Birchell Family: Cedar City

Thursday morning Brilee, my Mom, and I headed to visit Stacia, GGMA, GGPA, and AJ in Cedar City. We had a long drive with Brilee only sleeping an hour of the way and screaming the other four. We were very happy to get to Stacia's. We visited with Stac and Manny (Macy's cute puppy that Brilee is obsessed with) until it was time for her to go to class. She took off about the same time the Cali crew showed up! We headed to their hotel and got all caught up with them, and waited for Stacia to get out of class. We went back to her place hung out, and then went to the Pizza Factory for dinner. It was delicious! We went back to Stacia's after dinner to make plans for the evening. Brilee was tired, but wasn't about to miss the party. We decided to go watch Macy dance, and my mom stayed to put Brilee to sleep. Macy did a great job (there were some interesting dances... not hers, but the intermediate group... WHOA!) Brilee went right to sleep for my Mom. She left her on Stacia's bed and in the blink of an eye Manny was on the bed waking her up. Brilee was stoked! She ended up staying awake until almost 11. Friday we woke up, went to breakfast (humph!), Stacia went to class, and so we went to Wal-Mart. Brilee was the most spoiled baby in Cedar! She walked out of the store pushing a new stroller and new baby! She was pretty happy. She and GGMA decided to stay at the hotel and relax (Brilee slept) while we walked the campus with Stacia. It is a beautiful campus with a fun and relaxed feel to it. Grandpa was invited numerous times to the techno dance... Stac, Amelia, Keeira, Brilee, and I then went to Ninja for some yummy sushi! Brilee loved the fish aquarium. I loved all the baby-sitters at the restaurant. After lunch we took the girls to the park to let them play. They were so sweet. Finally, it was time to swim! Brilee is a fish. Poor girl loves the water, but the water doesn't love her. Every time she swims we have ear issues. We are going to talk to the ear doctor about ear plugs. Kee had a great time swimming too! The rest of the evening was spent chatting and hanging out at Stacia's. It was way fun! This morning we went to IHOP with the fam and Stac's friends, said our farewells, and then hit the road! Brilee slept a lot of the way home. She was soooo excited to see her Daddy in the driveway when we pulled in. She missed him. Thanks so much for the fun weekend! We love you all, and can't wait until Thanksgiving/Christmas to see everyone.
