Last few days

THe big news today is that Raegan lost her top tooth....finally. She has been a little whiney that it hurts and she can't eat. I was happy to see it go since it had a cap on it from a cavity although that is just a lot of money down the drain now that I think of it. Oh well......

A few pictures before we left Utah. We were sad and happy to leave. It's hard leaving the comforts of my mom's house where she pampers me to come home and sweat to death the minute I walk out the door. It was fun while we were there and now look forward to Christmas ;)

This has been what it is like with Logan the last few weeks. I don't know if he misses his dad or that he really has issues, but he has been a little stinker (HUGE actually) the last few weeks. He will be lucky to make it to his 4th birthday the way he is going! One of the girls (including myself) just might turn on him soon!!!! Watch out buddy!

24th celebration

Utah celebrates the 24th of July as the day the pioneers came into the valley. Our family goes to Bear Lake and camps and plays in the water. This year we didn't camp because I had the flu but we did get to go up one day and play in the water. I even felt well enough to knee board and ride the jet skis although I about died when I got off I was so tired.
This is our annual volleyball game which is more of who can make the biggest fool out of themselves.

Raegan and Aunt Brittany made her into the little mermaid
Trying to paddle out of the shallow waters

Isn't she the cutest little skunk ever!

Lighting fireworks the last few nights

Busy few weeks

We have been busy the last few weeks. Our time here is winding down and I think we are ready to get back to Florida and get into a routine. We have had a lot of fun getting taken care of by grandmas.

This is the dinasour museum.

Watching a parade with Uncle Morgan and Aunt Brittany

Grandpa returning from his harley trip.

Grandma and the kids

We had a friend from England come and visit and we played tour guide to Temple Square with her.

We're finally Olympians! It's about time!

Jake and I got to go to the Olympic park in Park City and do all the events they do there. The first two pictures are of the ski jumps they used for the Olympics. There were girls practicing that day. It was amazing to watch how they jump out and lean forward. A lot braver than I am. The other one is practicing jumps and landing in water. They had lots of little kids jumping. It was fun to watch.

This is us going up on the chair lift to go down the zipline.

Getting hooked up for the zip line......

And away I go..........
I totally beat Jake that time!
We also got to experience the bobsled. It isn't on ice and the bobsled has wheels, but needless to say, I am glad I did it, but won't do it again. I thought my brain was going to come through my nose. Not a pleasant experience. This is after we have survived enough to take a picture with our driver.
A fun experience overall!!!

Things that make you go hmmm.....

Brielle with Logan's undies (clean thank goodness) on her head. She looked like a drunk baker. It was really cute though with those little pig tales sticking out. As much as she is drooling you would think she was drinking!

Raegan had her tonsils out and she did a great job. She is still smiling because this is pre surgery. I was afraid of a whiney girl that would take every advantage she could, but she was back to normal that night. That made mom very happy!

And we just had to stick in a picture of crazy Logan.

Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon

Jake and I were lucky enough to be able to go and finally visit the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. It was beautiful!! We really enjoyed ourselves and have wonderful weather. It was great being at around 8000 feet when we are used to being at sea level

These are of the Grand Canyon. It was huge! We couldn't even see the bottom.

These are all of Bryce Canyon. It was by far my favorite place.

Touch down

This was my favorite part.

We went to Tuacan which is an outdoor theatre. The show was "Footloose". This is a picture of the lead Ren and for all you "So You Think You Can Dance" fans, this is Thayne from a season or so ago. He was fun to watch dance, not the best singer, but fun to watch.

Brielle and cows

Brielle visited my grandparents farm for the first time the other day. She was excited and scared of the calves. Raegan and Logan have grown used to them a little and are very fascinated with watching them get milked. My kids could be farm kids, Logan's favorite thing is riding the hay truck with grandpa! The videos are kind of boring, but anyone that knows my kids well will think this is funny. The sad thing for me is the longer I am away, the more the cows stink!!!
