Family Vacation....

Green Show.. Look at the end of the pic's
there is a short video of one of the songs..

Family vacations are so much fun, our family went on a much needed
vacation, we headed down south on Sunday the 27th of July. First off we

went to Grandma Bessie's home and visited with her for the day and spent

the night. It was fun to visit with her, I love my Grandma, she is such a

strong women. The next morning we headed to St. George to James Mom's

home, we went to the Jacob Hamblin home and went on a tour, then to a water area for the boys

t0 play, and then to the St. George temple, we had a great time.

We stayed the night with Mom (grandma) the next morning we headed to

Zion's National Park, we went on the shuttle and saw all the sights, we were

going to go on a couple hikes, but we decided to for go the hikes, due

to the extreme hot weather, we went to the theater and saw the

"Treasure of the Gods" the boys enjoyed that!!! The theater was so

big it felt as though your in the movie! Mom thanks so much for letting

us stay with you and going to Zion's with us! We had a ton of fun we

love you! Next it was off to Cedar City, we stayed at the Days Inn,

the first night was eventful, we didn't check into the room until 10pm

which was a bit late, and I was so excited to find out they put us in the

top floor, I told them we had children, well I didn't think to much about it,

until about 11 pm we get a call from the front desk, " Yes this is the front

desk, we just received a complaint from the room below you that

you are to noisy!" I was a little perplexed! We weren't being loud

but then I realized that Caleb had been running back and forth, he

was so happy to be free from the car seat! I called back the front desk

and asked if we could change rooms, they told us in the morning they

would move us, so the rest of the night I had to worry that we were

going to receive another phone call, if we sneezed or had to get up to

go to the bathroom. :) The following morning we went to my Brother

Ryan's home and then went to their family cabin up Cedar Mountains,

it was at Navajo lake, it was so beautiful there, it would be fun to go

again!! The kids enjoyed spending time with each other. Thanks Ryan

and Jen! That evening we took the kids to the Green show, it is

fun entertainment before they begin the Shakespearean plays. Caleb

loved the singing and dancing, he was clapping and dancing..

Swimming is so relaxing, after the Green Show we went swimming,

at the pool, the boys loved playing in the water. Thursday morning we

we on our way home, wishing that it didn't have to end, we stopped

cove fort and went on a tour, Nathaniel loved it, we learned lots of

interesting facts about the fort! Vacations come and go too fast, I'm so

glad we were able to spend some time as a family!

This is a pic of the tunnel at Zion's

This squirrel was not afraid of anyone, he would

come right up to you and stare at you.

Grandma Bessie and the boys..

I had to take a pic of the rolling grass it was so

beautiful, especially when the wind blew.

Adrianna holding the frog that she caught, they

caught five or six frogs and had fun playing with

them, although by the time they were done playing

I'm sure the frogs were ready to be set free!

24th of July Celebration and other fun photos.

Caleb found my camera and he took a pic of himself, I was looking through my photos and found this. This was a beautiful sunset, Tuesday night..
For the 24th of July we did fireworks with our
neighbors, we had a blast. We were probably
lighting off fireworks for an hour and a half..



Say Cheese Nathaniel.

Caleb trying to blow mommy a kiss....

Caleb loves pop-its, he dumps all of them on the

ground and stomps on them.. and then replys "WOW"

Caleb really got into the fireworks, as you can see,

he was clapping and saying "more mom more!" and "Faster"

We cut their hair, played on the trampoline, played on the swing set and the kids had fun getting each other wet, (Nathaniel wasn't to happy, but he finally got over it!)


Allie and Caleb had fun playing with the water..

Caleb wasn't liking Nathaniel jumping. He kept saying

"Too high Nano, Too High!" and of course Nathaniel was

determined to keep going, little stinker!!

Saturday....Family Fun

Saturday Nathaniel, Caleb and I went to grandma and grandpa's home to visit. Adam, Chantel, Allison, and Luke have come from Buffalo NY, they arrived on Friday. It is so good to see them, it has been way too long since we have see each other. I sure have missed having my brothers and sisters living near by!!! I thought that I took a photo of Chantel but I didn't I'm sorry, I will have to take some more of the family when we see them again. Thanks for a great day yesterday!!

Caleb and Luke, I think that Caleb took a toy from Luke and
as you can see it is flying through the air! Sorry Luke!
Allison is such a little princess!! Caleb being such a ham!

Uncle Adam and Nathaniel having fun playing games! Thanks

Adam, Nathaniel enjoyed it!
Look at how grow up the two little boys are getting!

Outdoor Fun...

Nathaniel, Caleb and the Neighbor kids decided to play
with chalk. They had fun drawing, as you can see Caleb
really got into it, he was wearing chalk all over his body.
The past two days all he wants to do is go outside and play
with the chalk, or of course ride the scooter!

Caleb having fun with the scooter, he loves to scoot around.
