Ok since I am so far behind, I figured I am just going to post our previous vacations and everything else as i do it, I was going to try and go back and put it in order, but i'm spending so much time trying to figure out how to do it, that is way to frustrating to me. So "we" may look a little younger but that's not a bad thing.. at least for me it's not :)

Alaska

Our family went to Alaska this summer, we had such a great time, It is so beautiful there. This was our first actual "Family Vacation" together as a family and has now become a tradition.. Both the boys got pop card's they were estatic about it, our ship was so beautiful, It was the millenium on celebrity. The view was incredible, the weather was a little chilly but we enjoyed time together. We had a bit of a problem, on our way from Seattle to Vancouver we caught an earlier flight, well we made it but Austin's luggage didn't our jacket's were in his bag so when we got off the ship we were freezing and had to go buy jackets.. Thank goodness they were on sale :) We made alot of beautiful stops along the way, Jeneau, Ketchican, Icy Strait Point, Skagway, Sitka and Anchorage. Austin and Landon's favorite thing on the trip was the zip line, they absolutley loved it. All the girls went whale watching in the morning, we also saw aa bear it was my favorite of the trip.. there were a few pods of wales out swimming together. I was on picture duty while Dawn was recording. Alix and Sky developed a crush on the tour guide and were googeling at him and then we made it back to land in time to watch the Guys come down the zip line.. They all really loved it once they made it down that is. Wayner and T. A said they were all scared crapless.. other then that Aust's favorite of the trip was the around the clock chicken wings and Land's loved the glass elevator's.

Vegas Baby 2006

What happens in Vegas…..

Just after Jepp’s finished his first Chemo treatment, our family decided that we needed to spend some time together and have some fun despite all that was happening with our sweet little Jepp’s. Troy had a convention in Vegas and brought the whole clan. Jepp’s had his central line in and at the time, and I had been taught all the things that I needed to to do to take care of him from home, and to kind of sort of be his nurse. He was on a feeding tube and I had to five him his meds through his central line. Remembering this right now makes me want to be a nurse. Anyway, we had a wonderful time together, it was the last “trip” or get-a-way that we did while we still had our little jepp’s around. These pictures bring back great memories to me.

So, as soon as we got into Vegas Dem and Troy had rented a long stretch Hummer Limo it was so Fun, it picked us up from our hotel and we headed down the strip.. We stopped and got some ice cream at baskin robbins. Such fun memories.

Trip to the Temple

I go running at the Bountiful Temple, as I was running I noticed that they had a picture at each house around the temple telling the story of baby jesus. So I called Brandon and had him bring the boys up for a little FHE, Austin & Landon each traded of as we drove around the temple each of them read a part of the story, It was such a great moment, I loved it. After we walked around and enjoyed the Beautiful view and took some pictures, after a few minutes of pictures the peace turned into termoil as the boys began to brawl and that was that :)

February 2009

Well since I have not updated my blog in over 3 months and I am on the midnight shift at work I figured that now would be a perfect time for that. Not only am I bored out of my mind I am frustrated because i don't know how to work this whole blog thing. I guess if I updated it more often I would remember how this whole thing works.. We are getting ready to go down to St. George for Landon's baseball tournament we love this time of year we love baseball, we love to get away as a family and usually the weather is a little bit warmer :) We also get to see Jared, Kari and the boy's. Were looking forward to the holiday weekend, good times and good weather.

California 2006

We had such a great time together in California our favorite thing to do is just hang out together in Aunt Dem's kitchen and talk.. we all get in a big circle and just visit.. On this trip we did a few things, we wen't swimming, went to the beach and went to a L A Dodger baseball game.. Some fun thoughts about the trip... Austin and Landon think there pretty cool and are buff, at the beach, Alix and I decided to walk backwards towards the ocean, it didn't seem like the waves were big at the time, alix kept saying Aunt Nadd were not going to fall down are we? I said of course not, and we kept talking, the next thing we know we were both taken underwater by a big wave and were in complete shock, we were both pretty mad.. Im sure it was pretty funny to watch.. The kids were all about finding sand crabs and it was actually sunny on beach day.. We love baseball... Dodger stadium is a really fun place to watch a game, we eat hotdogs, nacho's, popcorn, cotton candy.. pretty much we spend half the time at the consession stands:) just a few memories of our trip to cali..
