City of Rocks

I was thrilled when our dear friends from our Flagstaff days agreed to
join up with us at the City of Rocks for a Labor Day hurrah. It was a
picture perfect day with blue skies and a gentle breeze. It was just
what my soul needed. I especially enjoyed reconnecting with the
Hopkinson family. They are dear friends with whom we share so much in
common. I am grateful to have Tiffany as a resource for womanhood and
motherhood. Tanner was especially cute oohing and aahing over the
rock formations as we drove around the National Reserve. I think this
may be the first of many trips to the City of Rocks.

Museums of Curiosity & Ancient Life

Garn was wonderful to get us into all the museums at Thanksgiving Point.  The kids had a blast exploring.  Holland was a bit of a bear that week and extra clingy.  I think all the transition and then a cold made life extra interesting for him and for me.  It was nice to have daily doses of family to distract us from the whining and whimpering.  

Wow, I didn't get may pictures.  Please post some of your favorites.

We went to the Museum of Ancient Life during their anniversary week
and they had lots of extra fun activities.

Fwd: [Dingleberry's] Fwd: FHE at Nunn's Park

It is moments like these that I think, "This is why we decided to move." 

We spent the evening with Garn and Papa up Provo Canyon at Nun's Park.  It was a beautiful evening without the threatening of rain or mosquitoes.  It felt refreshing to be able to simply enjoy being outside.  Garn and Papa treated us to Pizza and a game or five of Golf Ball Toss.  It such a treat to be closer to family!

Boot Camp-Youth Conference 2014

My boys had the chance to go to Youth Conference with their cousin Spencer and Papa.  They had a great time and enjoyed B.O.O.T. camp (building our own testimony).

Boot Camp complete with full military uniforms, drill sergeants,
military maneuvers, comradery, competition, skill building, food, and
the beautiful outdoors.

Fwd: [Dingleberry's] Fwd: Jiggle Fest

While in Utah we went to the Thanksgiving Point Jello-Fight.  The only thing Jiggly that morning were my boys attitudes.  After making a significant effort to get there no one wanted to participate.  Arg!!!  It took some persuading (okay bribing) to finally convince the boys that they wanted to have some fun.  I had a blast throwing Jello at my boys and at perfect strangers.  It was a super silly and totally crazy thing to do, made even crazier by the stickiest sticky after-effect.
