what do you do when one of your favorite nephews wants you to fly into town for his birthday?

You do it of course. Even if it means braving the cold and snow.



And you go to one of his favorite places for lunch.

And eat food like this.



With fry sauce.


What can I say? I'm a sucker for a cute face.


Connor even made the sacrifice to go, too.


Happy Birthday Colton!
xoxo

You do it of course!! That Hires Big H looks delicious!! And I love Hires fries they are soooo greasy. I always get the lemon chicken sandwich it is so stinking good! Looks like fun! And he is a cutie patootie! :)N

You are so good to sacrifice for a loved one! ;)
YAY for Fry Sauce!!
And your nephew could be YOURS! What a cutie!!

Vanessa said...

Awww, who can resist that cutie? Both of them of course!

Pedaling said...

connor is such a good sport. ;)

Cynthia said...

So cute! Ah, the perks of being the wife of LuvPilot. That's probably the only reason your Mom let him steal you away from here- he can get you back here for BIG moments like that!

And I'm not going to ask which hamburger joint that is because I'm avoiding the new ones lest I develop a taste for their yummy offerings. Can't miss what I haven't had!

Krista said...

Mmmm. i love hires!

Kristina P. said...

I could eat a burger every day, every meal.

Plain Jame said...

Dang, that burger looks too good!

Justin said...

Cute pics, but I gotta ask you one thing...

Who the crap is that psycho woman in the background of your picture with Colton? Do you see her? It looks like her disembodied head is growing out the side of your cranium!

Crazy times at the Hires Big H.

(I wish I could have gone... dang job!)

You must be the most awesomest aunt in the world!!! What a lucky little fellow!
Hope he had a great day.

rad6 said...

happy birthday to your way cute nephew, and tell him congrats for having the most amazing aunt on the planet!!!
very nice...
I heard a statistic not to long go about the percentage of children that are happy and successful in life directly correlating to how many extended family love and care for them! It is so healthy for all!!! Sweet!

alpinekleins said...

Yeah, I'd fall for that cute face anytime! You're looking particularly tan and beautiful :)

CB said...

What a great Aunt and what a lucky boy! He does indeed have a very cute face!:)

Mama's Makin's said...

I think Utah has the best rootbeer, ice cream and all that sort of stuff! :) Yummy!

mCat said...

Hell yeah you do it for that cute face and for Hires!

collette said...

What a nice Auntie you are. Colton was a happy guy! and Justin...that psycho woman is the waitress. I didn't notice at the time that she was trying to get in the pic!

Fuzzy Slippers said...

Aw, tell him Happy Birthday from me, too!

And my goodness that burger looks divine! Now I am craving one . . .

Unknown said...

K, the nephew looks JUST LIKE YOU! What a sweet aunt you are! And I love Hires, too. They have the BEST ice! I know, that's weird, but you don't always get that little chunky ice everywhere!

We left Utah 20 years ago, and the first time we asked someone in Seattle for "fry sauce" they looked at us like we were idiots. I can tell you for a fact that Mountain Home, Idaho, is the last place between the Utah border and the North Pole where you can ask for fry sauce and they'll know what you're talking about.

Happy Birthday to the little guy!

donna said...

you are such a great Aunt!

Are You Serious! said...

♥ That's awesome! What an awesome aunt!! :)

Jamie said...

Oh soo fun! That is one lucky nephew.

Lene said...

How could you resist a face like that?!?

And I was wondering the same thing Justin was...she's kind of scary!

raising4boys said...

You must be his favorite aunt!! We all knew you were craving UT fry sauce. Mmmmm now i want a Root beer float.

What a fun trip and birthday for the birthday boy :)

You two are such good sports!

Amy said...

It was so worth braving the cold! Hires is right by my man's office... I always want to eat there when I meet him for lunch and we have yet to go there... I am taking a stand for some fry sauce.

Maria said...

What a doll baby!! Of course you go, that was a no brainer!!

Did you get a doggie bag? I'd love one of those burgers!!

~Lori said...

So I take it that it was Hires fry sauce you brought home not Arctic circle. Even better!! Didn't I just say something about Hires to you? I am so jealous!! I can taste that right now and a vanilla diet coke!

Missy said...

OH! He is cute! I would have went to!

Unknown said...

I'm going on four days trying out a meatless lifestyle and that burger is sending me over the edge! Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.

Scrappy Girl said...

Oh the fabled fry sauce...

And that burger...yummo!

Happy Bday to Colton.

Unknown said...

What a good Aunt you are! Yikes that burger is huge! Forget the cookie bars, that thing will blow a diet out of the water faster than you can say thunder thighs! What is it 3000 calories? Hope it was good!

Anonymous said...

kado! said...
