| we took our kids on a mini vaca last weekend for fall break. we stayed in a family suite in Zions for a night. we felt they deserved a little R and R with the folks that gave them life. it was so great. muchly needed. we ate out that night and played games for a while at the hotel before they all crashed in their beds. |

| seriously the kids killed it on this hike!- liam really was a conqueror i mean they whined a little bit... but i was SO proud of them for making it to the very top pool it was like 2-3 miles round trip some of that was steep stair incline... it was a fun getaway. its so nice to go away and focus just on our kids  we went to thriller for the first time ...at tuacahn  it was freezing! well, lets be honest...it wasn't northern-utah freezing, just st. george freezing but still cold enough for a blankie!  ...a little pasta/carb load before JAMI and KELSIE's first half marathon!! whoot whoot! kelsie -sitting next to me is jami's friend from hygiene school and momma max is sitting by jams.  refer to top pic. we stayed at a hotel in boulder city by lake mead, just outside las vegas... jami's mom, Maxi, came with us and acted as our support group/picture taker/chauffeur/shoulder to cry on:) and we love her for it!   totally took state! a way-good chip time for their first 1/2! little miss kelsie didn't even train...what?! and i love my dear sis! she got me to sign up and was so much fun to run with... she even lent me an ear bud when mine stopped working and we ran side by sweaty-side for a while so i could have some tunes! thanks! it wasn't that easy running connected by the ears...:)    it was only 7 miles from where the race ended. wish we'd had a tour to learn about it, but we were too tired...:)  charlie was adamant that we didn't 'paint' his face. but we had a black chapstick so he did is own make-up thinking it was his favortie 'hmmmmm' (thats what he calls chapstick) ps. my sister megan, who is SO talented at making costumes for all her boys, every year! ...made these skeleton costumes once for her boys...so i take no credit for them...  its going to be a mild night wednesday too for the real trick or treating ... blah...more candy! seriously! |
