Yes, that's right! We just returned from a "Wicked" Awesome trip to Salt Lake City... You have to say that with a fake Boston accent, kind of like Boston Rob from Survivor Allstars ("Am-Bah!") Anyway, we spent some good time with both sides of our families and we got to meet our beautiful new niece, Maeli Noelle. :) What a sweetie!!!
But the highlight of the trip was going to see Wicked at the Capitol Theater on Saturday afternoon. It was everything we'd hoped for and much more! The best part was being able to see it with my family. Unfortunately, mi cunado Chad had to stay in Florida and do the medical school thing. He was TERRIBLY missed! We love you, Chad... :)
After being wowed by the "Wicked" Awesome performance, we all headed to McGrath's Fishhouse for dinner. It was so good to sit down with my dad and mom and my brothers and sisters for awhile and catch up with each other. Now that we live pretty spread out across the country, it doesn't happen very often. Good times over Clam Chow-dah! he he... Please see above for proper pronuciation guide.
Our week in Utah also included visits to the Living Aquarium, the spectacular Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point, seeing Grandpa and Grandma Stephie and Grandma Gardner (my grandparents), a rousing game of wiffle ball with the Smiths (even though TECHNICALLY we were the only Smith's there!), Noah's very first time feeding ducks, more than one kickin' dance party with the cousins, and so much more! We'll blog more about these adventures later...
So we're back safe and sound in Nebraska and ready to fight the mosquitos! Apparently they decided to come out for the season while we were gone. :)
Have a WICKED AWESOME week!

Uninterupted adult conversation with family is about the best thing ever. That's why for Christmas instead of presents we've started going to dinner as adults in Nate's family... it's a treat.
It was a wonderful week, and I miss you all terribly now that it is over. So glad we got to see WICKED together...it's a memory I will cherish. Love you guys!!
I had so much fun too! As far as kids go, Noah is the bomb diggity dot com. foshizzle.
I love that I'm a floating head in the last picture. Ha. I had so much fun with you! I can't wait for copies of all of these pictures.
