Utah Trip!!!--Swimming

Okay so I'm going to break down the trip into different events and posts so you don't have just one really really long post!!

We had a blast in Utah with my family. Amy (my SIL married to Keith) came up often with her three kids Steven-5, Kate-3, and Ryan 19-months. One of their favorite things to do was to play in the kiddie pool that grandma has.


Amy even got in and swam with the kids and they loved climbing all over her here they were pretending she was a train.

Ryan a.k.a RyeRye wasn't as interested in swimming, more in just running around in as little clothing as possible!



Aspen and Steven got along really well, and right off the bat. Whenever they were in the pool they liked to pretend to be water snakes or alligators and the would crawl around on their hands making make believe houses and having Kate bring them food and pet them.

"I'm going to eat you chomp chomp"

Steven a.k.a Steive Wonder Boy


Kate a.k.a Kateness or Katedid



They loved to jump up and land on their bottoms (ouch I know!) so they could make big splashes.
Here's Steven's best.


This is Kates turn.


And well...Aspen can't just to high so I couldn't get her in the air, but this is her landing SPLASH!

Memory Lane

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories are out there!

Home Again, Home Again Jiggigty Jig...

Well, we are back home in good old Florida. We had a great almost 2 weeks in Utah with my family and a few of my friends. We even had the opportunity to go to a family reunion for my mom's Smith side of the family and we learned some family history about her father and his parents and got to see some cousins I've not seen in many years ( and many people I've NEVER met!) My mom has a large family 1 brother has 6 kids who where all there with their children, her 2nd brother was there with three of his 4 kids and her sister was there with 8 of her ten kids and all of their children! It was crazy but fun. One day we took Dane to downtown Salt Lake City to see some of the church sites since this was his first time to Utah. We'll I'll have some pictures up some time next week--they were all on my parents camera and I forgot to make a cd of them and that will have to wait till my dad gets back from Mexico next week. Hope you all have a great 4th of July weekend!
