S'mores and more

I think this is really the last post from Utah. The first few are from our marshmallow roast with the GIANT marshmallows. I know the boys really enjoyed sitting around the firepit. We should have done that more. And one of my favorite treats is S'mores, I love them!

Nate sure can give us some crazy faces!

Trying to get a shot of the whole gang.

Half of the family.

The other half of the family.

Colton was snuggling with Uncle Aaron. He actually had the stomach bug this day and really didn't feel good at all. He had been throwing up all that day-my poor boy.

Aunt Janae watching Sofie and Josh play in the dirt. S'mores + dirt + kids = one big mess!!!

Uncle Jason, Aunt Tilisa, Audrey & Grandma enjoying the fire but bugged with all my picture taking.

Yummy!!! Mallows! I don't know if you can tell but these were ginormous mallows.

And the results are in. Nate says: "They're delicious!"


Now these next few pictures are just miscelanous pics of my Audrey girl! Oh, how I love her! She has been such an amazing baby! I waited so long for a little girl and she was worth every single minute of that wait!

Just ignore the arm coming from behind. We just wanted a picture of the girls in their almost matching outfits and bows. I call it my "pretty in pink" picture.

Grandma had Audrey just a smiling and almost giggling this day. I didn't get very good shots of her "HUGE" smiles but I had a few cute ones that I wanted to post. I just love how she just smiles with her entire face. Well, not just her face but with her entire body too, she just lights up with the most beautiful smiles that just makes you smile too.

This is just a small smile but still cute.

Just thinking about what grandma is telling her.

Uh-oh! She just found her mother taking pictures of her.

Fishing @ the trout farm

On my to-do-list was trout farm. The boys have been begging to go fishing for some time now. But I just don't think they'd have to patience to wait at a lake or river for fish to bite. So, I figured that the trout farm was the way to go. It was guaranteed to give us a fish. The only thing was that they were to wise to just take the bait so we'd throw fish food in and hold our poles in while they scurried for the food which eventually lead to one of them accidentally grabbing the hook too. Yeah, that's how we caught our fish.

Getting us all going.

Of course lucky Nate caught the first one.

Uncle Jason helping Colton.

Colton caught the 2nd fish.

Everyone helping Sofie and Josh catch one

Still trying...

Josh still at it. You can see that he really doesn't feel good.

Ya! He finally caught one!

Audrey & Grandma chillen in the shade.

All the kids looking at their catch!

Fun at Great Grandma's

Playing on the swings. So, we had a bbq at grandma Howell's with all the family. It was nice to chat and relax with everyone.

I love this Colton kid.

Grandma, Kyle, Erica & Audrey. We're excited for Kyle and Erica-welcome to the family.

Tilisa watching the kids play.

Chris brought the dunk tank. Everyone had a lot of fun. Nate is getting ready to be dunked here.

And here he is after getting dumped in. Josh did it too. He was on Uncle Kellen's lap, I have a video of him doing it but no pictures.

Grandma and Grandpa getting ready to go.

Grandpa holding the "twins" They had to do everything together and the same. They even ended up getting on the same poop schedule together.

Jason and Kellen holding Josh. Josh had some kind of stomach bug this night. He really didn't feel well at all. He just wanted to be held and sleep.

Great Grandma Howell with my 4 munchkins

Great Grandma with all her great grandkids. I didn't notice at the time but when looking at the pictures I saw Colton and Sofie holding hands. I think that's just so cute.

Water Fun

This is our last day in Utah and it finally warmed up enough to go swimming. We went to the Roy Aquatic pool. It was on my list of things to do and we barely got it in because the weather just didn't cooperate with a lot of the things that I wanted to do. I was worried that the water would be cold but it wasn't actually really nice and warm. Nate went down the slide all by himself. I even let him go up in line all alone. That was a big step for me to allow him to do, I was nervous the whole time but he loved it and even made a new friend while we were there. It was a lot of fun. I think we would like to do it again when we come up in August.

The boys went swimming at grandma's house. Uncle Aaron was nice enough to get in with them. They really had a lot of fun with him. They even managed to make a whirlpool in that little pool.

Colton is jumping in.

Now it's Nate's turn to jump.

And here they are making a whirlpool.
