Salt Lake Trip

We decided as a last attempt to have fun this Summer, to go up to Salt Lake and spend the weekend having fun! It was really fun. On the second day of the trip, Kim and my Mom and Dad met up with us at the Zoo! It was great!

We spent the night in a hotel, and here is what our kids looked like after their busy day. By the way, they all really wanted to sleep in the same bed!
What do you get when you give three little kids their own ice cream cone?

Here is a cute family picture someone took of us at Chuck E Cheese. When we asked the kids what they wanted to do up in Salt Lake, they all said they wanted to stop in there.
The kids had a blast! After all of their tokens were spent, they all got a orange slimy lizard!

This picture was so funny, well not for the girls! They were riding a four wheel drive ride at Chuck E Cheese, and they thought they were going to fall out! They did NOT want to ride that one again!

Carbon County Fair

It think that the kids favorite part of the fair, was to go look at the animals. There were sheep, goats, bunnies, gesse, ducks, chickens, etc...


Benson decided he wanted to brave the climbing wall, here are a few pictures for proof!

The group, "BACA" (Bikers Against Child Abuse) had a free kids booth set up at the fair, and the kids had a great time doing the booth. I was even made part of the BACA family! At least that is what the older biker man told me after he tatooed my hand!
Every year they have a pool set up at the fair with live trout in it. The kids all were able to hold their own fishing pole, and tried to catch a fish. Ben was so die hard about trying to catch one, that after fourty five mintues or so, he was told he had to leave!

International Days!

We all really enjoyed going to International Days this year, here are some pictures that I took:

Benson loved going on the rides! It was nice that we were able to purchase an unlimited ride pass for twelve dollars, otherwise I would not have let them go on so many rides!
When I look at pictures like this one, it is so easy to believe that my little boy is going to be going to Kindergarten! He is getting so big!
The kids are eating cotton candy with their friends Allee and Carter.

Julia loves hanging out with Dad!
Here I am helping the kids:

The kids and I went to the Price International Days Kids day. Here is a picture of them there:

Julia's Four Year Old Birthday!

Julia opened most of her presents when we had her family party, but we decided to celebrate on the day of her birthday by taking her to the new Winger's and bowling. At Winger's the three kids shared a piece of the ice cream pie. We all had a great time bowling.

Grandma, Grandpa, Liz and Court Coming to Celebrate Julia's Birthday!

On Saturday, we went up Huntington canyon, and then to Joe's Valley. For some reason I forgot to take my camera out of the car! So, I did not take any pictures of that! When we came home, we had Julia's birthday party. It was so fun having them come down and visit. Here are a few pictures of Julia:










I took these pictures right before we ate dinner the first night at the Greek Festival in our town! The food was great!

Fourth of July 2009

For the fourth of July weekend we went up to Ben's Dad's house. We all enjoyed spending time with all of the family members that could be there! The kids loved spending time with cousins! Here are some of the pictures:
The parade:
On the morning of the fourth, we went to the Clearfield parade! It was an awesome parade, and the kids enjoyed seeing the floats and horses!




Playing in Huntsville at Pineview:
We went up in the afternoon to Pineview Reservoir and had a picnic and played in the water.



The fireworks:
In the evening we watched the Clearfield city fireworks! My Mom bought the kids some glow necklaces a week ago, and so they really enjoyed playing with them while we waited for the fireworks to start.:
