Utah Trip 2009

Finally after a week and a half I am blogging about our fun trip to Utah. It has been very busy since we been home. Sean had to go on a work trip as soon as we got back and just got home last night. That always makes for a fun week for me.
Anyways, here is a whole bunch a pictures. They are all in order except for these first two.

Julie and Aaron just had their 3rd child late last night and I am so excited to have a new niece.

This girl is so awesome. We get along like we have been sisters from birth. I love and miss you, Julie!

This is the first Hotel we stayed in on our way to Utah. The kids loved it. They had a huge pool with a big movie screen that they were able to watch Disney channel while they swam.

Kaylee, Brooke and Jessica hanging out on the back porch at the the Parker's. Kaylee and Jessica were texting each other even though they were 2 feet away!

Sean and Alan after a hard game of racquetball!

This is the rec center in Bountiful. They have such fun rec centers in Utah. We need one like this here.

Kaylee and Kim-by other favorite sister in law. It was so hard leaving at the end of our trip. She is so fun to be around.

Brooke, Emma and Stephen

4th of July Breakfast

Faye and Kent at the parade.

The kids having cotton candy before the parade starts.(don't tell Julie. she doesn't like to give her kids sweets-oops. luckily for Stephen, I was in charge)

Cierra took this picture. Sean looks mad and she almost cut me off but I thought it was cute.

Nothing like a Utah Parade. They not only throw a ton of candy, but beads as well.

and stuffed animals.

I was so excited to run into by great friend, Kim Nay. I miss her so much and wish she still lived her. I'm glad I got to see her but I wish we could have spent more time together.

Sean standing by his old school. It has changed a lot since he went here back in the day.

Connor was letting off some big BOOMS!!!

ok, this is me looking like an idiot. I got a little scared going down this big slide.

Kaylee and Jessie

Johnny and Danny-don't ask me which is which. They hate their pictures taken and I kept tormenting them. I love Sean in the background.

Me and Cierra battling it out. I needed this, especially with her.

I won.

Fireworks time!

After all the festivities we needed to clean these dirty children.

Right before church!

My two handsome boys!

Connor is a monkey and will climb any tree he can get into. This is in Kim's backyard.

All the grandkids except Aaron who is on a mission and will be home next month and then Janna and Blake who were on vacation. We missed seeing them.

This in Oregon on our way home. We stayed in a hotel and we were just getting ready to finish the last leg of our trip!

We had a wonderful time. We did see Wayne, Lois and Carrie and her family but I forgot my camera. That was a bummer. I wished we could have seen them more but our time was very limited on this trip. Hopefully we will be back soon!

The only thing that went wrong on this trip was that on the way there we(meaning me, since I was driving) ran out of gas. My fauly, but we made it to this litle town that didn't ahve a gas station so we had to go to the tow repair shop were they robbed us blind by charging us 112.00 for 3 gallons of gas. I was so mad but what can you do? We had no other options. It sucked, big time! Sean was pretty mad but about 10 miles down the road we were laughing about it.
