one last HURRAH

As I mentioned before, Mia and I had our final girls trip before baby brother arrives (although I definitely don't think this will be our last girls trip!) We spent close to two weeks in Utah visiting family! The main reason we planned the trip is because my family threw my sister in law a baby shower so it made for a really good excuse to visit family one last time before baby comes! It was a long time to be away from Eric and a TON of traveling (we were all over the state) but we had a blast! My body still hasn't recovered but it was totally worth it!

We went to Bruges Waffles and Frites (my fave!!) with Alycia (thank you for indulging my craving, Alycia!!) We walked away for two seconds and came back to Mia taking a huge bite out of the cream piled on top of Alycia's waffle, ha ha. Oops!! Mia tried to act like she didn't do it but....
Finally got a bump photo together! We are due about 6 weeks apart!
 This view will never grow old!
Mia is completely obsessed with my parent's dogs! Of course they are obsessed with her, too!
One of my new, favorite pictures of us together!

We were able to play with friends, soak up the GORGEOUS weather (summer mornings and nights are the BEST in Utah!), see SO much family (including extended family and Mia's great grandparents), play in the rain, go boating, sword fight with cousins (Mia's favorite part, I'm sure!), played lots of guitar courtesy of my dad and brother, had a girl's night with my mom and saw Cinderella (darling movie! can't wait to buy it!) and ate WAY too much good food! Of course I didn't take nearly enough photos! We were on the go the whole time and seriously had so much fun! Thank you to everyone who made this trip such a blast for us!
I can't believe how quickly the time is dwindling of Mia being our only child... we are definitely trying to make the most of it! This girl's trip was definitely one for the books!

Oh my gosh, Mia looks even tinier next to those dogs! So so so glad that you guys had a nice last girls trip (as a family of 3). I'm sure you guys made memories that she'll remember once baby bruddah arrives ;)

Sounds like such a great trip - and so many great photos! I love that you and your SIL are due only 6 weeks apart. It will be so nice for your little man to have a cousin so close in age!

I love all these pictures of you pretty ladies...I just cannot pick a favorite.

It's good that you & Mia got to go enjoy some mama/daughter time before baby brother came. :)

We've had a particularly lovely summer! Glad you go to come up & enjoy it! And how fun that you & your SIL are having babies so close together! Liam has 2 cousins that are less than 4 months older than him. And Finn has two couples just a couple months apart as well!

Aw! I'm so glad you girls had a great trip. Mia is looking more and more grown up! And love that picture of you and Alycia. I've loved following both of your pregnancy journeys. :)

It's so lovely to soak up that time as a family of 3. I remember going into Caleb's room before Levi was born, watching him sleep and crying because I was anxious about how everything would change. Obviously life has changed and it is just amazing now, having another baby is the best! I'm so excited for you and to see how much Mia is going to love her little brother!
