Utah 2010 part 3

We also had a picnic in Provo Canyon with Grant's family. It was a lot of fun hanging out with everyone. We split into groups to see who could build the tallest structure with just spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. Everyone did pretty horrible, but it was a lot of fun to watch.

Warren and Garryn spent most of their time climbing up and down these rocks.



Sarah's little girl Gracie was trying to see what Adalyn was up to. She took one whiff of her stinky diaper and took off. It was pretty funny.


This is what Garryn looked like at the end of the day. Dirty, tired, and REALLY grumpy!!
We had a great time. We loved spending time with everyone in Utah. Hopefully we can make a trip again next year.

Utah 2010 part 2

We had a couple of day trips while we were in Utah. Jayson took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum by Thanksgiving Point. They had a great time

They especially like digging the toy dinosaurs out of the mud. Warren stuck a few of them in his pocket. When they got home and found them in his pocket they asked him why he put them in there. He said "so no one would see them". Mission accomplished. Later on he tried to say that Nana put them in his pocket. I guess my mom has some pretty long arms since she wasn't with them at the museum.

Warren and Amber are so silly! We also spent a day in Salt Lake City. We all enjoyed spending time at Temple Square. The temple is so beautiful!!
Garryn made Jayson carry him everywhere. We also took a tour of the LDS Conference center. This is a view from the roof. It is amazing up there.

We got back from Utah about a week and a half ago, but I am just getting around to posting the photo's now. There are a ton of photo's so I am going to break it into a couple of posts. We had a great time! We spent most of the time hanging out at Grandma Peterson's house. I found this horse while my mom and I were out garage sale shopping. The kids and I love it!! Jayson, not so much. Maybe it was the fact that we had to drive home with it on the roof of our van. It made it home safely. All the cousins like the horse as well.We also got to spent some time with Jayson's family. His Uncle Grant and Aunt Christie invited us over for dinner at their house. The kids had a great time playing in their awesome yard! Jayson and I enjoyed visiting with everyone!

Amber and the boys liked playing with their cats.

Warren thought he was petting one of the cats but he was actually smacking it. After several attempts of walking away from Warren the cat finally hissed and jumped at him. The cats claws got stuck in Warrens shirt. Warren started running around with the cat stuck to him and flaying around, He said to Amber "look Amber, kitty love me, he hugging me". I guess the cat finally hissed really loud and ran away. Too bad we didn't get it on video.

Amber took this picture of Adalyn. I love how it turned out. Garryn and I are in the background. I was trying to comfort him. I think Warren hurt him. They can be sooooo mean to each other.
Here is aother picture Amber took. She got a TON of Addie

The trampoline is always a fun time for the kids. Here is Amber jumping on it. The sky looked amazing in the background. It started raining a few minutes after this picture was taken.
Devon spent most of the time playing their piano. Devon loves the piano and keeps hoping we get one for our home.

The calm after the storm

Here is a picture of Warren and Garryn yesterday after a crazy and EXPENSIVE day. They both crashed on the couch. Here is a very brief recap of the day. We had two flat tires, and Garryn flooded our master bath. Luckily our handyman was at our house doing some work for us. He helped us get out our wet carpets out so we could salvage them. We will have to replace the carpet padding but it seams like everything else is OK. Garryn is a total stinker. You have to keep your eye on him every second or he is into some kind of trouble. I hope this phase doesn't last much longer. They look so cute when they are asleep. I wished it was me sleeping at this point but I was still busy with damage control. The life of a parent.

Brennon Baptism

Brennon got baptised about a week and a half ago on May 15. It was such a neat day. Brennon wanted Devon to be the one to baptise him. It was Devon's first time. He did a great job, even though I know he was really nervous. I was so incredibly proud of both of them. Here is our whole clan. Adalyn wasn't facing the camera in any of the pictures we took. This is the best we got. I am not sure what Brennon is thinking about. This was taken right after the baptism.Brennon's dad Scot and his wife Jill came for the baptism. Scot did his confirmation blessing. He did a really good job. Brennon is blessed to have so many that love and care about him. Brennon's friend Ashton drew this picture of Devon baptising Brennon. I love it! Check out Devon's full head of hair.

Devon entered a video contest for keeping Arizona green. He got an honorable mention for his video. Last night we went to an award ceremony for all the contestants that placed. I think Devon should have won but I am not one of the judges. You can go to the web site and see the picture of the winners and their video's . Here is the link .I am SO PROUD of Devon!! He worked really hard on this, and I think he did a fantastic job! He got a lot of really good feedback. Way to go Devon!!!

Bath Time

Last night the boys had a great time playing around in their bubble bath. Addie just hung out on the side of the tub, wishing she could join in on the fun.

On a side note, don't you just love my brick floors! You can kind of see them in the picture with Adalyn. I have them in my entry way and in my halls and all the baths. I will have to post some more picture of our new home. I need to do some cleaning first. It would be a lot easier to do the cleaning if I didn't have so many little one tearing it apart all the time. I love my messy rugrats!!! I guess I will just have to settle for semi clean photos! I will post some soon.
