UTAH!!!

We had a fun time in Utah with all of our family!
Day 1 Flew into Utah where we met my Mom and Dad at the airport. They took us to Chuck E Cheese where we met up with my Sister Annette and her family. I was excited to see my new nephew Parker and held him the whole time.

Day 2 We got together with Marcus' family and had a big BBQ it was good to see everyone! I also has a new niece Bethany there and held her as well. We ate the kids swam and the guys played the Wii while the girls talked and caught up!

Day 3 Wheeler Farm. Marcus went fishing with his Father and brother while My Mom, Annette and her family, my boys and I saw the farm.

It was fun to see Branden with all the animals he just loves the Farm life and always has. We had good laughs at the animals. It was hot and after Annette and Josh went and made a Slurpee run and met us at the park! YUM YUM!

The 20th we went to the open house of the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple!! It was so pretty and it was so very neat for the boys to see the inside of the Temple. I am glad we were able to be well enough for this experience. Oh my mom was on the couch at this point with the GOMBOO! sad.
We then met up with Annette my sister and her family and my Brother Shawn and his family to eat at Cafe Rio. I was glad to see my nephew Jackson he had gotten so big. He is a cute little Shawn. We then went to Annette's house and I had not see it yet so we took a tour and then talked and caught up on life. The kids had fun running around in Annette's HUGE BACKYARD!
Then Watch out DANGER 2 in the morning it was my card drawn and I was out on the couch with the GOMBOO. Poor Cafe Rio not so good coming up!! still to this day does not sound so good.
So after that Marcus took the boys and went to see UP and to get out of GOMBOO LAND. I slept the whole day.

23rd of July I was feeling better and we went down town and met my Mom and Dad for lunch at the Lion House! I had the best Jello and Roll ever and to wash it down sprite. We then went to gateway where the boys ran through the fountains. It was fun watching them get all wet and have fun.
We did go through the visitors center at temple square and walk the Temple grounds. We went into the Joseph Memorial building and into the Distribution Center where My dad bought the boys a small Book of Mormon. They even slept with it. CUTE! By then I was about to die I was weak and tired I had over did myself in the heat and just wanted to go home but I had fun!Other Highlights of the trip because at this rate I will be up 4 more hours so here we go!South Town mall food court Yea!
Enjoying the ha mick at Nana's Marcus and his brother trying to be little boys and make a big fire work out of 5 boxes of sparklers. we could see spots for 5 min after this. Brick Oven in Provo my Favorite YUM YUM!Bowling at FAT CATS in Provo. The boys won a tee shirt for getting a strike good Job! I am glad that they both won by the end of the 2 games. No fighting over the tee shirt.We stopped on the way home form the store by a elk farm by my mom's house the boys had fun watching them and feed them through the fence. They also had bison.
We went on a few hikes in the mountains with my brother Shawn, Pam and Little Jack and my Mom. It was fun to get the fresh air. Also to see all of the wonderful creations that Our Father in Heaven has given us to enjoy.
We had our last big day on the 26th went to Church with the Nixon's and then my Mom had my brother and sister over for a nice home cooked meal and to visit one last time. We had fun and I am glad that we were able to get together with family!
