankful to be able to travel to see them even though it isn't as often as we'd like.  We are excited to see everyone again soon for the wedding and see my parents when they come down for the arrival of baby girl and for their spring break!
