Cabin Fever

In the fall we went to the cabin on 2 different occasions about two weeks apart. The first weekend was conference weekend. It is such a peaceful atmosphere, the weather is perfect, and the boys get to squeeze a little fishing in on the side.
Oh, and I can't forget one of my favorite conference traditions..fruit pizza..with John in command on the finishing touches--yum yum!

2nd trip to the cabin...

Our next trip to the cabin we were on a mission. About 3 years ago my parents took the whole family to Disneyland for a few days as a "pre-payment" for helping re-roof the cabin. We thought we were off the hook as the years passed one after another, but my parents didn't forget, they cashed in this last fall!! Dustin fell off the roof, and John fell as far as the scaffolding which "broke" his fall. No one got hurt and the new roof looks great thanks to the crew leader Corey(my cousin) and his expertise, that guy is up at dawn, back off the roof at mid day on the dot(for lunch of course), then works till dark. It was a great weekend with food, family and fun. John did get out of work on the 4th day, claimed he was sick. It only turned out to be the SWINE FLU..oh fine, I guess he can have the day (or 7) off.

Halloween

Happy Halloween!! Oh wait, looks like I'm a little late on this one too. I tried the whole day to get Drew to put a costume on, no luck...

Kole's Baptism Day

 





Kole was baptized on Septmeber 26, 2009. We are so proud of him for making this decision. He sang "Baptism" and did an excellent job. We had so much family and so many friends who came to support him. I know it meant a lot to him. It meant a lot to John and I. He was baptized by John. Grandpa Gary and Grandpa Earl were witnesses, Grandma Eileen and Aunt Tiffany spoke about baptism and the Holy Ghost. Where does the time go???

One at a time.....

I will attempt to update but judging by the last time I blogged this could take awhile.

First up...HAWAII. We only took approximately 900 pictures. To save time and expedite the update process, I will just post them to a web album(not all 900) so you can take a peak at the fun time we had. (I narrowed it down to 253 pictures, some of ours, some of the ones Grandma and Grandpa took. You may start to feel like you're looking at them twice. Enjoy!

Hawaii, here we come!!!

We are so excited and we feel so lucky that we get the chance to take another family vacation to Hawaii. This year will be a little different and a little longer. We are leaving Friday the 12th of June and will be staying 1 week on the island of Kauai. John's parents will join us there which will be lots of fun. The next week we will meet up with my family on Maui where we will stay for another week. The boys are very excited. Just imagine, beautiful ocean and beach, super fun 3 acre pool with a special play area for toddlers that features a pirate ship and cute dolphins they can climb around on. . . oh yeah I forgot to mention. . . . .











While mommy (that's me) was at her Emergency Nurse Pediatric Certification course, little Drew was innocently. . .



When along came 85 pound big brother to do a slider roo (it's a word). This was on Grandmas ground level tramp so he came running from the other side of the grass building momentum with each stride. Needless to say, little Drew got bounced a little too high and Grandma knew right away something wasn't right. Please note, it IS a rule that when baby is on the tramp, no one else is unless they are just sitting.

Hawaii will still be fun, just not quite what I had imagined. Drew got a waterproof cast which I think sounds cooler than it really is. You still have to worry about letting it dry out completely, here in La Verkin that wouldn't be a problem. The air is a bit more moist in Hawaii.

Lucky for us, Drew is a good sport as you can see by his cute pictures, Kole feels awful and I really don't think it will happen again. Wish us luck!!!
