Back On Track!

When it comes to summer I don't love year round school, but during the year it can be really nice! Our kids have been off track for the last three weeks and we had A LOT of fun!! Here is what we did!


My aunt and uncle have a time share at Snowbird and they let us have it for a week because they went on vacation somewhere else. It just so happened that our kids were off track at that time so it worked out perfectly. It was so pretty up there this time of year and perfect weather! Thanks Nancy and Terry!!

Matt took the kids on a hike while we were there. You can sort of see the hotel we stayed in in the background.

They had a heated outdoor pool the kids loved!

One day while our husbands were at work, my friend Brooke and her kids came up and went swimming and played at the fun playground. We also went for a walk and the kids spent the next hour throwing rocks in a river...why is that so entertaining for kids?
Here is Brooke in the awesome swings they had there! They were really fun! The kids loved them...when Brooke would let them have a turn that is :)
We also went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden with Brooke and her kids. Once again we had perfect weather and a lot of fun.

My sister Kelli, my mom, and I all got together and made rasberry jam. YUMMY!
My sister Cadie and her daughter Brie flew out for the Women's Conference and while they were here we went to Gardner Village and saw the witches. If you've never been there this is a really fun time to visit. This is a picture of Alli and Brie...Alli LOVES Brie!
Caden and Taylor throwing rocks and apples into the river at Gardner Village.
One day we made Halloween sugar cookies...it was extremely messy but lots of fun!
Now we know where Caden learned his gang signs from.

Our ward's Elders Quorum party was held at Kangaroo Zoo. The kids loved it though they all came home with burns on their arms from sliding.


Last, but not least, when we weren't running around the kids kept busy by making forts on the boy's bunk beds. It was so fun to have the kids home and not have a schedule or homework to worry about. We all really enjoyed this time together.

Wow! Look at all the fun stuff you have done. How do you have the energy to do that being pregnant? You must be the best mom!

How fun! Did you make any extra raspberry jam that you can send to Georgia!.....with some of your yummy homemade bread?!

Thanks for posting that picture of me. I was just thinking I don't have enough pictures of me on a swing looking like an idiot! You were in that swing too, but you were the fastest moving pregnant woman when my camera tried to appear on the scene.

Great pictures...and I love your new-ish layout. Also, I didn't make raspberry jam this year, so I can just taste it!
