We have been in St George this week.  On Wed. we went to Las vegas and played at Circus Circus.  We had a lot of fun.  
This was a ride that Isabel and Brady wanted to ride this is the before picture

This was the after picture

Thanks to my mom and dad we were able to go on a lot of rides with the two older kids because they walk around with Lilly.  After the Adventuredom we went to see some friends in Las vegas and had a great night. Good food folks and fun.  They have a little girl that will be five in a few days and when we left Isabel asked if she would be in her preschool class because she had so much fun she wanted to play with her again.  Thanks Jinny and Matt!!

Hike to the Letter (also known as the Y)

So about a month ago, Jackson came over first thing one morning and asked if I would take him up to the Y. He and I had hiked it once with the scouts and he thought it would be cool to go again. Keli was out of town and so Jessie came and watched the girls and Brady, Big Parker, Jackson and I were off.

Have to say, it was awesome. Those 3 boys are hilarious. I really doubted that Brady would have enough gas in the tank to make it clear to the top, and I was right, but Big Parker ended up taking Brady about the last fourth of the hike on his back.

Anyway, good times and hilarious pictures and I topped it all off by ruining their dinners with some delicious ice cream at the creamery. Enjoy!

P.S. In case you were wondering, Brady asks me everyday, "Dad, remember that time we hiked to the letter?" I always tell him it's the Y, he repeats, "Oh the Y," then next time asks, "Dad, remember that time we hiked to the letter?"

Kids

For all those who are wondering we are still in the process of adopting the girls. We are still waiting on the Birth father but we are not even a little worried about what will happen with him we just have to do the trial because it is the law but very soon within two months we will be all finalized. Yeah!!

our sunday

This was last sunday I thought the kids looked so cute and of course Brady and Isabelle (that is what we are calling her now when I remember) were totally all for pictures but Lilly was not having any thing to do with it. Very typical :) Sorry about all the post in one night but I finally had time to do it.

Mountain Men and Woman

Here we have our own mountain men and woman this was probably the best "house" at the heritage park it had a lot of hands on things for the kids.



More park city pics





There was a Classroom and Brady got chosen to show some of the discipline methods they used back then. Hopefully he won't get into trouble in two weeks when they two kids start preschool!!

Our trip to park city






This year for our family vacation we went to park city and plated in Utah. We have not stayed in Utah for a long time so it was fun to hang out and see some things we haven't done yet. First we went to This is the place heritage park. It was suprisingly very fun. We thought that maybe we would spend of few hours then go over to the zoo. But we ended up spending all day there and we had a great time. In the picture that is where the kids rode the horse, and were in the petting zoo and Jill riding the train with Lilly as the conductor. We also rode on the mountain coaster and the alpine slide. The mountain coaster was a BLAST!!! I think I could have rode that all day long. They also had a zip line but we weren't able to go on that maybe next time. It looked like a huge rush. The rest of the time we just spent together as a family and had a ball. Thanks Jill for all you did to organize it for us this year!!!

Milk Mustache



We made smoothies and Lily really enjoyed hers as you can tell I thought it was so cute.
