Living on a Prayer

This is Gabe's favorite song. Just thought it was funny

Snowbird

Jeff's company party this year was at Snowbird, they gave each family rides for the different rides they had up there. We chose to the the bull ridding, and the rock climbing wall for the kids. The Alpine slide kept getting closed because of the rain and we had our fill of waiting in the line. They also had facepainting a magic show and lunch. The kids had fun and we froze, it was a chilly 52 degrees up there on saturday!

Lagoon

On Friday night we took the kids to Lagoon for the first time. We went with Kim and Owen and their kids. I dont think I have ever seen that level of excitment with Kelsi. She was jumping, talking non stop, running, smilling, ect ect. Kelsi was tall enough that she was able to go on most of the rides. She loved the upside down roller coaster the best. She also scored because most of them she got to go on twice as we parents took turns. Gabe loved it, the first ride he had a death grip on the safety bars but after the intial shock he was really having fun. He was able to go on most of the rides, just not the big rollercoasters. Hopefully next year he will be able to do it, good incetive to start eating all his dinner... :)
Anyways here is a few pictures I managed to catch while I wasn't chasing Tory or before it got to dark..... Thanks for the fun weekend Kim and Owen, we really had a lot of fun!!!

Camping

We went up to Flint Mountain a few weeks ago and had a nice camping escape. It was so nice to get away from everything and enjoy some time with our family. The kids had a great time and we had a fun time trying to keep up with them and all the hikes they wanted to do and all the strang noises that go bump in the night. It was a much needed trip and we hope to go back some time this month.

Kelsi helping carve the family intials in the camping area we claimed :) She thought it was so neat


Gabe playing on a rope swing we found.


Jeff playing on the swing.


Jeff showing the kids how to push over dead trees. They thought it was so cool. They cleared a lot of trees and was being as strong as bears.

Tory loves her dad.
