St. George Trip

This weekend we went to St. George to visit Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson. They are in St. George for the winter working at the temple. We had a great time. Friday afternoon when we got there we went swimming in the hotel pool. It was just a little to cold for Wyatt and I to get into the pool, but everybody else enjoyed it.




Then we went to the St. George temple and visitor center. We watched the Pinoeer Miracle there. It was a powerful movie. My chidre enjoyed seeing the St. George temple.





The next day, Kim, Zack and Aleese joined us as Paul went to Las Vegas for the Nascaar races. We went up to Dixie rock and hiked around. My kids really like this. We didn't take a backpack for Wyatt so we were lifting him up and down all the rocks in the stroller. He had a blast.











Then we went back to the hotel for more swimming and dinner. We all retired that night early because we were pooped. Today we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa and came home.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us invade you with our ruckus group. We love you and had a great weekend!

Trip Home

With my kids off track and John gone to Bear Lake for work, we decided to leave and go visit my parents in Star Valley. It was good to see my Mom and Dad. They have a lot of snow. The kids enjoyed playing on the hill of snow with the dog Bear. My kids love that dog. It makes me sad when I see them playing with that dog that I won't let them have a dog. Here are some pictures.

Here is Wyatt and Grandma and Grandpa.


After we left Grandma's house we went to Bear Lake to spend the night with John there in his hotel. We went swimming in the hotel pool. The kids had a great time. It was Wyatt's first time swimming. He was unsure at first but then he loved it.

Hill Air Force Base Aerospace Museum

Today, the kids and I went to the Hill Air Force Base Aeropsace Museum. We loved it!! It was really awesome. They have some cool planes there. Jacob my lover of anything war loved it. Below are some pictures.

Zoo Trip

So today was Joshua's kindergarten class field trip. We went to the Hogle Zoo. He had a lot of fun. I took Wyatt and Abigail with me. Wyatt was an angel baby at the zoo. Abigail loved the elephants. When we were there at the elephants, they started snorting at each other. It was cool. I had never heard them snort before. Joshua loved the tigers. They were really good looking tigers. And of course we had to have our pictures taken by the ape. Joshua is so excited he is almost as big as the orangatang.





It was a fun day at the zoo.

Yesterday Keri Poulsen and I got together and bottled 28 pints of tomatoes. We still have a gazillion tomatoes coming off of our plants. If anyone wants any, let me know. We also have pears and peaches starting to get ripe. I love this time of year when everything is ready to eat, and you get so much produce from your garden and neighbors pass their extra on and you share your extra.

Well, that is all that is up with us.
