Up and running again!

We are finally recovered (if you can say that) and back to our normal lives after our great trip to Utah. Our computer has been out of commission as well as the internet so, I'm glad to be finally checking "Update Blog" off of my list. Enjoy:)

Started our trip with a firework show put on by Aunt Liz and Uncle Josh...my kids adore these guys! And sweet Maddie....my kids did NOT adore her...until the day we got back to Florida and they wanted her again. Go figure.




Going to Lagoon for the first time....such a hit! The kids LOVED running from ride to ride....and after every ride, London would throw her hands up and say "That was AWESOME!" She was a trooper! Max loved getting to hang out with all of his cousins, he adores them. London and Stefan were even a little, uh, exclusive, by the end of the night...Thanks Gramma!!









Many trips to all the parks...it was so nice to be outside for a change!! They loved the duck pond at Barnes Park and also the Castle Park by Davis...of course I didn't take many pictures because, I'll admit it, I was just too dang lazy.





Sleepover and visit to Grammie and Papa Mark's. London got ahold of the camera for some of these shots...she's pretty good!! Max is still talking about the sleepover outside in the tent with Papa and London blesses Anna every night in our prayers. They sure love you guys!






Papa Bill's Birthday Bash at Woodland Park. Why didn't we always do this?? Brooke and Jeff coordinated a great campfire and the kids loved playing in the creek, roasting hot dogs, making s'mores, and chasing each other around everywhere. It was especially great talking about Bill and how he influenced all of us. We sure miss and love you, Papa Bill.








Helping Gramma with watering plants...and Maddie. That Maddie dog, she is a handful but I am so grateful Gramma has her. Papa Bill knew what he was doing, even though we thought he was crazy getting a puppy!





And for our last night, dinner at Kesley and Todd's...amazing! Their house was so fun to see and sooo beautiful! Thanks for the yummy dinner and great time!
And we ended our trip with a day at Typhoon Lagoon...good way to get the kids back on track and sleeping on Florida time. Now if only they would sleep through the night!!
