Family Pics by Clint

Clint's family vacation kicked off with family pics in the canyon. I decided to take advantage and dress up in a black shirt and blue jeans like the kids. Clint agreed to take our pictures in his backyard and here they are...

Thanksgiving Point Fun



We had some fun times with the Rhoton family at Thanksgiving Point last week! I had a little fun playing with the pictures. Don't the kids look menacing here? This is in the bear cave in the Children's Discovery Gardens.


Cute picture of the baby Peej, looking like she might need to make a pit stop.










Then there's Blayne who is scaling rocks. Blayne is an adventurous young man. Poor Lindsay, Oh the worries she'll worry :-).








Next, we headed into the main gardens which wouldn't be complete without our beloved water fights in the Secret Garden. Joey loves spraying other people.







Kristyn is so good to my little Angel! My babies spend a lot of time with the Rhoton family while I work and go to college. I am so thankful that they care so much for Joey and Angel. They are an amazing family!

4th of July

This year we skipped the parade and the traffic. I felt a little guilty in the morning for skipping the parade but no one wanted to wake up. Patrick and I have been looking at houses recently and found two that we just loved. As we were driving around today though, we decided and put in an offer on a dream home, and it was accepted Yay! We came home and played outside at the park and then in the backyard in the kiddie pool. It ended up being a very nice, exciting but relaxing day. That evening we went outside and lit our own fireworks (and again skipped the festivities). I have to say though, I really enjoyed doing our own fireworks. The kids got so excited, they smiled and clapped way more then they did last year at Thanksgiving Point. Our cute neighbors came out and we lit a few more fireworks and sparklers. It was good times. We may have started a new tradition.
