Salt Lake

                         In between all our travels we hung out in Salt Lake with my family

Here we are taking a little ride in Bryce's fun car. Don't worry, we just went up and down our little street

            

One day Jess and the boys and I took Trax downtown to the Discovery Gateway. They boys LOVE the train.





That Discovery Gateway is the coolest place! My kids could play there for hours and hours! I heard they are getting a children's museum here in St. George and we are pretty excited! 


We were also at my parent's house during Taylorsville Dayz. Here we are watching the parade! Good times.


San Diego


We went to visit Wes's brother, Brandon in San Diego for a weekend. We had SO MUCH FUN! We were only there for a few days but we sure did a lot! Much thanks to Brandon for taking us everywhere and feeding us and giving us a place to stay! 

On the flight there, the flight attendant gave the boys some wings...here they are showing them off.


As soon as we landed we ate some lunch and headed to the SD Zoo. The weather was perfect and the boys had so much fun seeing all the cool animals. 
Here they are climbing in a koala tree

The Panda bear! That was really fun to see! Panda's are my favorite since all growing up I was called "Manda Panda"







After the Zoo we went to the Corvette Diner, a cute little 50's diner. It was so fun to eat there and it was perfect for us because it was loud and they encouraged throwing your straws! 
Look how cool those spiderman balloon animals are!

Playing around at dinner.

The next morning we got up and went to the Midway. The boys were sooo excited to go see an actual aircraft carrier! 

Here are just a bunch of pictures of us on the Midway. We spend a few hours there











After the Midway and lunch we headed to the beach! The boys just played and played and had so much fun with Uncle Brandon



While they played, I got to relax on the beach and take a little nap...and got a little sunburn :) 

The car ride home from the beach...some very tired boys! 

Waiting at the airport to fly back home. We can't wait to go visit again! 

Family Reunion

We had our Blake family reunion the 2nd week in June at The Big Rock Candy Mountain...yes, that is an actual place! Who knew!? We had a lot of fun! 
Here is us on a little bike ride

Of course Nathan and Blake found some dirt to play in. This is where they spent more of their time

Here we are all just hanging out, chatting. It was nice and relaxing

Ice cream break





Roasting marshmallows


One of the best parts of this reunion was that we couldn't get any cell reception! No phone calls, texts, or emails! It was fun to just take a break from everything and to see family that we don't see that often!

Grandpa's funeral

My Grandpa's funeral was yesterday. 

I love this picture of my dad and Grandma

 Here are all the boys carrying the casket. 

The nice thing about the funeral was that everyone was together. We got a family picture with everyone in it. It's been a long time since that has happened. 

It was a nice funeral. It was sad, especially to see my Grandma...they've been together for 63 years!

Dressing Your Truth discount

For anyone interested in Dressing Your Truth (I wish I had more time to explain how awesome it is) here is a link to get it at a discount...it's normally $297 (I know, that's a lot) but if I refer you right now you get it for $99
I know that's still a lot but it's totally worth it!

(No, I am not selling this, or making any money off of it, I just think it's cool so I'm sharing)

Basically you learn what your energy type is and then you learn how to dress according to your type.
I have loved learning my energy type and the types of my family. She also has a book called "The Child Whisperer" where you learn the types of your children and then you learn how to better parent them according to their types. I am loving that book! Okay that's all. I'm off to do homework!
(Only 3 weeks left of school!!!)
