Park City

One of my favorite places in Utah is Park City. We always have the best time when we head up that way. We had fun shopping, going down the Alpine Slides, and of course lunch on Main Street. Jack and Andrew both loved the slides but just about gave my mom a heart attack on the chair lift...I was laughing so hard I almost wet my pants.

One little side note...if you pay up the wazoo to go on the slides don't you think they could shuttle your little sled thing to the top of the slide for you. It was a bit tricky to get the sled and two little boys to the right place.

Oquirrah Mountain Temple Openhouse

We couldn't pass up a chance to go take a look at the new temple in South Jordan. It is so amazing.

Heritage Pioneer Park

While in Salt Lake we headed to Heritage Pioneer Park. I had never been and it was so much fun. I thought it might be geared towards older kids but my kids loved it. They got to ride on trains, visit the petting zoo, ride horses, make arrowhead neclaces, and much more. If anyone needs a fun activity I would head there for sure!

St. George

We had a great 4th of July weekend in St George. My mom headed down from Salt Lake and so it made the trip even more exciting and fun. We had a blast doing all of the usual St. George and 4th of July things...shopping, swimming, getting stuck in traffic, eating out, mom and Andrew went on a date and of course fireworks. Thanks for a fun weekend mom. We can't wait till next week. We are headed to Salt Lake for a week and then Powell for a week. We are so sad Kevin can't come but know he will be working hard at school...or partying because he will have no wife and kids to nag him.

At the Fireworks!



Andrew getting all geared up for some serious boating and skiing



someone please teach my child how to STOP smiling for the camera...yes that is his attempt at a smile.



Andrew working very hard doing POP's

Meet Mr October right here!

Crazy Boys

We headed to the park last night after picking up 30 cent tacos and had a picnic. We had a great time in the 105 degree weather...what was I thinking? It was overcast so I thought it might be managable. We had fun attempting to play soccer, swinging and sweating our brains out! Next time we might just head to the pool again.

Andrew after "making mud" I swear this kid is on a timer. As soon as we make it to this park he has to go to the bathroom.

The Swings...Andrew looks huge for that swing but they just love them.

Andrew with his bright red face all the time. It is not a sunburn mom...i do put block on him. He was just very hot after running around.

Jack was happy as long as he was holding the ball. We tried to play soccer but jack would not have it...funny kid did not want to share.

Jack's new attempt at a cheeser.

So my blog is going to be a bit different because we have moved. My family in Salt Lake wants a lot of pictures so when there is nothing else to blog about...like today, we will be posting pictures of the boys. Of course never good ones since it is like pulling teeth to get them to look at me and be cute. Anyway, llife is good and other than a great photographer (aka Mark:bring ali too) and Grandma Trish we couldn't ask for more.

AZ

We are alive...and having a great time here in AZ. It took a little bit to get settled and get the internet. We are finally in and really liking it. It seems like there is so much to do here. We have a pool and passes to a fun Childrens Museum. Our ward here does a ton of groups and clubs so we are also busy with those. The library here is amazing. They do activities almost every day and have culture passes that get us into different things around the city. We love it all. It has also been fun to be close to Kevin's family and we have had a chance to see a lot of them. We do really miss the Tullis family and especially Grandma Trish. My kids cry for her and are "saving" her bed just for her. We are excited to see her in just about a week in St. George. The Genius that I am has not taken any pictures so I will get on that now that I know where my camera is. We are doing great and hopefully pics coming soon.

Seriously Mark...

They turned out AWESOME. I have put off getting the boys pictures taken because I didn't just want to head to Target or some place like that. We have a friend, Mark that is an amazing photographer. He got some amazing shots of the little ones. If you need some pictures taken, check out his blog he is so so good http://www.ambphotocompany.typepad.com/. Thank you so much We love them!!!

Time Flies When You Are Havin' Fun

We have had a great few weeks. We headed to Destin, Florida with 32 of the Tullis fam. We had a great time filled with long relaxing days on the beach. Hello talk about an oxymoron. Relaxing doesn't really happen with kids and the beach. Still- it was the best time ever. Andrew just kept telling us "The waves is my favorite part mommy...I just like the waves!" We fit in a whole lot of tennis as well. All the boys went deep sea fishing and caught a bunch of fish that they cooked for dinner that night...we passed and headed for a night out!!!

We had a great Mother's Day. Kevin and my boys are the best. They are so special to me and work hard to make me feel like a good mom.

The next week we went to Arizona to look for a place to live. It was freakin hot but i better get used to it. We came home to 75 degree weather...we will be back here in 3 years if I have anything to say about it :) It was so much fun to see family.

Now we are just packing and trying to get in seeing as many of our friends and family in as we can.
