this is the end...i promise!

here are our final shots of St George time. our kids LOVED THE SAND!
except for the weather was still a little too chilly for Kylee...she wimped out and put her shoes back on.
a love note for my LOVAH!

so Ky decided to write something for her...

because we all know that it is ALL ABOUT KYLEE

THE END.

aren't ya happy? now i get to start talking about where we are going in April. i will give you a hint...it starts with an F and ends with a LORIDA!

the middle child that wears PURPLE

Tessa wanted to jump in that puddle SO BAD
the wind was a blowin' and Kylee stuck her arms inside her jacket

sitting atop a large massive rock

the one wearing PURPLE is atop the largest rock

the only problem was...GETTING DOWN!

our Daredevil for a monday

AND YET SOME MORE PICS OF HIKING...

getting ready to hike into the NARROW/CAVE and guess who was the leader this time...

at the end of the cave, the SMALLEST ONE is the BRAVEST ONE. i guess it didn't help that the older two have a mom who thinks it funny to yell, "IT'S GONNA GET YA AND WATCH OUT!". she even wanted to go further into the little holes that i am sure had some sort of creatures living in them.
finally, Brenton decided he could do it if THE BABY COULD DO IT

our Daredevil for Tuesday is the one WAY UP AHEAD IN THE PURPLE!

st george, part III

on our last day, sunday, it was so wonderfully warm that we put on our bathing suits and layed out by the pool. and yes, even though not a word of it was said to my children, we got in the pool. i now have a nice tan glow about me. around 4 i told molly it was time to hit the road. so we packed up and followed eachother home, just to make sure the other wasn't harmed in any way.

this is a shot of molly and i stopping for some dinner at good ol subway, again i had to make sure we ate somewhere where there is a veggie option. we shared the veggie sandwich and it was good!!

i know that some of you are thinking what the H is this shot about?? well let me tell you, i have to go to the dentist today and i already know that i am going to hear bad news. i always hear bad news, no matter how much i brush, use special toothpaste, and floss...i ALWAYS HEAR BAD NEWS. so this picture makes me think of all of my feeling towards going to the dentist. that, and the fact that i have been watching ALIAS again (i mean i am obsessed all over again)! for those of you who have watched it you will understand. (my mom has all of the seasons on dvd)

st george, part I

so it seems that i do not put my mother in my blog enough...mom this one is dedicated to YOU! i left for st george on thursday night with my sister nicole with me. my children hugged and kissed me goodbye and tessa was more than happy to be left with her dad. nic and i hit a few snowstorms on the way down (happy happy joy), but we made it safely there. the next day we went running and then made my grandma watch marley and me. my uncle ross then took me, grandma,nic, aunt dixine, and himself out to lunch at red robin. my mom was waiting back at home for her old friend from las vegas to arrive (debbie). when we got back nic and i decided that we wanted to go see 17 again (i have discovered that my 6 year old and i have a crush on the same boy). we called molly to find out when she would be arriving, we ended up going to the 7 showing and having a good time being sisters. here are some shots from Friday.

my MOTHER, GRANDMA, and NICOLE

then i forced MY FACE in the picture

this is molly calling mom and saying that she needed to order us some dinner cause we were hungry after the movie...and they were supposed to wait for us!!
this is us waiting for our dinner...veggie pizza (molly is a vegatarian now)


grandma was left at home to be teased by her grand daughters. she was watching some stupid show on tv so i made her watch notting hill, love you grandma.

i have some super funny stories for tomorrow...THREE MORMON GIRLS AND VEGAS!!

st george vacation

we just went on a trip to st george where the heat is so much better than here in slc (yuck)! it was my whole family and it was very fun. alot of swimming and eating and laying around doing whatever. here are some fun pictures.


this is a picture of molly(my sister) and kylee playing cards, so sweet of molly to do this for her niece

brenton and brady(my nephew) ready for bed and acting like action heroes. brady was brenton's little shadow the entire trip.

the baby girls in the kiddie pool with nicole(my sister) and grandpa

saylee(my niece who is 6 months older than tessa) and tessa in the exact same suit that nic and i did not plan!!!

tessa in the pool with her grandpa

brenton and kylee made sure that grandpa was keeping on enought sunscreen (just wish i had done the same for brenton, poor kid)

this is what sun and swimming will do to a kid at the end of the day

brenton going down the slide

brady stating his own personal quote "i don't want to"

it is finally hot here in stinky utah!! and my little girls face says it all "bout time!" it is really late now and i should be sleeping but i am not because i was determined to put something on my blog. kylee has her dance recital this week so pictures will be up soon on that. sending my love out to all of those who prefer heat over the cold, marci
