Utah Fun!

The dinosaur Museum was a lot of fun. There was so much for the kids to do. Not a dull moment.

Popcorn...Yum!

This 4x4 was a lot of fun for the kids to ride. They could have ridden it all day long if we let them.

The kids loved the swimming pool. It had a slide all the kids really loved going down.

We got to ride on a wagon being pulled by horses. It was pretty bumpy, but fun.

Gav was so happy to ride the horse. He wanted another ride, but we only had one ticket. Maybe next time.

Gavin was talking to the horse before he rode it. He was telling the horse "hello". After the ride, he told him "thanks for the ride".

These are just a few pictures from our trip to Utah. It was amazing to me how many pictures were taken in just a few days time. We had a lot of fun, and we have a LOT of pictures to show for it. We (Gavin, Ashlyn and I) went to visit my niece Jullian and my friend Aubrey. We all have kids around the same age, so we hung out together and let the kids play. We went to the Dino museum, a water park, a petting zoo, went shopping at some really great home decor stores and spent a lot of time outside in the beautiful Utah sun. We really had a great time, thanks to Jullian. She is an awesome host. It couldn't have been a better vacation. So thanks girls for a great time. And yes...we'll meet again, 2010 in Ohio!!

Air plane ride to Utah

This was Ashlyn's first airplane ride. She did really well. Gavin was very excited to ride on a "big" airplane. He's been on airplanes several times, but he is always just as excited as the first time.

These kids are amazing! I feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to have the chance to be a mother. I love all the fun, laughter, and learning it brings to my life.

I love that Dylan likes to choose the right, and wants to be a good person. I love that Gavin tries to make people smile, and be happy. I love Ashlyn's sweet spirit, and the joy she brings to our family. Every day I feel blessed because I have such a wonderful husband and three beautiful children, and they make me the happiest person in this world.

Imagination Base Ball Game

We went to the park the other day, and the kids were getting tired of playing on the toys. So Kylee, always thinking of great things to do with the kids, started a fun game of imagination base ball. The kids were totally into it! They all took a few turns pretend batting, then running the bases as the outfielders would catch the pretend ball and try to get the runner out. Even some kids from the park that we didn't even know started playing, it looked so fun.

Air Show

I had all my brothers and sisters, (there are 7 bro. and sis. total) and their families in town this last week for our family reunion. One of my brothers and his fam. got here from Texas a few days early. We went to the air show, and had a good time looking at all the cool planes. We even got to go on some of them.

Thunder Birds

This show was awesome! Very loud, (the kids all had to use ear plugs) but worth the noise, for sure. Dylan was totally into getting all the pilots to sign a picture he had of all the Thunder Bird planes. He got 3 of them. He is such a shy guy, so I was really proud of him for going through a crowd of people, by himself, to ask for their autographs.
